most all modern books are not worth getting graded unless you want to throw your money out the window.
-
99% of books aren't worth grading.
-
"Everyone has it" says it all. And, everyone wanted to sell it at it's peak. All these 9.8 modern books have turned the industry into a day-trading market, just like stocks. Extremely volatile and risky. Gold and Silver age are much safer bets for graded books.
-
The problem with modern books is that they are relatively new, relatively available, and lots of collectors have them. They may be worth considerably more somewhere down the road. The newer books don't have the momentum of history behind them like the older silver/bronze age stuff. The older stuff will still probably be the better investment, providing that you don't pay immense amounts for it. But that of course is the challenge.
-
Laziness and procrastination prevented me from sending off some books to get graded. Looks like that saved me some money.
-
The "modern" books (and we all know what that means) will never be collectible...
-
Grading modern books is stupid.
-
This is why I like to sell more rare slabs so that there is no set market price and I get to set it to whatever I want it. You will be surprised at some of the prices I sell slabs for.
-
I think people are realizing that slapping a hunk of plastic worth X (raw) is not worth 3 times X.
-
Really enjoy your channel. It’s refreshing to see content that isn’t ultimately designed to sell books. I can think of a few channels that present videos with interesting subjects, but then just end up being 15 minute advertisements
-
I'm just trying to figure out how you're paying $2.50 a book for shipping.
-
For me, grading is often about slabbing a nostalgic book to just protect it.
-
The Rat Queens run was super hyped when it was coming out. Issue 1, print 1 spiked around $45 for the raw. Catch it on Ebay south of $10 now.

I don’t know a lot about modern so I learn a lot from your videos. I’m not surprised that slabbed books are doing poorly but raw books are doing well. I recognize that some collectors like slabs. Personally I’m not a fan. Speculators love them. With the market on a downturn, fewer speculators mean the true comic lovers are the ones buying the books… and maybe some people who want to grade them and hold onto them until market conditions change. Personally I love my books raw.

Oh man, I have bought SEVERAL personal grails in the last couple of weeks thanks to comics losing value and for that i am very grateful. I understand that as a job, this sucks but for people that only buy comics as a hobby? WIN fucking WIN!!
-
$2.50 shipping is really generous
-
ANY first appearance of a new character by DC. Clown Hunter, Molly, Wonder Girl, Lair Lair, Red Canary, Angel Breaker, and Trinity will likely be the same. And I think it's because these characters are used for a quick hype boost and with in a year they are used very little other that a sporadic appearance here and there. Now, it one of them become a titular villian causing a massive crisis like Superboy Prime, that might turn around. But probably unlikely.

Amazing spiderman 361 is a book I love but has fallen a ton in the last few years
-
It’s the economy, this is a buyers market
-
8 Billion Genies; 1, 2, and 3. It broke my heart. And I wasn't even trying to sell them.
