Totally agree with you...because I’m a collector not an investor or speculator. I just love the medium. A lot of people who get certain comics graded are possibly people who intend to sell at some point. I’ll admit that a graded comic fetches more money but for me selling is not something I give much thought to and if I want to look at a book I can because it’s not encased..
These look really cool ive got the 2nd app of moonkight (WBN 33) and 1st app of John stewert/2nd guy gartner (both fascimiles) I can use these for maybe!😊
"I'll look at this page and enjoy it", that is what I like hear :D Same with me, I have slabs, but I've never sent any books in to get graded. These look like a good option to display them well, while still being able to take them out and enjoying looking at.
Those are really cool! Like you I've got some books I've thought about getting graded but worry about the cost and something getting damaged, these are a great alternative. Plus they'd be perfect for signed books. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for this review! I definitely am interested in this item. Please share other options like this one. I myself have been using top loaders for awhile! I’m also afraid of sending comics out to Cgc!
I loved my Comic capsule when they sent me one to review. ❤🎉 I really like it and you could put your own custom label on the top of the capsule so when you put it in Long box, you can just read everything from the top
These are cool! I hate graded books! Unfortunately, the price point isn't there. It would get to expensive buying these for multiple books. Mylar and two backing boards offer just as much protection. They do seem to being a great alternative if they could get them to $5.
Awesome review, I'll probably pick some of these up because I have a few books I would like to display. I have the same CGC fears you mentioned, so this is a good alternative.
@@comicsaredope My sweet spot for recent purchases is somewhere between $50 - $150, and I'm only buying slabs. The guesswork, turnaround time, and cost of direct submitting is costly, time consuming, and stressful. Most of the Jim Lee issues of Uncanny X-Men are undervalued and most of the issues that don't have legit key-issue potential tend to have iconic covers. I picked up 9.8s of #256 (1st New Psylocke) for $129, #257 (1st Jubilee in costume) for $89, and Alpha Flight #33 (1st Lady Deathstrike) for $100. I also picked up Scott Snyder's Wytches #1 (Sean Gordon Murphy Midtown Variant) for $45 in 9.8. The only raw comics I'm buying are reader copies for the nostalgia and I'm not spending more than $5 on any single issue. I still have a short box of Silver, Bronze, and Copper keys that I need to press and clean but not sure about submitting.
Are they archival quality? Or are they going to slowly destroy the comics inside? Also you should do a drop test to see if the comic is protected from damage. Fortress was used prior to CGC any many Golden Age key books did get damage inside of them (for being in the case for a long time)
I haven’t done much looking at alternatives. But $10 seems reasonable for display purposes. I wouldn’t look to replace my bags & boards with them. But for the occasional display book, I don’t mind.
