Well put. The average person just wishing to invest in a grail would not know it's restored by looking at a book of that age. Way to hold people accountable.

You had honest and willing partners to help get to this point. It's good to know the original seller was such a good guy.

X-MEN #1? I won't mind even if is restored.

As a new collector I thank you for posting stuff like this, I’ve learned alot from your videos so know it’s appreciated keep doing the good work! Cheers!

The rust line to the right could be from having been stored with another comic that had extremely rusty staples on top of it and in a hot environment for a long time. Though the odd texture and the smearing on the inside make it seem more likely to be restored.

Anyone that purchases a graded book should not have to look through the case to see if it was restored .. that’s ridiculous.. I want to thank you for your integrity and sharing your knowledge with those of us in the hobby. PGX has always had a stigma of quality particularly with resto - supposedly they had cleaned up their act but that appears not to be the case. I have never and would never invest in a PGX graded book. If someone gave me one I would crack it and keep it raw or resubmit it to one of the 2 reputable services.. anyway as a dealer and collector you go above and beyond and I would be extremely confident working with you so thanks and know your diligence is appreciated and will serve you well in the future of this hobby.

What a fascinating episode to watch!! Thank you for putting this up and taking the comic out, going through the comic page count. It was very kind to "take charge" of handling this comic and getting its future figured out. Please make sure to update when it comes back.

Bry, just wanna say yours is one of the BEST channels on KZfaq for collectors. I always get excited when I see an upload. Not only do we get to see your perspective as a dealer and some awesome books come thru, but also your enthusiasm as a true lover and collector yourself. Many dealers lose that. It's natural I suppose. I'm a musician and I teach music for the day job and after a while, any passion can lose a bit of it's luster. So, I get it. But you are in an interesting place as a very "passionate" dealer.

I wish more dealers had the integrity you show. We bought a Universal graded Avengers 1 PGX back in the day and were heart broken to find a coupon cut out. We have not touched another one. Lesson learned. Thank you for sharing your experiences both good and bad.

Thanks Brian, that's the first time, in over 45 years of collecting, that I've ever seen the interior of the X-men #1 grail. LOL

I always look forward to the next video you drop. You're videos are one of a kind, in the way that you explain every aspect of collecting, including red flags to watch out for. I've been collecting for about 1 & 1/2 years now (since my childhood) I'm not gony lie, I would have 100% bought that book if i had the mony. Absolutely amazing spot 👌🏻

PGX is leaps and bounds better than they used to be years ago. Cases are way nicer and grades are on par. Even an ex CGC grader is their head grader. Good video but I feel this only applies to very old PGX graded books.

If you look at the first part of the video were you show an upclose there is white crease marks that may mean. The top corner was rolled over and staple was resting on the cover. All comic collectors keep forgetting how many times these old comics were taken to school in backpacks and were piled up on top of each other. Boxes , bags and boards and even collecting comics only been around since what the 70 or 80s. I have been around old collections and alot of vintage comics have shifting pages ,rolled and fold covers .they get pushed normal and flat simply by hand and bag and boarded and then put in a proper box and that almost presses then to a better condition.

Another great video! It’s so helpful to see how easy it was to crack the PGX case. I also really appreciate how you show process of evaluating the book. If you’re going to be in the big dollar comic realm, you really need to be good at catching scams. I’m not comfortable there yet.

super interesting about the centerfold possibly being "married" in your description and getting to see all the pages. My husband grew up collecting comics and got back into it with in the last 2 years and I am learning so much. In turn, I'm actually appreciating his hobby and starting to really like the older comics, like silver and bronze age.

Had this same issue with old cgc slabs, pgx has been better now with catching restoration and their grading scale is about the same as cgc

Great video bry thanks for sharing your knowledge on grading and what to look for

I had a store selling me an Amazing Spider-man #2, which looked very nice condition. Inside the two backing boards, was a CGC purple label. I looked at him, thinking "were you going to tell me about this???" I didn't buy the book and it really made me think twice about books out there.

@kirbycarpenter9775 Жыл бұрын

Bry I cannot believe how easy you cracked open that PGX case. Mind blowing. I have boxes of CGC, CBCS books and I only own one PGX book and it is a modern book.

I have a couple of pgx. I’m gonna have to go through them to make sure they aren’t restored. Hope I’ll be able to catch it if they have been. Thanks for this very informative video
