Nice slabs. I only have one at the moment. I posted it in another thread about CGC around here. It is a 9.8 Justice League International #2

Not a 9.8, but I finally bought this. I always wanted this book. Finally pulled the trigger.

Absolutely beautiful!! I would have done the exact same thing! That should be a jewel in any collection!!

My first CGC graded comic.

AK_Bandit · June 12, 2020, 3:33am

One more arrived today. Wonder Woman 750 by J. Scott Campbell version A.

Kon-El-Prime · June 12, 2020, 4:43am

Bought this earlier this year. It’s the most I will likely ever spend on a comic.

DCRANDALL · June 20, 2020, 12:30am

Can we do CBCS graded books too? Or should that be a separate post?

Kon-El-Prime · June 20, 2020, 12:41am

I don’t see why not. CBCS has standards on par with CGC in my experience. I buy them when there’s a massive price difference. I don’t see paying a premium for CGC every time.

AK_Bandit · June 24, 2020, 6:22am

My matching pair…

Kon-El-Prime · June 24, 2020, 6:23am

I love the old man getting pulled by the ear for gawking!

What’s the best display/storage method for comics not worth getting graded but have sentimental value? For example, I have an autographed copy of Batman/Punisher that has some slight wear to the cover.

The best method for saving your valuable books is to put them in Mylar (made by Gerber) with an archival backing board. They are kinda pricey but you can get them in packs of 50 on Amazon and other online retailers. I recommend the Mylites 2 because they resemble a normal comic book bag with a fold over flap. Make sure and get the right size they have Current (smallest), Standard (which fits some Silver Age), Silver Age and Golden Age (largest for comics). Their “Full Backs” are the best in the business. These archival backing boards are 100% Acid free front and back and are produced with a 3% alkaline buffer to help maintain the proper PH balance while your book is stored. Its best to do a little practice loading them in on a less valuable book first if you’re not used to Mylar.
