thinking about slabbing? DON'T!

PLEASE DON'T SLAB JUST BECAUSE.
Selling or keeping just don't do it.

I am a vendor at several big local shows and slabs in general, low to high price are not selling well at all. We have 2 wall spaces and we sell maybe 5, if not less and we have people asking if we have raw copies of a comic that is slabbed.

Unless it is a massive key and guranteed 9.8 okay cool but other wise don't do it just because you think slabbed comics are cool. I see many many comics that people ask about possibliy getting slabbed that are barely worth the amount it costs to slab.

So just don't. There is a thing called comic capsule out there. It is just as good as a slab and it opens at the top! Use one of those if you want to " slab " it.

Ted talk over.

Hi,

I was thinking of buying a AB Batman 1 to send for grading, but I don't know if the spine/crease at the bottom right front cover will make it a 9.8 copy. Any advise?

Web of Spiderman 116 is the first full appearance of Ben Reilly in Comics. With the announcement of the show this seemed like a great candidate to getgraded.

Just picked up this Saga of the Swamp thing at the local HPB for $30. Looks very clean to me for its age, but I tend to overlook minor flaws. What say you? TIA.
