I'm putting together some books for SDCC. I've been wanting to get this Catwoman 51 signed for awhile. I know it won't make 9.8. But, I hope it could eek out a 9.4. Would appreciate everyone's thoughts. I see a spine stress, a spine tick, some chipping on the bottom right, and buggered up bottom left corner.  Overall  Buggered corner  Spine stress example with tick  Chipping Thanks in advance for the help. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| It's still a $100 book so I'd get it signed imo I have some 8.5 J Scott Campbell's but still got them signed because I wanted the yellow label and they are newsstand editions. Do what you want, not what others want. Are you gonna keep it? |

| @kaptainmyke - yeah, I don't flip my books. Although, who knows what I'll do 5 years. But I still don't like putting more money into a book than its worth. I think it has good overall eye appeal, but that corner is just gross. | ||

| Get it signed, Adam Hughes does a good job of putting his signature in spots that don't detract from the look of the cover. I'm sending my Zatanna #16 to Trinity for a AH signature when I get home. | ||

I passed thinking I would grab it another time, then the demand on that book just exploded. I have the other Hughes Zatanna books, but 16 is out of my comfort zone at this point. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Themaxx35 Ouch, definitely should have picked it up for $30, by far my favorite AH cover. I keep it on my "followed searches" on ebay just in case a nice copy shows up for a good price. Damn red cover shows EVERY defect so finding a NM is pretty difficult  I got mine with a $45 best offer and it looks to be NM but I won't know till I see it. |

| I've got it on my ebay followed books but I haven't pulled the trigger on it. Not quite as prestigious but I have a full set of Adam Hughes Tomb Raider covers that I'm slowly working on getting aigned and slabbed. |

| Don't sign. Leave as is and sell down the road on ebay for a good amount. All raw books HTF seem to garner better profit than if you signed and slabbed. Meaning a actual 9.2/9.4 has a better chance of selling and faster than the same HTF 9.6 slabbed. Ebay laws of comics... people gobble them up. BTW what ever happened to Maxx and Pitt? |

Quote:Originally Posted by verbogyrater Yup - that's was exactly my thought. Even though I don't sell books, I assume that one day I'll have to do a clean out. A raw book always seems to have potential to a would-be buyer, where as a graded NM- or VF/NM is what it is. |

| Unsigned sell faster than signed because asking prices tend towards lower and people tend towards being cheap. That doesn't correlate to signed equals decreased value. | ||
