In Part 1 I talked about the CGC rating system for comic books. Now I have some scans of my books that are CGC rated. The Brave and the Bold No. 28 is the first appearance of Justice League of America. My issue received a grade of 3.5. That puts it in the Very Good range (3.5 to 4.5 is very good). The sealed vinyl around the issue mutes the color in the scan.
A website that brings buyers and sellers together is www.comiclink.com. Currently there are 4 issues of No. 28 on sale there now. There is a 4.5 rated issue (a little better rating than mine) that has a sale pending at $902.00. There's an issue rated 6.5 that has a sale pending at $2500.00. The 5.5 rated book has an asking price of $2275.00. An issue rated 2.0 has an asking price of $425.00 and a bid of $325.00.
I have a Green Lantern No. 26 that has a rating of 4.5. I have a Brave and Bold No. 29 (second JLA appearance) with a rating of 2.5. My JLA No. 15 has a rating of 5.5.
Also, I scanned a few covers that haven't been graded and their condition varies. But it's a sampling of the kinds of books I have. The Batman issue is not in good condition, but it's interesting because it's one of the older books I have. I bought it used when I was a kid and it's almost Golden Age (it's dated 1956). Dell Comics published the Zorro series to coincide with the ABC-TV series in the late fifties. Another cover is a Marvel Comic from 1965. And of course, there was Jimmy Olsen. This cover is from 1960.
