Nice results - you must have a very good grasp on what CGC rules consider a 9.8. As to your turnaround time... interesting... with that turnaround time, with that many books, simple conclusion - CGC now has virtually no back log for modern books. Perhaps submissions have dropped off due to the economy, or comic price declines (or the two most recent scandals and people are waiting for the improved slab?). Anyway, best of luck selling through the stack, I'm sure they'll go quickly - nice job!
@MintHunterComics I bought a copy of the pro at a con where Amanda conner was. I had never read the pro and when she signed it she was like, "Ahhh, the pro".
Congratulations on Your grades. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️
Great to see so many DC books. Plus you're making me a bit nostalgic. That "Hush" run was published about the time I started reading and collecting. (Didn't start until I was about 49.) I had to give away so many books from my collection when I moved from Richmond, VA. ( think I gave seven long boxes to a dealer. I just had no time to look up values.) I'm surprised to see quite a few of them appreciated. Oh, well... That probably happens to most collectors. You lose or give away a book and it becomes valuable. Congrats again on the baby.
Im kind of jealous of the amount of Wolverine series youve come across. Im still working towards a complete vol 2 run. Once completed, I will read it straight through.
I dropped off 6 books to get the blue label & 1 book with 3x witnessed signatures (getting Megacon yellow label) with CGC on the last day of Megacon and my blue label books are done and mailed to me in less than a week. I have to go pick them up at the FedEx warehouse since the driver claims no one was home to sign even though I was home all day. I haven’t looked at the grades yet because I want it to be a surprise when I open the box and see everything for the first time graded.
I usually feel better when I;m at 65% or better on prescreens. Some people I've talked to are saying they've found that recently CGC is being a lot more lenient on 9.8s, of course that could vary very much grader to grader.
December was very slow but now it's really rolling. I submitted two 25 issue submissions and an eleven issue submission. The two 25s are press and grade, the eleven was just grade. The eleven was back in about two weeks (all 9.8s!). The others are out of press and scheduled for grade. I expect it to be done and back in a couple of weeks.
Forgive my dumb question, but how do I buy stuff on your claim sales? I see them going on on Facebook but I don’t understand how you go about claiming things. I’d love to get in on the action. You have very fair pricing. Thanks in advance.
Depends on the value. They offer discounts if you get some of their memberships. My submission i did for my first submission to them cost me almost $19 per comic, plus what shipping would cost me. If you send really old books or really high value books, it costs more.
If you get their premium membership, you get a credit that is equal to the cost of the membership for your first submission. It costs $150. So just send them like 10 comics or so to make it worth it. Premium gets a 10% discount and Elite membership gets a 20% discount. I would grade now while costs are low. During busy times when the market is going crazy, the costs go up and the turnaround time you wait is way longer.
Batman 579. INITIAL orders of 50k. There are TONS of these out there. It was still a top 20 book into 2001 and a top 30 book into 2002. Then, well, a gent named Jim Lee came along....
makes you wonder about your older submissions and if they might have been involved in there little scandal involving an employee or whatever about 6 months ago..
turnaround times are insane right now. my first ever submission arrived at CGC on January 30th and FedEx dropped them off at my house today. it was only 3 books but I’m not complaining about an 11 day turnaround.
Archaeological ages reflect when humans actually used those metals for tools and weapons (bronze = smelting of copper + tin. Copper used on its own much earlier). Comic collection ranks ages chronologically in descending order of preciousness or value of the metals (platinum traditionally being more valuable than gold, though not for a few years).
I went pretty mainstream with my choices on this one so I’m surprised to see you surprised! Haha. I don’t submit books below the $80 minimum and everything here is $80 - $500
It's shocking how fast FMVs fluctuate these days. You have to be very selective on what you send in for grading and hope the value remains stable whike waiting for it to come back. Nice score on that Hulk for sure. Should peak when the Thunderbolts movie comes out.
I returned to collecting about a year ago. Many prices seemed totally bonkers. I was also surprised to see how much movies seemed to affect prices of books.
Too bad, there are some good ones in the bunch. Only buying cbcs slabs now. Cgc needs some major improvements before I’ll buy again (quality control, new cases, etc). Interesting how almost all are 9.8….seems like they are being more generous, I wonder why…😮😅
The Marvels seemed like the trustedt representation of a Marnvel comic book IMHO. Think about the agenda pushed period what happened to the white woman? 🔥 Arranged marriage with an asian male What happened to the black woman?? 🔥 Exiled What happened to the Latin female? 🔥 She was brought into the fold Looking... ... imported
Two things 1) I use all grading companies. Not just CGC. For years 2) This is literally my livelihood. I cannot afford to discontinue all grading with CGC
I also am sick of the mob mentality stuff. It’s good to hold companies accountable and it’s another to do a massive witch hunt and try to shut down an organization that messed up and is trying to do right
@@MintHunterComics That's a very mature attitude. They really do seem to be trying to make things right. Considering how valuable some of those books are, I'm surprised theft and "switcheroo" scams don't happen more often. It's completely understandable you would get many of your books graded by CGC. Like it or not, you can get more money for CGC slabs.

It's simple! If I find a SINGLE flaw - I don't send it in
When you said the crow I thought you said the pro and started laughing
Hey the Pro is amazing!

Even I have to admit having those iconic Wolverine images by Byrne and Lee next to each other is pretty cool.
Oh YEAH!

Wow! I could never afford to send that many books at once. Congrats bud!
It's not cheap

It's honestly been ridiculous. And it's always like 9.6 and 9.8 candidates. So insane

I have a bunch of batman 600-700 wird but true. Off the top of your head is there any keys in between there?
Nevermind you kinda went through a few lol

I think its actually pretty standardized - I've had about the same success rate on all my recent submissions - right about 70 percent or so
December was very slow but now it's really rolling. I submitted two 25 issue submissions and an eleven issue submission. The two 25s are press and grade, the eleven was just grade.

It's picking up again

It's just live style videos every Sunday! claim whatever you want from the wall and I invoice you after the show!
What does a modern comic cost to be graded and sealed with CGC?
Depends on the value. They offer discounts if you get some of their memberships. My submission i did for my first submission to them cost me almost $19 per comic, plus what shipping would cost me. If you send really old books or really high value books, it costs more.
@@JTMaster thanks.

Do you think that doing free shipping on eBay has given you more positive results? I’ve thought about it, but never made the switch…
Yes

Is the Deathlok 1 for sale?
Message me on my instagram! and yes!
makes you wonder about your older submissions and if they might have been involved in there little scandal involving an employee or whatever about 6 months ago..
I do sometimes wonder!
James do you have CGC doing your pressing?
RARELY
turnaround times are insane right now. my first ever submission arrived at CGC on January 30th and FedEx dropped them off at my house today. it was only 3 books but I’m not complaining about an 11 day turnaround.
They are! and then some others sit forever lol
I sent like 50 books out for pressing. Can't wait for that fast shipping.
Good luck!
So are you why my 10 books didn’t get back to me for almost 3 months?
Trust me - I have submissions even much older than that!
Are you gonna continue to have CGC grade comics or are you gonna switch to CBCS?
A mix of both
Oooo Batman… if only I wasn’t so financially unstable at the current moment😭😭
Were they Fast Track or regular submissions?
Regular!
@@MintHunterComics Impressive
I submitted comics back in Dec. They were received at CGC on 12/10. I just got them back today.
Not bad!
In archeology copper age came before the bronze age. Why in comics is it the other way around?
Archaeological ages reflect when humans actually used those metals for tools and weapons (bronze = smelting of copper + tin. Copper used on its own much earlier). Comic collection ranks ages chronologically in descending order of preciousness or value of the metals (platinum traditionally being more valuable than gold, though not for a few years).
Ohhhhhh
so, moderns are Lead? @@odinson777
Not sure I agree with some of your submission choices but if you have buyers more power to ya. Your CGC bill must be insane!
Why would you agree or disagree with HIS submissions. Those are his books not yours. Lol

@@Sudar2424 bc he is trying to make money. Submitting the wrong books can make that much harder.
@MintHunterComics I guess it's some of the DC and filler stuff but you did have plenty of good stuff too. As long as it's selling go for it!
@@eggplantcomics8336totally agree - he’s a flipper so he needs to have desirable books. Just because a book is a 9.8 doesn’t mean people will want it
Got an order at cgc now. Including an xmen 133, fingers crossed that 9.8
Good luck!

Well they’re all 9.8 because I pre-screened for a 9.8 😂😂😂 there were 40 comics that didn’t get graded
Hellblazer is one of the most consistently excellent titles in DC's history.
VERY true
I will always be grateful to DC for "Vertigo." They published some great books under that label.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have wolverine 27 on a tie
nice!
