Okay, so I’ve been messing around with graded Batman comics lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I thought I’d share my little adventure with y’all, ’cause why not? It all started when I stumbled upon some old Batman comics in my attic. I mean, these things were ancient! I figured they might be worth something, so I started digging around online.
First thing I did was hit up some online stores that sell comics. I found out there’s this whole world of graded comics out there. Apparently, if you get your comic graded by one of these companies, you can increase its value. They check the quality and give it a grade, like a report card, and then seal it up in a case. So, I sent a few of my comics in to get graded. It took forever, but I finally got them back.
- One of them, a Batman #60 from 1950, came back with a grade of 3.5. I was a bit bummed, but hey, it’s still pretty cool to have a graded comic from way back then.
- Another one, this old Batman #121, got a 5.0. It’s the first appearance of Mr. Freeze, so that’s kinda neat.
After getting them graded, I started looking into selling them. Turns out, there are lots of places online where you can sell graded comics. There’s the usual places you would expect to find them. I did some research, compared prices, and finally listed a few of them for sale. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but I managed to sell a couple. Made a little bit of cash, which is always nice.
I also found some other graded Batman comics online that I thought were cool, so I bought a few. I even got a Batman #1 signed by Greg Capullo and Scott Snyder, graded at 9.6. That one set me back a bit, but it’s a real beauty. I learned that you gotta be careful with the prices, though. Some folks try to sell these things for way more than they’re worth.
So yeah, that’s been my journey into the world of graded Batman comics. It’s been a lot of looking stuff up, sending things in, waiting, and checking out different places to buy and sell. It’s not exactly a quick and easy process, but it’s been fun. And hey, I ended up with some cool collectibles and made a few bucks along the way. Not too shabby, right?
The whole experience is just like sorting through your old junk, finding some hidden gems, and trying to make the most of them. It takes time and a bit of effort, but it can be rewarding. Plus, you get to feel like a bit of a treasure hunter, which is always a bonus.
I had to learn to be patient though, some of these comics took forever to come back graded and it’s a bit of a waiting game when it comes to selling. Some of the graded comics that I bought were pretty pricey, so I had to save up for those. I guess the lesson here is that everything takes time and money, and you have to do your research to make sure you are not overpaying. All in all, the effort was worth it. It was pretty cool to find some rare comics and even make some money by selling them.
