<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 454061, member: 15518&quot;]I&#039;ve collected old comicbooks for many years... so what happened a few years ago? Someone got the bright idea that they would grade and slab comicbooks like they do coins and sports cards. So CGC (Comics Guarantee Corp.) was born. Unlike coins and cards, comicbooks have an <i>interior. </i>Now you buy your books in a slab so you can&#039;t open the book and read it, but you get to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a book that would be 1/100 of the price of the same book &quot;raw&quot;. They have a ten point grading system which is really a 100 point system since grades are given in tenths (i.e., 8.6). So.... buy a book for a few bucks off the rack, submit for grading, hope for a perfect 10, and if you get it... well, sell it on eBay for a few thousand dollars. I hate it. I can&#039;t understand the frenzied desire for perfection. I like my books like my coins... well worn and able to handle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
