Definitely with you on the Man Mountain Marko and Medusa covers--the simplicity of having just the characters against the white background makes them pop. Sometimes less really is more!
⚡💥🎉 Cgc has been in business long enough to know that they should implement an "opt out" on slabbing a book that has any issues of restoration in the submission form for the client to check whether it's ok or not to slab it if restoration ist detected. Those 9.0's are purdy!
My 2.0 Planet 70 looks exactly the same. I have often thought of cracking it and cleaning and pressing it but I believe it would only raise it to 2.5. thanks for the haul. Glad you got your books back. Sending some in on Saturday to get in before the price increase.
Its a tough call, but for me it wasn't about the grade bump, I just knew all the dirt and grime on the book wasn't good for it, and it dulled the appearance. To me, it was totally worth having a professional take care of the book.
All bangers! Marvel Spotlight takes the top spot but followed closely by Amazing Spider-Man and Planet Comics. It is unfortunate on the first Black Widow but still a nice book. Thanks for sharing, Rob! #OnlySlabs
As much as I don’t mind a purple label on the right book, can’t look away from that spidey. Out of curiosity, will the Cgc price increase effect how you collect in rh upcoming year ?
I got your box last Monday.Thank you so much for sending the give away price to me.Thank you so much I appreciate that
Thanks for the support!
Great books Rob thanks for sharing them - the Planet Comics book looks terrific
That’s a beauty for sure.

Exactly, they are simple yet elegant. Romita Sr. was truly one of the GOATs
That Golden Age book is lovely and bright! Well done on the others, well apart from one, I'm sure you will get it sorted!
A cleaning did wonders.

Now that would be awesome. I would gladly have an opt out, similar to prescreen, to avoid slabbing restored books I didn't know were restored.
@Robs.fatstax common sense is a flower that does not grow in everyone's garden. 💥

I am doing the same Cap run that you are doing. So funny. Yes the prices on them are extremely affordable. Some great covers.
It's fun to collect vintage books on the cheap, right?
@@Robs.fatstax Yes.Almost the same situation with the 15 cent Hulks.
Captain America,of course, is my favorite. 👌👍🏻👀👀👀💥💥💥💥💥
#SLABFEVER2025 is in full effect, Bay Bay! #onlyslabs
appreciate the support sir.
Great upgrades! Sorry to hear about the purple label. hopefully you are able to upgrade or sell it. Thanks for sharing your CGC haul!
It happens, but it's a bummer! I will upgrade it at some point. I'm glad you enjoyed the haul.
Great grades on your new slabs!
On the purple one, magnified and black light, I think?
I am going to have to grab one and take a look.
That planet comics cover is just a thing of beauty!
One of my favorite covers from the run, and there are some great covers in that series.
Some great books and grades.
Thank you kindly, much appreciated.
Great books! Awesome!! I’m very hesitant as I have 50 vintage to send but don’t know if I want them gone for months!
I feel you, but sometimes you just have to bit the bullet. Though with the new pricing, I think there are more vintage books I wont slab than before.
“ White freaky pages!” 😂
Freaky Deaky pages.
My word that Man Mountain Marko is clean. Stunning book. A shame about the purple label but I guess it will do whilst you hunt another copy
I am ecstatic to have my second 9.0 Silver Age ASM, and I submitted both.
All are cool books but the Planet comics stands out...stay safe Rob!
Planet Comics is always a win, cheers!

I am not entirely sure, my hunch is I will send less books in and buy more keys that already graded.
Normally I'd pick ASM, but I'm digging the Planet Comics.
Be careful, we don't want you to fall down an expensive rabbit hole.
What book are you going to trade with on the wall?😅
First Werewolf by night for me.
Its a great book!
Low # ASM 9.0….. nice!
This one is great, but my 9.0 ASM55 is my favorite.
@ 55 and 40 are my favorite ASM covers of all time
just gob smacking slabs
Thank you for watching.
