Thanks!

Thanks for watching! It would go to the highest tier. If you don't value it high enough cgc will make sure to bump it up and charge the % of value

thank you!

You got it !

Thanks for watching, and the kind words 🙏

Hey! If they are modern and under $400 in CGC 9.8 (check ebay sold listings), just put $400 (max) as it costs you nothing more.. If they are older, just do your best with the same method. If you didn't put enough value, don't worry CGC will just upcharge you. One drawback is you're only insured to the price YOU set.

Ugh, sorry to hear that !

@@NoCoastComicsI got a little plunger 🪠 and it actually reduced the rings substantially. Still a bit but much better.

Hey Jason, oh awesome! Thanks for checking out my channel. I got pulled away from making KZfaq videos for awhile but I really appreciate your comment. Do you remember if we chatted at all at the show ? Had a great time that year for sure

@@NoCoastComics I don’t believe we have formally met. We probably have several mutual acquaintances. When I was living in Iowa, my local store was Mayhem. I have known those folks since they opened in Ames back in 1993. Ames was my primary store until 2014 when I moved to the Des Moines area and started using the Clive store.

Very welcome - sorry it's somewhat outdated but a lot of good content still here. Yes, if CGC determines it's worth enough to bump up the tier (and associated cost), they will do so and charge your credit card more before it ships. I've had it happen a couple times.

Thanks for watching! Antique malls are a great place to find things like these. Just happened to luck out on the Spider-man one. Also Hobby Lobby carried lots of things like these from time to time

😄 never tried it

Right ?

Rough for sure

Yeah wasn't over the moon 😄

Let me know how it goes when you get them back!

Hey Ethan, thanks for watching👍 It's hard to say - most comics in a bag and board are not technically an "original protective sleeve" as some assume, however some in the 90s did come in a polybag. I'd recommend searching ebay sold listings for the books in question to get an idea of value. Add "cgc 9.8" to see the hypothetical high end of what they might bring. If it's more for sentimental value, then of course that doesn't really matter as much. All the best!

I believe they have a lot of sales. And if you place an order, then wait a few months, you'll probably get a similar offer sent to you. All the best!

Hey Chris, as for the new slabs, you can choose the reholder service on the form. It's very slightly cheaper than sending in for regular grading. www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc-grading/ On international, I don't have any experience with this but I believe CGC has offices in Europe. I'll need to do some more research on that though. Thanks for watching !

Seems like CGC should grade the quality of their work and not just the quality of the comic. If they did then newton rings wouldn't exist and we would have to pay them to fix their fuck ups. Now I feel like I'm being swindled by CGC.

I hear you, Scott. Fortunately, with the $149 tier you get $150 in grading credit - so it is effectively free as long as you send in at least $150 worth of grading yearly to use that credit! That's why I call that tier a "no brainer" for most slab collectors. I need to update this video soon now that some changes have been put in place. Thanks for watching!

What a great compliment- but now I'm sad remembering Phil. An incredible talent

I believe CGC offers a page encapsulation service, labeled with a "PG" or "NG" designation in place of the grade. I'd contact their customer service via phone for more info about that.

Hey Eric, thanks for watching. I want to say it was roughly $100 or so but can't recall for sure. It's been a little while.

Hey UnPack - thanks for watching. Be sure to check out our video for the complete Step By Step Walkthrough on How To Submit Your Graded Comics and let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks Bronzeville! Usually some of each - sell the ones to afford the ones I want to keep!

Thanks for watching, John. Everyone's always welcome to share their opinions. There are certainly some collectors who focus more on condition, subject matter, and cover art, while there are some who most purely love the hobby for the stories... and many relate to both aspects. Everyone is welcome here. All the best! - Jeremy

Signed comics are tricky. Since the signature was not witnessed by CGC you would get a green Qualified label. There should be an official cgc video about the different label types, but I can make one soon as well. I personally would not send a book like that in, but there are pros and cons.

@@NoCoastComics i appreciate that. Should I find a professional about signatures and stuff? I mean, I also have a Mr. Marvel Stan Lee card signed by the man, himself. So should I also wait on that too? You’re awesome with the quick replies I might add.

For the comic, you can look into sending to CBCS if you really want it "certified", as they offered a different type of verified signature program, but I've never used it. In order to get a CGC yellow signature series label, they HAVE to witness the signature. I unfortunately don't have experience with card signatures like that. Hope that helps

@@NoCoastComics it’s all good! I’ll look into that too! Thanks!

If you'd be happy with a $3,000 insurance payout if something happened, you could shoot for express. If CGC determines its worth more and bumps it to Walk-through, they will charge you an additional amount as an adjustment. BUT if you submit Walk-through and it's worth under $3k (express tier worthy) they won't bump it down. Sounds like a very nice book! I only have a 4.0 ff 48

@@NoCoastComics thanks. I guess the other piece is if it goes missing lost or damaged before it's graded and insured. That's a whole nother ball of wax insurance right?

Make sure to ship TO CGC fully insured as well if you're worried. I've not had to deal with that end of things though. The only time there was a big issue, a book was damaged while in the case coming back to me (long story) and CGC pressed it to fix the issue, and paid shipping both ways.

@@NoCoastComics ok thanks for the good information.

Exactly - lots of ways to look at it. Thanks for watching!

Definitely a tough call. I would send in a small batch to see how the grades come back and decide from there. I recommend searching ebay sold listings - enter in the book and CGC 9.8 to see what they've sold for recently. You can also use GoCollect or GPAnalysis to track sales.

Thanks for watching !

Hey Jordan, thanks for watching. I need to make a new version of this video but most of still relevant. As for the questions: 1. CGC will automatically use any credit you have when they recieve the books and verify them in system. Then it goes to billing. They do this to ensure you're charged correctly, and that they've revieved the books first. At that time they'll use your credit. You can always write a note on the packing slip for billing to use your account credit first, but it's done by default. 2. There's a checkbox in your account management to either auto renew or not. You save like $20 a year still I think on the middle tier if you auto renew. 👍

I appreciate your time and response. I'm going to have to send in a handful of my prized comics I have in my collection.

Oh no! 😱 I haven't sent in any submissions for a little while, but this definitely makes me want to hold off a little longer. For what it's worth, CGC will reholder it for free with their Mechanical Error process and they pay shipping both ways. Hopefully it would be fixed the 2nd time.

Hey Tyler, thanks for watching. I hear you! That can be frustrating. I agree quality control seems lacking at times with as many collectibles as they grade. Hard to understand how things like that happen. To their credit, CGC has always made things right when they've messed up. Just have to reach out to customer service or use their Mechanical Error resubmission process. They even pay for shipping both ways to fix the problem. Maybe I should make a video about that, too. All the best!

Thanks for watching! You might consider looking into CBCS's verified signature program. I might go that route since CGC would give it a Green label, since it's unwitnesed. Just my 2 cents

Thanks so much!

Thanks Tommy! More very soon!

Thanks for watching, Ryan! A wide variety of places - word of mouth, friends, ads, website, social media. The more people that know you buy comics, the more opportunities that will pop up. It's a lot of work, but occasionally, something great comes along. All the best!

Thanks Kary!

Thanks, I'm happy with them too!

Appreciate it! 👊

Thanks so much. I can't wait to tell you all about it (soon)!

Sure do - great book to hold onto I think. I may let one go this year... but undecided

@@NoCoastComics you be interested in selling it?

@@jims420 not at the moment but will try to keep you in mind if I do. All the best!

@@NoCoastComics thank you! You take care also. Any wolverine comics I'd be interested in. Graded of course

Sure thing - I'll take a look and let you know if I have any other wolverine slabs I can let go of.

Correct! Thanks for watching!

HI David, it still MIGHT be worth it to pay for the higher-end yearly tier just to get the 10% discount if you're sending in a lot of high-end books. I'll follow up on your other comment with more info.

Hey Paul, thanks for watching, and best of luck with your upcoming CGC submission! Do your best to estimate a grade of similar sold CGC listings (ebay sold listings are helpful). Remember, however, that CGC will never move books down into a lower cost tier, but they do and WILL bump books UP into higher value tiers and charge you more, accordingly. When in doubt, you could choose to select a lower value tier. However, also keep in mind that the book will only be protected/insured up to the amount you enter under the value. Hopefully that helps shed some additional light into the process. I totally understand the daunting complexity of it all, especially when starting out assigning grades to books.

Hi Guri, unfortunately the pricing I've noted in this video from 2 years ago is a bit outdated now. Please see the latest pricing updates on CGC's website: www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc-grading/. I've been meaning to make a new version of this video but just need to find the time. The bulk of the methods described are still accurate of course. Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped! Good luck on your submission
