COMICBASE MYCOMICS MOVIE
I now look at those days, as a golden age, better then how I feel CGC will kill the mid-grade market in the future.Announced upcoming movie and TV prices have been driving up 1st appearances for over a decade now. The advent of bags in the 70’s helped bring down the value of most of the comic value, and market in the days that followed. The arrival of CGC as the whole source of condition of comics, and the practice of slabbing In My Not So Humble Opinion will be the point that will kill the back issue buisness in the coming years. And i pegged the condition of both books. Overstreet was, and still is my comics bible. I’ve been readin comics for over 40 years, and when in my teens & early twenties I was a dealer at comic conventions. The guy with the Green Lantern was upset, he said he wanted to make some money off the book, and the Slabbed Grade ruined the amount he was going to ask for the book. He only wanted to be sure he was not ripped off. He told us he will open it the next time he wants to reread it.
When they both came back, 9the guy with the Green Lantern kept calling us and getting angry when it was not back in 4 weeks.) When the Amazing Fantasy as 2.5 the customer was happy. We told him the condition, but he insisted he wanted CGC’d as well. The other was a copy of Green Lantern (2nd series) #76, in poor-good condition at best. One was a person who bought Amazing Fantays #15 from Mile High, which they told him was in 2.5 condition. In the LCS where I help out on Comics Day, a few months ago we had two customers bring in a comic each to be CGC graded. CGC is even more of a rip off when you consider the plastic shell is NOT made of Mylar and therefore NOT ARCHIVAL. You simply cannot enjoy a book that is SEALED in a hard plastic shell. This preserves the comic but also allows the thing to be read and enjoyed.

And YES it was worth it! I use Mylar Mylite2s for my books along with acid free boards. So I broke that silly seal and cut that inner plastic. For me the whole point of collecting is for the FUN of it and reading and enjoying the art. I HATE The whole concept of “slabbing” a comicbook. And would you believe it’s CGC slabbed? Or I should rephrase it WAS CGC slabbed as I just LIBERATED the comic mere moments ago. Last week I finally found a good deal on a copy in Very Good+ condition. I’ve owned reprints of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian #1 in various forms for years but I always wanted a copy of the real deal. If you are a comics fan at all you should consider donating to the Hero Initiative as many of the legendary artists and writers we all grew up on are now elderly and in poor health with little or no insurance. Even though as a Comicbase user I no longer need to purchase Overtsreet guides for me it was a win-win situation since the money goes for a GREAT cause. So I knew I had to get my hands on one of the 500 limited edition hardcovers. I’ve always been a HUGE Conan fan and a fairly serious reader/collector of Robert E. and Klaus Janson where the pay homage to Barry Smith’s Conan #1 cover from 1970. It features some nice cover art by John Romita Jr.
