Another good thing is that they check for is if a comic is trimmed.

Yesterday I Got edge of Spider verse #2 first appearance of Spider Gwen Definitely a key issue for my collection

[Scrakabees]

Wow! Flossing those Wolverine and Saga books over your right shoulder. That is easily the prettiest Saga cover. Excellent get.

Ugh. New Mutants 98. I used to have that one. It's worth like $500 today.

i do not care about grades/ i prefer raw, and when i do want a specific book graded i just find the book in the grade i want and buy it. like 3% of my collection is graded books fuc that

So if I have a comic that’s signed and I was to send it in to CGC they won’t grade it?

[delbomb]

Kinda funny they differentiate between something that would ruin the story. Slabbing it in an impenetrable sealed case definitely interferes with the story

[ComiccollectorGamer]

I have 10 slabs in my collection and only two of them are below a 9.0 I have a 8.0 and a 5.5

Good video but I disagree with your definition of conserved versus restored. Simply put, conserved is the removal of material and restored is the addition of material.

beautiful vid bro doing great work I really enjoyed it

[instawarp]

Nice video dude, clear explanations and nice examples. More!! :)

[IbanezLover]

Curious about how much it costs to grade them 🤔

[jojoscomics]

Thanks for the tip. I have a Spawn #1 red label and was going to send it in to get regraded. LOL

[AcrossDaGalaxy]

Good job man, yea very informative and organized. I think you could really benefit from some better lighting though. Seems a little dark in your room

[TheMusicforeal]

I have new mutants #1 is in the bag original and never opened

[joemob]

Nice video. I've enjoyed your videos on comics to invest in for 2017 and 2018. But have you done a video on how comics are graded by cgc? Or what damage to look for before sending a comic to be graded?

[mikesmith-yxxb]

What do you do for a signature?
What happens if they sign the plastic?
Does that count?
I rather have that then have them ruin the comic with their signature,
Some people may not mind but I do.
No way would I have the artist sign my first Superman appearance comic book.
If he were still alive that is.

[Comiccollector]

If I ever submit comics I’d Go with PGX it’s much cheaper then CGC is

Hi really informative vid I have the original 4 part series of deadpool x 2 in mint condition I’m in the UK where and how would I get them certified and would it be worth me doing it?

[juliusulit]
