| @xkonk agreed. It don’t make sense. Until I read @Travis comment, that maybe more people might collect cgc only. As for grading, they both seem to be equal. A 9.8 with cgc would get a 9.8 with CBCS. I’ve actually bought a few CBCS graded books done by peach Momoko, and sent them into cgc for her signing, and they came back 9.8 SS. Then again, maybe it’s because CGC was the pioneer? |

| @multi007 "...maybe it’s because CGC was the pioneer?" Bingo! This is the real reason for the disparity. |

| The oily flavor is why I use them sometimes. I feel like it adds value. | ||

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| I dropped of my last submission at a con on December 3rd, and it showed up as received about 3 working days later. The date on the invoice was the 3rd, the actual drop-off date, not the entered date. | ||

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| @MutantMania it’s a risk…. At least eBay has some protections. MCS has more protections. | ||

| @MutantMania depends what your goal is. You can send in a bunch to MCS and put them on their auction. Or set a buy it now price with them and see how it goes, and if they don’t sell right away, lower the price as the months tick by little by little. Another option not mentioned, but you get the lowest prices though… put out your list of books for a “buy it all for one price”. The offers will be low balls, or they’ll only be interested in the higher value books. If you have 10k books, I’d probably start by sending them in to MCS and put them up on their auctions. Get rid of the bigger ones first. |
