| Hi Everyone, I have 2 books I am debating to sending to CBCS with VSP, I have COA for signature on both and witnessed both being signed so know legit. I am having hard time deciding to send or just frame them and frame COA and put on wall. I will never be reading them or removing from Frame if it helps. What would you do? Send to CBCS with VSP or Just Frame and Put on Wall? I am thinking long long term. Thanks! |

| @hitmantyler What do you intend to do with the books? If they were mine and I simply wanted to display them, I would not go to the bother and expense of having them VSP'd and graded. I would just make sure to display them in a manner that protects them well and enjoy them. But that's just me.  |

| Living rooms are bright, I might forgo slabbing and red labels for something with some sort of UV protection/filter/etc.. I don't mind red labels for my collection, but they don't look great for displaying. https://www.dynamiccomicdisplays.com/economy-comic-holders has UV filtering/archival plastic fronts. You could use those, but I don't like putting raw comics in a well like this. THey have graded options as well. And I swear they had a spawn one at one point (not seeing it now). It's adding a lot of cost, when I know there are cheaper options around. | ||

Also it's combo frame so holds both sides by side with a little gap between. I will leave in Bag and Board which are also Acid-Free boards when framing them. |

| Taking a high res scan of a cover and framing that on a wall while the book is protected in a cool, dark, dry space is the way I'd go. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC the way I kinda look at it as now correct me if I am wrong, grading can be cheaper as value of book is low but years from now when increases in value can be more to have graded? I am thinking long term investment/display.. I am also kind afraid since so limited and signed afraid of sending.. |

| 50 should fine (but DAMN lol), as long as it isn't a damp 50 (ie cooling a home by a "swamp cooler", open window). | ||

| I would likely have used comic skins as they offer UV protective slabs, display hardware and frames. Looks nice, though! |
