[cgcgraded]

Anyone interested in talking comics? Trends in the market.... Conventions.... Grades.... Third party grading companies.... Individual books from all ages....

I'm interested to hear from others with similar interests, so don't be shy!

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your opinion. I'm still pretty happy with the values you placed on them. I remember paying only $2.00 for the entire box. I'll go through the rest of the box in the next couple of days and keep you updated.

Thanks again, I appreciate your opinion.

2.0 and 3.0 respectivly

[cgcgraded]

I guess that means we agree Paul.
Hope we didn't get your hopes up to high Nora. Still its a great find! It might not be worthwhile getting them professionally graded and slabbed however because of the cost to do so.
You can check out cgccomics.com for further info.

Hey Andrew!

I wish I could! You know more than I'll ever know about comics and grading. I went through most of the box and found a few more that are selling for a fair amount...but then there's that grading system I know nothing about. I'll have to scan them for your opinion. Some seem to be in much better condition then the other two.

Hey Nora, If anything of great value appears from that box, you may find you will have quite a few new neighbours..... Any houses for sale on your street?
By the way I am also a long lost relative!;-)

Hello Paul,

I'm located just outside of Windsor.

Hey Uncle Buck ;-)!! So far none are worth a whole lot, but I'm still pretty happy with my $2.00 investment. I'm going through the last of them now...I'll keep you informed.

Anyone attending the Wizard World Chicago convention in August? I'm thinking about going. Anybody want to talk me out of it?

[cgcgraded]

Just visiting. I have been to some smaller ones, but never to one of this size.

A friend of mine finally got a stall across from Harley Yee at San Diego in July.

[cgcgraded]

Sounds great! I'll scan them sometime today and email them for your opinion.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

This may be a bit off topic (although it does involve comics)... does anyone ever feel "guilty" about scoring super crazy deals at garage sales/etc? I was talking to a fellow garage saler this weekend who said his son (age 😎 bought a box of comics from an elderly couple a few months ago for $1 (that's right, $1 for the lot). After looking through the comics, the father realized they had stumbled upon a gold mine (early superman/spider-man editions + many others all in mint condition) & made his son return the comics so that the elderly couple could explore the true value. He just saw the lady last week at a supermarket & it turns out they sold them to a collector for $11,000.00 (that would have been 1.1 million percent markup)... sigh! I sure thought it was interesting that he made his son return the comics instead of capitalizing on the amazing deal... Is it too greedy to make that much money off someone's unawareness of a item's value? Isn't that how a lot of us make a profit (buy things cheap & resell them for more)? Is there a limit to what's okay? Anwyay, it sure prompted some interesting discussion between my wife & I over the weekend about what we would do in a similar situation (didn't really come to any conclusions)! Any thoughts out there on the topic?
