If you're in this hobby solely for investment and concerned about Returns On Investments (ROI) then slabbed is the way to go. For me, investment is a factor, but it's certainly not the biggest or main reason I collect.


Yes, but if you find a modern book cgc graded at 9.8 on ebay for 2 1/2 times less than this sites price guide shows as its graded value, that's a slam dunk purchase, right? Nothing wrong with some extra value, yes? Although I get how that value is only realized if you sell the book.

I like the Elseworlds stuff. There was also a year where DC did all of their annuals as Elseworlds. Some interesting stuff in there as well. 1996 maybe.

The adding value part is not a given. It will add value if it is graded 9.0 or higher. But otherwise, it will protect the book and display well. Also, consider getting the book pressed. Many pressing services also ship to the grader on their account.
