| Good morning I have a complete set of 1980's Moon knight comics. My question is would the whole set sell for more than selling one by one? I have two # ones so I could sell that one and save the set. I have a total of 103 books that my youngest son and I collected back when he was in high school. Thank for your help Mr toasty |

| welcome to the forum! I would say No. The bulk sale of books would not sell for more if all books were sold separately. Buyers would expect a reduced price based on purchasing more books. |

| No. As @GAC pointed out a bulk sale would not be for more than individual sales. The flip side is that individual sales can be a lot of work (pictures, listings, dealing with occasionally unpleasant or dishonest buyers) that seems hardly worth it for books of low value. | ||

| I know the answer to this question, do the grades from here get the same attention as cgc? I think they are a little uppity if you know what I mean. I Have a lot of comics that need graded and cheaper is better. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by mrtoasty Not always, but the cgc grades are inflated. You're paying for a 9.8 label, typically a banana slab, and probably not a 9.8 book. This is just my opinion and I have come to realize that as much as I loathe the cgc, they still have the occasional use. |

@mrtoasty you're among friends here that will occasionally bust your b@11s  And I agree that selling individual issues will be more profitable. CBCS is better and more accurate in grading, and I would recommend consigning with MCS or trying to sell here or on Facebook in comic groups. Those folks understand that CBCS is just as good if not better, and you'll have a better chance of getting FMV on it. Welcome to the forum! |

| CBCS definitely has a better slab. It's a work of art. Crystal clear, holds the comic straight and flat, yet solid as a (plastic) rock. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by mrtoasty if you have a number in mind, I would like to hear it. Feel free to PM me. There are two series from my childhood I would like to have again, Dazzler and Moon Knight. My Mom got subscriptions for these for me when I was little, and it was these two in particular cause it was something offered from her job. I was aware of neither character at the time she ordered them (Batman and X-Men were my jam). She just got them for me cause she knew I liked comic books. Some books where lost in moves and shuffles as I was little, I don't have ANY of the books from these two sets from back then...id like to have them again. The only book I have picked up is the error edition of Dazzler #1. |

| You must have been unlucky. Ive been dealing with CBCS since day one and I haven't had problems with my outer cases. I've had two or three with some minor scuffing, but nothing a good wipe down with Novus plastic polish didn't fix. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson You are one of the lucky ones I guess and I hope you don't have to go through it either. The issues appear to be inside the case too so a wipe down would not help anyways. The ones with the scratches run down perfectly front and back almost as if a paint brush was going down them. Many cloudy cases as well. They had apparently reslabbed them but when they shipped them back, several still had palmprints inside and fingerprints as if the people handling them weren't wearing gloves. Some came back with the tops cracked badly (only a few thanksfully) due to poor packaging. My buyers have taken notice too and complained and I have and to explain to them as well, thankfully they have all been understanding about it but it has affected resale value. The white circles I believ are caused by the pressure because they tend to take a stack of books and wrap them extremely tight with large bubblewrap and these cirular impressions appear on the books on the outsides of the stack. The impressions in the slab are the same size as the bubbles on the bubblewrap. |

| Every one of my CBCS slabs are crystal clear...maybe an odd scuff here and there that's only visible when tilted in the light at a certain angle. By far the best slabs on the market....it's really not even close. |

| .... speaking as someone who just received back two books from CGC that I consider(ed) "keepsakes"; they effin bent both damn books and effed the books themselves. The damn books they destroyed. Yea it says 9.8 on my labels, but even someone who's blind can see that the encapsulation effed up the book, bent it, and now it's a 0.0 grade. (yes, that's the flames shooting out of my head talking) My CBCS books received have been flawless for the 7/8 years I've been submitting. It's unfortunate when a slab case happens like this and would aggravate me to no end, but when you see what that other company ROUTINELY does; (i.e. not occasional eff-ups) then the fury is nuclear level with those Clarabelles in Sarasota. |
