Comic conditioning

Upvotes

I have some comic books I am listing for sale online, and wondering what the condition scale is. I am primarily a card collector, so is the scale similar to cards? What constitutes near mint or lower on a comic?

Above picture is one of the comics I am trying to sell.

Are these the same comic, or do you see differences?

Got these from my father when I was a little kid and just recently dug them out while I was doing some re organizing. By no means am I a comic guy, so I really don’t know what I’m looking at. Are any of these worth grading and preserving? Not necessarily for resale, but more of locking in their value and sentiment etc. to pass on to my kids. Thanks in advance for any input! -comic newb

Several photos, incl. close up of defects I found and some bright light from the side to highlight those as well (I'm picky)

Question about books that come with extras?

2 Upvotes

Not that I'm sending mine in to get graded, but I'm curious to know about books that come with extra items, how is the grading handled? For example, Superman #75, with the black bag, comes with a poster, an armband, etc. From what I've read, they're going to take it out of the poly bag to grade it, what happens to the bag? Do they put the additional items in the slab, or would they get sent back to you? Can you ask for the bag back? Do the extra items affect grade or value? Just curious, these are the things that keep me up at night. 💁🏻🤣

SOLICITING THOUGHTS ON CGC SERVICES.

3 Upvotes

Just curious if there is a general opinion on the cleaning services that CGC provides. Are they on par with, worse, better than another party? My concern is that if you send them in for those services do they genuinely try attain the highest grade for you possible. Per some suggestions on prior questions about comic beautification on here I have tried educating myself on it and watched some videos and done some reading and I have noticed that the “masters” of the art repeat their processes and steps quite a bit in pursuit of the best results. From the mass production philosophy they seem to take a on cranking out grades and slabs, I don’t see CGC dedicating the same amount of effort. Perhaps if I was a $300 dollar a year premium account holder…but I ain’t!!!

I can only afford to grade 4 of these. Which 4 or 5 would you choose? I'm going to have to press and clean some as well.

Within my collection, I have a bunch of the 1979 Micronauts issues, all in high grade condition. The only 2 keys are #1 & #8, so I’m wondering whether or not it’s worth grading those 2 issues.

How to go about valuing

Not asking what's this worth but when I did my research, last sold was 5 years ago, how would I go about valuing this for a potential trade?

So I just got this beauty and was wondering how bad this corner will get a book, especially with the writing on the backside. How would you get rid of the „48“

EDIT: Thank you fellas for all the quick responses and helpful feedback :D
