 about the chat so we got that going we should be coming in live yeah indeed indeed nice let me load this up and we got this guy going sweet and we can just small window that guy at the top and the bottom bar set up nice hi everyone this is chichou welcome to my channel and welcome to the live stream today today is march 19 2021 and we're doing a comic book live stream but we haven't done one of these before because we're going to try to grade some comic books okay now i'm not a professional grader i've been a collector for 30 years i guess 30 plus years now 30 plus years and i have a handful of comic books and i have most of my comic books are raw okay not graded and we have i have like a one box of cgc cbsc sort of graded comic books and i've shown a lot of my collection or some of my collection over the years that we've been making videos and we've done some comic book readings all the comic books in this pile over here we've read okay and we'll go through those and more we've read a lot more okay actually one of the comic books here we've read as well and we've never done a grading comic book a specific video for grading we have done the gradings estimated the grades of the comics that we've read okay but we've never specifically done a grading comic book uh live stream and because i'm not a professional grader i was hesitant to do this but i did a little research and i have done a little research over the years and cracked open a couple of websites four websites actually for us to go through and just get an idea of how to go about this okay uh good afternoon crack how are you doing dragons dragons hello hello hope you guys are doing well uh so our attempt in this live stream is just to go through the process and talk about sort of what it means to grade a comic book link up some sources that we can go to we can use and really appreciate that grading is can vary grade in a comic book can vary okay depending on who's grading it the variation is plus or minus probably about 0.5 so there could be a one great difference between collectors and professional graders and stuff that are grading it could be more than that if depending on who the buyers are and who the sellers are Cheryl how are you doing oh my god i always wanted to get my top five graded at least the ones which haven't been already yeah uh you know what i've been meaning to and i checked out some of the prices yesterday and they haven't gone down since last time i checked them because i've never sent a comic book to be graded and i was thinking about sending it myself uh to be graded but man the costs are insane um so my local comic shop where i pick up comic books where i get my weekly poll list they sort of put packages together and send a whole bunch of comic books to be graded and then they come back and they give them to whoever the people were that sent the comic books to be graded and whatnot right hopefully it's all legit it should be all legit right i'm just hesitant to have third parties go through the process when you can do it directly but one of the reasons for third parties is i guess reduces the cost um so it's here neither here nor there i don't i don't know how what i'm gonna do uh right now uh i was thinking about doing some of the grading because i want to sell some of the comic books generate some funds to do other things um especially related to to what we're doing right now creating content and stuff like this um so i'll think about this but right now what we'll do is just go through the grading process and i'll link up some of the sources uh that we have uh birdie here i wonder if anyone has sent in a book to be graded and it came back damaged i've never seen that i we sent in oh did you guys the lowdown by the way here let me how long are we in given enough people we've only given people about five minutes to jump into the stream so maybe we'll give people a little bit longer for notifications to go out uh if people are going to be jumping in but take a look at this thing right i got two piles here okay this pile here is comic books we've read we read sandman number eight okay so this is the comic book we actually read this is the first appearance of death so i was thinking about sending this and to be graded and we looked at this specific one when we made that video the reading comic book video Felix how are you doing what's up happy friday happy friday right we read tales of horror okay so i've grabbed some stuff that is very high grade and we're going all the way down to like two right so i've grabbed things that are extremely high grade all the way to the low grade right and we should have mid-grade here as well so we've already read this one tales of horror we've read web of mystery so that's tales of horror number 10 this is a web of mystery number 10 we've read this one as well these are the specific comics we've read this is headline comics number 27 and we recently read this one this one was uh uh jack Kirby and uh joe schuster i believe if i recall correctly right and it's a pretty good copy it's a mid-grade copy lower mid-grade copy what did we grade the set oh we didn't put the grade on it um so maybe get this one graded as well right captain durr how are you doing welcome welcome i really i was really hoping for chicho in white guy brother i was gonna get white gloves i seriously was gonna get white gloves but then i watched some videos and one of the ones that most people send their comic books to with the cgc in their video and i watched their video of how they grade and it's it's basically what you do but they didn't really go through the tick marks of what kicks things up to a certain thing so it's arbitrary it's not arbitrary but subjective what's the word subjective or objective subjective subject object object little object subjective it really depends on the on the grader right so they didn't go through the okay it's got five little ticks on the spine that brings it down point two five points subjective okay subjective so it was very subjective right i was looking for something that says okay there are some which is like if it's more than a two inch tear it you know it kicks it down to this and whatnot and i have a ruler here as well right that i brought out with a protractor thing but in that video the guy mentioned that's a cgc grader putting out a video under the umbrella of cgc it was a cgc youtube channel right he said their graders don't use gloves right i was like really okay no gloves it is right we just recently read this one we didn't get to see what happens to superman kitty cat and this is first appearance silver age of prince of cat one and we just read this one yesterday superman 37 i'm 100 percent well not 100 99 percent sure that i'm going to be sending this book to be graded so i want to start off with this book and it's a mid-grade book to take a look at the grading of it okay horse horse oh one hey joe and everyone hello hello welcome to our live stream dirt plug what's your first name horse calagulas calagulas horse is that a type of horse i'm brutalizing it dirt plug i use the over street guide to grading comics as a baseline i wish more people would use it there are some shops out there with off the wall grading standards that yeah really i didn't open up the over street one you know what i should open up the over street one let me go in here i'm going to grab the over street one as well because that's a great suggestion by the way uh dirt plug half red half red indeed oh yeah so should we slab it decentralized grading decentralized grading rating birdie here welcome welcome uh based off roman emperor caligula oh caligula caligula's horse ah caligula horse awesome have you seen the movie i saw the movie pretty trippy with uh peter a tool curbed him how are you doing he treated his horse better than his people huh okay good to know let me open up over street sorry gang if you want to over street grading scale let's put the scale on there and see what happens see if it grabs the horse through grading definitions and terms let's check it out oh my god so much writing yeah yeah we'll open this one too it's just it's crazy the grading comic books what a trip what a trip right what a trip uh he gave his horse a position in the senate did he give his horse a position in the senate are you serious oh my god no way no way and check this out these are some of the ones that uh well this one is part of our this is first appearance of gambit right x-men 266 and we're going to read this one you know if we get a chance to grade it i doubt it i think the best we're going to do is probably just look at one book or two book two books in this stream and see how we go about it right but we're going to be reading this one and i wouldn't mind uh i got a couple of extra copies of this one so i wouldn't mind sending one of them to be graded so i can sell we've already read uh amazing spider-man 361 right so we've read an amazing spider-man 361 it's the first full appearance of carnage right and i've already sold two on ebay right but the prices of these have gone up through the roof especially 9.8 graded and 9.6 graded right like 9.8 of this goes for over a thousand dollars now right 9.6 is going for well over 300 now right 300 if not more okay so i wouldn't mind sending one of these books to be graded there's two we've we've read this story i don't know if we've read one of these ones or the previous one that i have right and i grabbed both these copies because one of these books the cover is cut off center right it's not centered so when you're buying on ebay there are some people that say oh uh you know the cover is not centered so you can get it cheaper right the reason i'm pointing this out is the following whoo made another comic show nice pope grimy how are you doing alligot wait a minute was this read on youtube for sure we've read uh an amazing spider-man 361 uh hundred percent alligot right it's one of the most popular comic book readings that we've done right so here's two other copies that i have and we already sold two on ebay and one of the ones that we sold on ebay and they both went for a hundred and above 150 160 something like that's 180 okay canadian now one of the ones that we sold we sold it to one of the people that was coming here before mark metals i believe right and he was gracious enough to buy it and then send it in to be cgc graded and then he sent it back to me as a gift right huge kudos respect right this book that we sold that got graded got sent back to us as a gift is the first book that i've ever had in my possession that has been graded by a grading company okay horse yeah i got the name from the band that calligates horse their australian progressive metal band and they're absolutely phenomenal really it was really sunny where i was today philix says i can see a summer with uh yeah summer uh dirt flood amazing spider-man 361 is currently enjoying movie hype speculation price hike yeah now i don't know if we can get you know we might just sell these raw right but here's the thing the two amazing spider-man 361s that we sold i graded in a month 9.4 right in the ebay listing i said as far as i'm concerned as a 9.4 right now mark bought it sent it got it graded sent it back to us and the grade came back as 9.6 right so 9.6 graded it came back to us now take a look at this thing now one of the reasons i graded graded the one this one and the other one i can't remember why i said 9.4 but i'm assuming i said 9.4 because it had the marvel check this out i don't know if you can see it on the back of it there's the marvel cutting when they were cutting it you would get little holes in there there's two holes that came up it was just through the printing process right so i said okay that would make it a 9.4 or and the comic being off center so this thing was graded 9.6 but the comic book was off center right and that's the reason i grabbed both these copies because this one the comic book is off center and it's not even as off center as the one that came back as 9.6 take a look right here let me take it out of the bag so the reason i'm pointing this out is it appears like according to cgc comic book being off center doesn't affect the grade right as much as we thought anyway so take a look at this thing this one is 9.6 graded and this one we haven't graded yet right and it's off center towards the bottom right as opposed to this one which is take a look one is i'll put it back to back right i actually have my magnifying lens here too so that's three levels of cutting the comic book right from the printers that came centered little off centered a lot off centered and a lot off centered comes back as 9.6 okay so good to note i always thought being cut off center really affected the grade but i guess not as much i'm actually putting my comics in mylar while watching the show nice i got some mylar check this out i got some mylar here as well because if we take any of the ones that aren't in mylar i might want to put them in mylar well i do want to put them in mylar right i only own one uh spider-man comic and it's uh 2000 uh spider-man uh 2099 one haha nice and these are three of the ones that we haven't read but i wouldn't mind getting graded and sold right so this is the first full appearance of uh null the symbiote god and it's a beautiful cover by the way and this is fetching a heavy price and new meetings number 98 right i think this is one of the better copies that i have right so it'd be nice to get this grade and sold and this is uh teen titans number 12 the first appearance of batman who laughs right that's where i am in terms of me wanting to get books graded but i think what we should do is look at the superman and look at the pages that i have that the websites so we can get an idea of what's what it takes to grade a comic book and it's crazy craziness i got a little pen and notepad here too right and gang don't forget free assange free assange free assange julien assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity for more information see wiki leaks dot org defend dot wiki leaks dot org or are julien assange and wiki leaks playlist on censor tube right dirt as long as it's a better movie than venom ha ha other god yeah currently pricing is purely speculated if the movie stinks prices will tank possibly dirt flood uh has anybody ever seen the first spider-man movie oh my god what a horrendous thing that was from the 1970s right like seriously what was that right i gotta trust up on pajamas so and amazing fantasy number one uh sorry number 15 fetches a pretty heavy price right same with amazing spider-man i'm not spider-man but carnage is an awesome character right i'm going through a collection right now as well helping a friend of the family seldom lots of fun books oh dude that should be super fun crack that would be super fun how much is it is it too great a grading the grading varies here you know what let's let's kick it up okay gang i'm gonna make this view disappear i'm gonna bring on my desktop okay so let me bring on my desktop no that's all right so here is um i specifically looked at um comic book certification uh services for the prices and you can go here where did i go oh my signature pricing events um submit call where's the grading uh that that that that that pricing there it was okay so grading pricing check take a look at this thing all right let me bring out the chat so i actually see the chat as well chicho i love that movie which one the venom movie no the first the first spider-man hilarious brother awesome too funny too funny let me make sure this chat is sitting nicely in our um oh how come the chat is not showing oh it should be i think there's a delay maybe that's interesting are we still oh i got a what am i doing i gotta look here not there do i know it should be appearing here how come the chat's not showing up for me to see that's weird i don't see my chat box on the side here or the penis which it should be appearing there because i have it up but it is what it is all right let me see how i got these laid out the chat box is further up yeah the obs or obs glitch okay uh so it is what it is but the chat is popping up uh down here so in the bottom right so that's okay but wait a second why isn't the desktop am i showing the desktop no i haven't turned on the desktop yet what am i doing display capture there we are here's the display capture i'm going to show you guys the display capture okay i won't be able to see the chat unfortunately which is very weird or actually i'm going to do the chat here oh because the display wasn't set up that's why so the chat should be popping up there is the chat nice let me adjust this according to that's why it wasn't an obs glitch it was a chicho glitch right so boom boom boom no we want boom so here's the prices okay what the chat so here's the prices from a comic book certification services right modern book is 16 dollars per book which is not bad right but then you got to do all the shipping right and then they go they go into the cost right so 16 dollars per book for members 18 dollars for non-members valued up to 250 dollars right and then you have 27 dollars for values up to 207 what is it faster expanded so 1975 to present pre 1975 let me close this one up any years 30 dollars prepay rapid any year 81 dollars per book if you're selling heavy books you want to flip them speedy guanzala style and then it had you know two percent market value original art they have and then they had the shipping prices down here they had pressing quickstream rapids oh where's the shipping stuff maybe i went to a different page there was a cgc that i was looking at where's the cgc cgc submits services and fees right so 20 dollars right and this is just straight up to cgc or comic book certification company right but then there's all the shipping costs right customer bulk and this is the bulk one this is economy standard error so these are magazine prices right what's this one concert posters lobby cards i'm sorry i'm from skimming going through this fast i'm we're gonna go all the way to the top but it was this one i was looking at but for some reason i can't find the shipping now the shipping has to be certified there's got to be insurance associated with it seriously it's not here why not grading prices future crime pricing ah this i swear this is where we are let's see yeah this is where we are anyway that's what the pricing was it just seemed expensive to me say no to pgx say no to pgx that's the other grading company you don't want to grade through them thank god i thought you meant the film from all 2002 no no no 2002 was good the 1970s one oh my god you can see it on screen say no to hello chicho how you been doing good marco how are you doing uh sharon my my favorites still are the spider-man shirts they showed on the electric god the electric company oh my god that's such a great show the electric anyone want to join me and jump in the wab ac and check it out wab ac i don't know what that is shorts not shirts oh shorts the spider-man actor in 1970s had balls climbing on walls without special effects i feel like i have i have to watch the 70s film just to just for the girls yeah i haven't seen it forever man so i hope you're uh searching on that go oh indeed slick make indeed that that goes the way to go right that that go that that go don't don't use sensor to sensor to horrendous horrendous and look let's go through the grading stuff i mean this is more of a discussion on grading and anything right now uh they are the worst grading server worst grading service crack honestly if you can find someone local uh that has a cgc account and does mass submissions it's the easiest way to go save so much hassle yeah that's what i ended up uh realizing crack i was looking at the stuff i'm like going mad the shipping cost like basically for us to send a book directly to get graded through either cgc or cbsc would be minimum absolute minimum $50 canadian right more right like $60 canadian which is like damn might as well just add that to the cost of just buying a comic book right or cgc graded and cbsc graded comic books you can buy for less than that right and the comics included you're guaranteed a grade right what back uh peabody and sherman's way back machines oh peabody and sherman's way back machine never heard of that the dolphin a gang now what are you doing dolphin what's your most valuable comic what's my most valuable comic i don't know my most valuable comic uh would it be new mutants no no no no you actually it'll probably be daredevil number one it'll it'll be most likely daredevil number one but in terms of monetary value right for me the graded comic book i have of mystic number five with basal wolvertron reading basal wolvertron that's the first comic book we read that's graded at five or six is more valuable than personally anyway than daredevil number one pgx customers have gotten their books back in worse condition and smelling like cat piss what cgc i think is the best company but cbcs is uh is good as well yeah cbcs cbcs or cbsc i think cbsc isn't it oh no cbcs man these acronyms i wish they chose a better acronym easier right but this company is really good right um people are paying a premium price for cgc graded right which is one reason why i believe sellers are getting a cgc graded because they're getting a premium price for them but uh for me if i was looking for the quality of comic i was looking to get a better deal i would i look for cbcs comic book uh certification services is that what it stands for comic book certification services okay let's do about where is there about let's make sure we got this right uh and this guy i believe used to work for cgc he's one of the founding members of cgc oh man how come they don't have the uh the acronym name unbelievable comic book come on it's got a comic book uh certification services someone will know better than me right someone will know better than me let's go back to the grading okay i like their grading page by the way i'll show you cgcs um i pay 60 canadian that covers the pressing as well fluctuates a bit depending on what year value of book so are you sending it to crack are you sending it to cgc or are you sending it to uh cbcs cbcs cbcs dirt flood chicho i bundle grading submissions to save on shipping but make sure they're in the same uh grading tier also i only use my my own grading company account so that the said i can track the submission progress yeah that's one thing i would love to do so you send to cgc so 60 canadian to send to cgc yeah it would be worth it for amazing spiderman 361 right maybe for venom number three the null the first null appearance i'm torn man really i'm really torn torn uh to do this because that's 60 i could spend to buy comic books right but for me i wanna you know one of the reasons i want to sell is just is first of all to see if we're grading things correctly and the other one the other reason is i want to i want to sell to generate some funds to do some other things right i just wish they had an office here i'd be willing to pay 60 dollars if they just had an office here you could do drop it off and pick it up like a week later and you get it right that would be amazing that would be amazing i have two comics i would pay full service to get them done hell i would walk them in the door i elder god i wish i could walk them in the door i wish i could walk them in the door right so gang let me take this down let's go through grading this thing now what we're gonna do is take a look at the okay what we're gonna do we're gonna estimate the grade on this a ballpark it basically the way i would go about it and then we're gonna look at the grading pages to see what they would say right so we'll go back and forth between looking at this comic as well as looking on the websites okay crack i think the key is what you bought it for and what you graded graded can sell for my first graded book i spent roughly 100 total price of book price of book plus grading i sold it recently for 400 canadian okay and that's a 400 return right 300 percent return sorry right which is pretty good right programming agreed these days i only use cbcs for the signature verification service their grading is on par with cgc though their grading is 100 on par with cgc there's no doubt about it in my mind right so it's just the name brand right and because more people have cgc they do searches on their cgc more people grade and cgc so so self-fulfilling prophecy but i think over time we're gonna see a lot more cbcs one of the reasons i was definitely leaning towards sending them directly to see cbcs is because cbcs let me turn on my display capture here cbcs up here i hope that shows up yeah up top here that you're seeing they got a canadian cbcs canada right so you can send it directly to winnipeg right and then they send it to i guess new york to get graded and then it comes back conventions that they're new winnipeg right so adjust grading and return shipping simplify submission process simple as drop and go fast and accurate turnaround times eight weeks max designated canadian customer service staff right so in that regard it makes it a whole lot simpler for canadians to do it through cbcs okay money derp says shout out to winnipeg shout out to winnipeg so gang let's crack this open okay now what i do when i'm and gang i am not a professional grader i am not a professional grader as you can tell i was selling amazing spider-man 361s that were supposed to be graded at 9.6 i was selling them and graded as 9.4 right no big deal because to me i graded as 9.4 i would buy it as 9.4 i would sell it as 9.4 right sharyl chichu i know you have addressed this but aside from the obvious value of independent evaluation is there a reason someone would have a comic graded if they are not looking preservation sharyl preservation right uh so for preservation purposes for sure getting graded not a bad idea not a bad idea most expensive but of a comic chichu buy most expensive buy most expensive buy i've done elder god in terms of comic books is that what you're asking buy have a comic oh yeah you are most expensive not but but buy have a comic yes that was throwing me out most expensive but of a comic book from chichu the one we saw yesterday in my comic book haul shaman noir number one lots of butts in there playing the market as well playing the market as well indeed right so it's like any trading but preservation for sure mine is 9k elder god you paid 9k my most expensive buy of a comic book was daredevil number one and i bought it like six years ago graded at 5.0 now i don't know if it's a 5.0 for me it was a 5.0 i agreed with the seller right uh graded a 5.0 and i paid uh about 400 canadian for it right now that book is probably selling around 2 000 if not more you paid 9 000 for a book what book elder god hoping the book gets odd hoping the book gets odd yeah yeah and by the way gang it's a legit thing to do right a lot of people frown on all their speculators they're this sure there are speculators that enter any market that don't give a rat sass about the market and what they end up doing is they buy and flip they try to flip buy flip buy flip buy flip buy flip buy flip right and then the one when the market dies down they move on they're like the traders right that's a way to make money if you want to make money or gamble if you want to think about it that way right there are comic book collectors that realize there's a hot comic book out and they end up buying a comic book and if it doesn't go up in value whatever they bought a hot comic book as the risk they took that's okay right it it might not go up for the longest time like for example look amazing spider-man 366 when it first came out right there was copies on the shelves for days it didn't sell out right same with new mutants number 98 right now amazing spider-man 361 and new mutants number 98 for 10 years you could have bought them for like ten dollars right really they were cheap right and then slowly the prices kicked up amazing spider-man 361 I wish I brought up some of the other ones we bought we bought the first appearance of um cletus cassidy carnage the first host to be occupied by the carnage symbiote right we bought that comic I believe for a dollar like three years ago from a comic book haul it was graded like nine or something like that that book is now I don't know 40 dollars right now that's a legit thing to do so don't be afraid to if you think a comic book is a good investment to buy additional copies don't go crazy because you might be wrong to buy that and I've done that I've gone crazy on certain comic books that have been wrong right just because I got caught up in the hype right but it's okay to buy additional copies like we already sold two I already sold two here's two more and I have some additional copies right because when this thing came out I read the story and it was amazing I love this character it's a unique character in the marvel universe and I've mentioned this before it's the closest character to the joker from the marvel universe is marvel universe is joker really but uh to a degree a more vicious one okay so that's just one thing I want to clear up uh it's okay to buy additional copies and then you can get some graded and sold for me I want to get this graded because it's the amazing it's a superman comic it's the lowest superman comic I have and I ended up paying and this is probably one of the second one of the few highest-priced comics I bought I ended up paying 200 for this Canadian right nothing wrong with speculating but damn you've got to know your stuff you've got to know your stuff right and sometimes you'll you'll be wrong right elder god it's a number one issue that's all I can say uh emotion and profit don't work well together and yeah they don't well work well together okay in terms of grading okay gang what I do when I first pick up a book I take a look at it in the bag bag and board if it's in a bag and board if not you're buying off the rocks you buy it off the racks you pick it up you look at it when I pull my weekly pull list when I grab my comic books I don't really check every book to see if they're good grades like it's just comics that I'm buying I always compare carnage to the joker as well yeah it is 100 right so when I pick up a book right away what I do I estimate where the grade of this book is going to be right so when I would pick up this book and we took a look at this right because we read it yesterday I'd pick up this book I said okay this is a mid-grade comic book right so if it's a mid-grade comic book let's go back to our website our capture oops our display capture right so let's bring up the display capture let's close this up now take a look at this thing here's here's a site that I use gang comic comics price guide I use this site a lot to price comic books to search for comic books and I use my comic shop a lot now I've never bought any books from my comic shop okay but I really appreciate their website okay and people they've been around for a long time and people like them they may be a little bit on the expensive side but they provide good service and they do you know you can save on pre-orders here and you know they do consignments and stuff like that right and what they have here they got the list of 10 grading points right 10 grading scale and the basic gradings is you know these guys right here you know near mint mint ferrifer and all that jazz but this is the one I go to right the number scale from 10 right with gem a mint all the way down to a pour and then below this is no grade if it's not complete or not complete okay and if you go down here they got a little write up for what each one of these grades would be considered right so if we're looking at a comic book and we're saying okay it's mid-grade I would just hop down straight to the mid-grade section which is really when I'm talking mid-grade I'm I'm talking about you know five to seven so very good fine to let's say fine five to six would be the mid-grade area right and then as you can tell here's here's the over grading definition I didn't come to this one of the reasons was is because they have huge write-ups here like this is not easy to go through look I mean look at this thing right it's just a wall of text coming at you saying okay nearly perfect so 9.2 nearly perfect with only a minor addition defect or defects that keep it from near mint a limited number of minor binary printing defects are allowed a light barely noticeable water stain or slight foxing that does not defect from the beauty of the book is acceptable see I wouldn't if there's foxing I wouldn't put it in the 9.2 category but over street saying they would so okay that's good to know so if you want to really delve deep into grading this is something that you have to do to a certain degree after 30 years of collecting I've never really gone beyond my own grading style and knowing that certain defects are okay they're not the best things to have right crack I'm finding the new books in this a collection for my my own collection I'm finding a few books in this collection for my own collection nice I now have a copy of Hardy Quinn's first appearance very nice it's one I'll be sending in for grading yeah Batman Adventures number 12 man crack I was pulling Batman Adventures number 12 or Batman Adventures so I have number one all the way to number six but I was moving cities at that time so I stopped my pull list so I missed the Batman Adventures number 12 right I missed Batman Adventures number 12 so this is cgc graded by the way gang let me give you all these website links in the chat so here's cgc there's cgc here's my comic shop and I'll provide these links in the description of this video once we upload this to censor to bitchute and rumble there's my comic shop here is cbcs okay cbcs brutal to show similar story for me was buying it regular and then dropped off yeah it sucks it sucks crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy here is my comic a comics price guide okay comics price guide and then here is here's a artful investment the educating collectors by buying and selling rare coins tokens metals currency and comic books right so this is something that just came through as well and they have you know they have a whole write up here and then they get into you know mint what that means near mint and it wasn't bad actually when I went through this so I have pictures so this was not bad either right so there are a lot of independent sites out there that actually provide grading guides and whatnot because that's their business okay chichou is 1960s comics graded at six 1960s commas grade is six nine thousand dollars uh I would say either if you paid for it a while ago it's uh spider man number one or fantastic four number one or amazing fantasy number 15 yes it would have to be it would have to be nine grand if it's graded a six if you said it was nine grand and graded at eight I would say daredevil number one oh 1990s no you said 1960 okay chichou is 1960s is it 1960s or 1990s yeah congrats amazing fantasy 15 so take a look at this thing let's go through mid-grade of this right so if we're going through mid-grade here's the description here let's go to this this first let's go to comic price guide first let's read their mid-grade description and here's the mid-grade description now unfortunately don't put five in there I would put five in there too but they're not right uh well they're going very good grades fine grades oh they're defining it as this so let's read the fine grade stuff okay in uh comics price guide and then here let's see what cgc's is ridiculous by the way oh here cgc's I couldn't find a better thing for this cgc's descriptions are these and uh an above average collectible with a minor with a major defect so for example for 6.5 right and above average collectible with a major defect and some smaller defects or a significant accumulation of small defects right you know six a slightly above average collectible with a major defect and some smaller defects or a significant accumulation So the CG's description of their grading is not the best. I'm thinking they probably have another page where they have more description on this, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't find it. Sounds like politics. Wait a second. Oh, you bought it in the 90s for six. Oh, you bought it in the 1990s for nine grand is greater than six. I would say Amazing Fantasy number 15. Yeah, that's what I would say. That's what I would say. Here is these CPCS. If we go down, here's the fine grades again. So everybody's breaking it down based on fine or very good, right? Because if you look at it, very good minus is 3.5. Very good is four. Very good plus is 4.5 and very good fine is five. And then it gets into the fine grades. For me, this is going to be, as we talked about, right? We graded this thing as basically five to 5.5 and that's the grade I bought. Here, let me take down my, I forgot about this. Let me take down my display capture. Let me bring up my chat again. No, it's not Amazing Fantasy number, graded at six. 1960s. So, fantastic four, number one. Fantastic four, number one. Okay, that's what I would say. Good. Look in discord. Real quick. And tell me what you, like, a grand, how are you doing? So take a look at this thing. We bought this comic. We paid $200 for it, Canadian. So at the time, the exchange rate was $140 US. I paid, I paid 140 US, let's say 150 US, $200 Canadian for five to 5.5 grade, right? So very good fine to fine minus. Okay. That's what those, it would be. So it's right on the border if we turn on the display capture again. Right on the boundary of very good fine to fine minus. Okay. So let's read the description for, from CBCS, what they say qualifies as in the fine category. And then we'll read the description for the very good category and see where this thing may lie. And we'll, and then we'll crack it open, take a look at it, right? So this comic, let me turn on the chat. So just in case I miss anything. Looks like someone wants a vacation to me. Someone wants a vacation. Is it from the one of the big two Aldergoth? Is it from one of the big two? I don't know what that means. Oh, the other guy was probably talking with Graf. So let's take a look. Let's read this thing. Okay. This comic is definitely red copy with hanging, handling wear, but can still be a very desirable copy. This could have one major defect, like a large piece out of the cover, a long, a long tear or a detached centerfold. Okay. So that's important to keep in mind right there. This could have one major defect, like a large piece out of the cover, which this doesn't cool, a long tear or a detached centerfold. Okay. It has stress lines on the spine and creases from the opening and closing of the cover. This could have a light reading of subscription crease or rolled spine, but is not damaged enough to reduce eye appeal. I appeal dramatically. Okay. So so far, this one we looked at yesterday already. We know that the Superman number 37 doesn't have any of these listed so far. Okay. Some cover, cover discoloration, fading in color and soiling is allowed. So this is a little faded. So that's okay. There's stain, not stain, but sort of shadow mark on top. Okay. Here, let me show you this. Actually, let me turn off the display. We'll take a look at this so far. I'm going to take it out of the cover, by the way. I'm going to take this out of the cover. Let's do that. Just sort of go on. Suicide or what? If it's what I think it is, I'd say wait an hour or two for weighing this tape here. So let's take a look at this. So take a look. You look at it like this to see if there's spine roll. So is there spine roll there? Little bit, little bit. Here, just a teeny bit, but not really. So let's take a look at this thing in detail. Should we bring out the magnifying lens? Let's bring out the magnifying lens. Might as well see if this is going to help us to take a look at. Look at this more closely and help it stay in focus. So that's not bad. We could turn on the light too, but I think natural light is better. Yeah, natural light is so much better than seeing what the defects and stuff are. Hulk, Elder God is Hulk. So here's the spine and the person we bought this from. He owns a comic book company. He's a local guy and he's been in the business for like 40 years. So the corners are pretty good. There's no chunks missing from this at all from what we've seen so far. This is the sort of discoloration that we see here that goes all the way across. That would be, I'm guessing it was sitting there and it got some sun on it or something. And if we flip this, there's no restoration that we could see. This definitely breaks in here. You can take a look at it. This part here that you can see over here. So those are the types of things that this book has. There's this, which is sort of a crease. And then you can flip on the back and we saw this yesterday. There's a little bit of tearing here when we did the read. That's the bottom left corner on the back, which is this here. And then if we go, and one thing you want to do is you want to do a page count. So this is supposed to be a 52 page magazine. So let's do a page count on this. Make sure all the pages are there. So one, two. Now I'm assuming they say pages, it means leaf. I always forget about it, but it means one on this side and two on this side, I believe. But we'll count the number of pages and then we'll multiply by two. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, right? Twenty-four, twenty-five, I guess to cover. So I'm not sure if I don't think there's anything missing here. So that's twenty-four. Twenty-four times two is forty-eight. And if you count the covers, that would be fifty-two. Is that the way we do it? She jolted down the color on the inside as many. Yeah, it's a good book. Like initially I was, I personally think this is a 6.5 tomorrow. Yeah, you know what? Initially I was like, okay, this is a 5.5, but it's solid, right? Now let's take a look. Let's go to the center. You can tell the centerfold when you go in the middle, but I don't want to go directly from the middle. Let's see. Over here, it's over here, over here. Where is this? We should have just hit it up when we hit the center and took a look at it. The misalignment of the covers, bottom right corner, and the back covers, bottom right corner, and the staples on the onto kind of leads me to believe this has had more spine roll and someone reflattened it. But I don't really know. I don't know. I verify golden each count with this dirt flag. You can't provide links dirt flag. You got to put it in our discord page. Only me and Maz are allowed to provide links in the chat on Twitch. I know in books, the cover isn't usually a page, but if there's the initial strip on the inside of the first page, who can tell? Yeah, that's the kicker, right? So if we, like one of the other things you could do here, I'll show you another website or go to to confirm this. I usually, it's like for me, usually I don't buy any books that aren't complete. So I usually check them. Let's see. Let me punch this in. 37. Oh, it does not have it. Just because of copyright stuff. Silly. Like this should be in the public domain by now, right? Like really, this should be in the public domain. I find it horrendous that it's not. So you would have to go to a site to download it. I can't find it on comic book plus. Very unfortunate. Very unfortunate because that way you can just see all the pages. You would know what it is, right? Yeah, it's not here. Very unfortunate. Very unfortunate. Let me see if Superman number one is in here. If Superman one is there, we might be able to find. Nope, it's not there. Very unfortunate. This is the site that I use, by the way, here. I'll link it up for you guys. Let's go to home. This is a great site. There's tons and tons of what do you call it? Thousands of, well, lots of comic books you can read for free. Golden age comic books. Stuff that has come into the public domain. I know in the books to cover you. Okay, so take a look. Take a look at the centerfold. The staples are nicely intact. Let me turn on the lights on this. The staples are nicely intact, solid, and we read this, and we didn't see anything missing from the inside because we read this story. So we know that part of it is complete. So we've already read all the way through past the centerfold, and the story was complete here, right? And if it's complete here, then we know it's complete on the flip side, right? If there's no tears and there wasn't any tears. So as Graus said, there might have been more role to this. And what could have happened as well? Once this gets put in a bag and board and stored, it presses itself slowly. This is to say the back, the back of the cover. Yeah, I bought this assuming that it's complete and the guy's pretty legit. So 52 page magazine from the Golden Age advertising shenanigans, right? Advertising shenanigans. Okay, so that's what the book looks like. And the other thing we want to really look at is the color of the pages, right? And there's a little bit of staining here, right? Again, it matches this thing here, the fold here. So the odds were, take a look at this thing, right? The odds were, and Graham, I think you're right, it has had a sort of a press something. So this thing was rolled up, and this part of it got exposed to the sun. You see that, right? Take a look. So this part got exposed to the sun. So this would also be considered sun damage, right? This would also be considered sun damage. Now, as far as the pages go, they're not white, they're off-white, but usually if you have white pages, and it's an older book, you would go white to off-white if the inside in here is more white than the outside. You see a little bit of halo of browning on the outside, right? Not browning, but just darker, right? Like this color. So this would, I would say, is off-white. It could also be white to off-white, right? Take a look. There's the minutest amount of foxing going on. Very, very little on certain places. Okay. Foxing is sort of just like, let me find like yellow spots. Take a look. See that? That's like foxing. A little bit of foxing, okay? But not much, right? So that's what we have right now with this book, right? Now that we looked at it, let's take a look at the descriptions of the websites, what we're looking at, right? So let me turn on my display again. Let's bring out the website. We were, we were reading this, right? The CBCS. So we went through the first three. Let's keep on reading to see what else is here. Some cover this, this, this coloration, fading in color and soiling is allowed. So that, this definitely has it, right? The cover and or inside pages could have some tears and or folds. There are some folds, right? Not much, but there are some. With the absence of any other defects, the cover can be detached from one staple, but cover cannot be completely detached from interior. The cover is fully attached here, okay? Books with slightly brittle pages cannot grade higher than 6.5 and generally are even lower in grade. These pages are not brittle, just feeling them, okay? They don't fall apart if you bend them a little, right? So not brittle. Books with slightly brittle pages cannot be, okay, read that. Pages and inside covers can be brownish, but not brittle, okay? We're in the brownish category, I guess. Depending on the look of the comic, very small amount of tape could be acceptable in this grade and there's no tape on this, right? So it fits this category and the range is from 7 to 5.5. So worst case scenario, this would be a 5.5 and as Elder God says, he would say possibly 6.5. Now let's read the description for the very good category, right? And this will give us an idea if this even belongs in the very good category or not, if we have the right category, which is the fine category, okay? So let's read the description for the very good category and that's the way you should go about this game, right? That's the way I go about it if I'm really seriously into grading it, right? But I tend to put 5 in the mid-grade. I don't go sort of mid-high as 5 or more. I'm sort of a mathematics. If you're a 5, you're round up, you're round down, right? So let's take a look at the very good category. These books are complete but can have major creases and a spine roll. Cover gloss can be very low or sometimes no gloss at all. The inside paper quality can be low and small pieces of pages may be missing. Books with brittle pages cannot grade higher than 3.5 and generally are even lower in grade. Books in this grade are almost always creased, scuffed, abraded and soiled but readable. A large amount of tape is also allowed in this grade. Once again, CBCS does not recommend placing tape on a comic. This is definitely, right? So according to these readings, right? According to these readings, what we just talked about, this is not in the very good category. This would be in the fine category, right? Now the question is, is it a 5.5 fine or a 7 fine? Now I wouldn't give this a 7, right? Would I give it a 6.5? Reading the description now, I'm sort of going, okay, maybe this is a 6, right? Higher than a 5.5. Initially I would have said a 5. Now I'm thinking, okay, higher based on this reading. However, because we're new at this, right? Let's read one of the other websites, their description for it. So let me turn on my display again. Let's look at the fine category on my comic shop, okay? So my comic shop says this. I'm going to leave chat off for now because the writing goes all the way across. A comic in fine condition is considered above average but still displays somewhere. In general, the eye appeal is somewhat reduced due to either an accumulation of minor defects or one or two moderate defect. Acceptable defects on a fine copy include slight spine roll. So there's a slight spine roll here. A moderate accumulation of spine stress that may break color and we do have that, right? By the staples, right? A spine split of less than a half an inch and we don't have any spine splits on here, right? Like we looked at this, there are no spine splits. Minor water spoiling or residue. There is no water spoiling on this. Residue less than the size of a dime. An impacted corner and moderate foxing. This has minor foxing at best, right? Impacted corner. The corners all seem to be around the same category. But let's read the very good description for this, okay? A comic in very good condition shows some significant wear but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. A very good copy may have an accumulation of minor defects or two or one or two major ones. Acceptable defects on a very good copy include spine roll, a half to one inch spine split or other tears. A cover or centerfold that is detached at one staple. Discoloration due to oxidation and a moderate accumulation of water damage or staining. So this is definitely not in the very good category. So again, based on this reading, we're in the fine category. But you know what? Let's read the very fine category. The very fine category we got. A very good copy has minor defects. So a very fine goes from 7.5 to 9, right? And this book is definitely not 7.5 to 9. Okay, a very fine copy has minor defects but is in overall excellent condition. Most well-kept modern comics, especially if they have been read, fall into this grade. Acceptable defects are very fine or minor and include minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may include color break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or falls less than a quarter of an inch. Note that on a very fine copy, some color break is allowed in a bend or a fold. Oh, I didn't know that, right? So no, just by the appeal, just reading this. I mean, if you just read this, you would say, oh, maybe this belongs in the very fine category, but it doesn't, right? Let's go to over here. Now this one, I mean, this is the reason. If you go to Overstreet, right? We're going from 7, 5.5 to 7, and this is the write-up they have from 5.5 to 7, right? We'd have to read all that just to narrow it down, which we're not going to. Here's CGC. Here's their description. An above-average collectible with a minor defect or accumulation of small tears for a 7. An above-average collectible with a major defect and some small defects or significant accumulation of small defects. So these descriptions are very generic, right? And this is the one, did we read this one? We read the CBCS. We didn't read Comics Price Guide, did we? This could have one major defect, like a large piece out of the lower. So that's where we are with the fine grades. Yeah, 5.5 to 7, right? Pages on this side cover could be brown but not brittle. Yeah, we read this one, okay? Depending on the grade of the copy, certain amounts of it are available in this grade, i.e. a book that looks 8 with a piece of tape on the interior cover is acceptable in this grade. So if a comic book looks like an 8 but has a tape, it kicks it down into a fine category. Okay, gang. So the question is, what are we grading this at? What are we grading this at? My G6 is about the same as yours, Chichou, but with a damaged corner, okay? Spine stress, okay? Spine ticks, spine ticks. Yeah, and this one, did I bring a comic? I must have a comic here that has more pronounced spine ticks. On modern comics, the spine ticks are very, you can see them really well, right? I don't know. I'm going to crack open the Sandman, Sandman number 8, just to see if there has any spine ticks on it. Oh, I have the, what you can call it, the magnifying lens here. Still, I better remember to put the tape on these sideways. Makes it so much easier to tear off. Where's my exact one knife? That's one reason I keep a sharp nail, one long nail. You can grab tapes, like people keep on asking me, Chichou, how come you have this nail right here, right? Why do I have that? Because I can grab tape and pull it, break it. Otherwise, it's impossible. Some people think it's for other purposes. Now we know. Also, Yoshi, how are you doing? You should see the comments on the sensor tube. Oh my God, Chichou's got a thing in between that, right? What's the starting bid on Sandman? I don't know. I sold one of these. I sold the Sandman number 8 for last year for $40, I believe. Right now, it would be going for a lot more. So the person, I think it was $40 or $60. The person that bought that, it was a lady down in Texas, I believe. She was a, she was finally, she, you know, paid for it straight up, sent it. Oh, thank you very much for putting this up. I sent it and that was it, right? But I think it's going for a lot more. And that one, I think I graded it at 9.4, 9.4, I think, right? Fold over one end, just a little bit for a tap to make it easier to peel off. Oh, is that what you do crack? I don't do that. I just go I'm getting a scratcher. All right, grip tonight. Two number sixes and a three. Two number sixes and a three. That's what I do, Cheryl. Oh, that's what you do too. You put a little fold on the tape. Okay. I couldn't think of how to describe it without an essay. So fold over one end, just a little bit for a tap to make it easier to peel off. Okay. Let me see if there's any, any ticks on here. And you can run your finger over it. I'm looking for a tick. Come on. Give me a tick. There's one. This is the first time a comic book collector is going, going, oh man, I was hoping there would be a tick on here so we could see it. Let me see. Let me look at the natural lighting on it. There's no ticks on here. That's unfortunate. Well, fortunate, but unfortunate. I wanted to show you guys what a tick looks like on a modern comic. It's way more pronounced. So no ticks on this. Mr. Sandman has a comic, apparently. He does, he does. He's has multiple comics, multiple comics Mr. Sandman has. Is there more modern, I do have more modern comics. Do we have any ticks on these? I hope not. Let me see. Let me see if this amazing Spider-Man 3266 has any ticks. No, no ticks on this either. That's the reason I pulled them out. I wanted them to be high-grade, to be graded, right? That looks like a very sharp book that you show. No ticks for miles, no ticks for miles. I was hoping the comic cover Angry Person would be here today. I know, that's unfortunate. And I mentioned it to my partner regarding Chauvin Noir, where the person said that it was, what did the guy say? Whatever it was. And my partner was, what? That cover is empowering women, not diminishing, what? Objectifying women or so? She was like, that cover is empowering. It's showing that women are going, yes, I am proud, I am woman. It was amazing the way she said it, right? I was like, oh damn, you should have been on my live stream. Objectification, I was like, she was like, objectification. Is the person crazy? That's not objectification. That's like empowering women. That's saying, look at me. It is what it is, right? It is what it is, right? Makes you think about what information really is. Yeah, there's a comic cover Angry Person. Yeah, Pope Grimy. Do dreams reflect a will? Not just meaningless stimulation in the mind. I think dreams can be anything, right? I am proud. I am woman. I will kick your peep. Indeed, I can make up stuff. Look at Gambit's stupid face. Yeah, really. Oh, look at like, look at this. Oh, look at Gambit. He's got his arm around storm. Oh, what is he doing? Like, what? What? So we couldn't find any text on any other comics that we've pulled here. Okay, so gang, I'm going to talk to my comic bookstore. Okay, we're going to send this to be graded. Go, Gambit. All the one I know are badass. Good, good. Gang, what do you guys say? I'm sticking with 5.5 on this, right? Seriously, I'm going to go talk to my local comic shop. I'm going to ask them when they're sending in their next books to be graded, and I'm going to include this in. Okay. Playing hero is not very PC, no. I'm saying 5.5. Okay. Place your bets, place your bets. And we'll get it back, and we'll see. And maybe that's the way we'll do it. We'll just slowly grade things. Good choice, Chicho. Go for it. I'm guessing a 6. You're guessing a 6? Okay. Okay. My fingers crossed. Crack is right. Oh, my fingers crossed. Elder God's going 6.5. My fingers crossed. Elder God is right. Who's given us a 7? I think it's a 6.5. Pope Grammy, 6.5? Okay, okay, okay. We got low grade 5.5 here. We got a 6 and a 6.5. Yoshi says 7. I'm with Yoshi. It says 6.9. I love it. So that's one, that's one of the books we got, right? So we have a Superman. Yeah, seriously, I got to send this baby in. I got to send this baby in. It's got to go in, right? We'll make this one officially our first book that we send in to be graded. So, Graham, what you were saying is cool, actually. Just the offsetting of this, what Graham was mentioning is this. Because the cover, the front cover and the back cover are lining up, it's more sort of a signature of this was rolled before and then it's been pressed and it's not sitting properly, right? The back is pulling out. Possibly, possibly, right? Possibly. Silver hand. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital's power to humanity. For more information, see wikileaks.org, defend.wikileaks.org, or our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist on censor 2. Crack. Great idea for a stream, by the way. Good chat today, everyone. I have to walk away from comics now to go eat. I'm deep into a comic statement, but I bet you are. Going through your friend's collection. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. So, gang, should we take a look at one more book? Okay, let's take a look at a modern day book. Just because I might send that one in to be graded to. So, at least, you know, if we end up selling it, it'll pay for the cost of grading as well, right? So, let's take a look at Amazing Spider-Man number 361. Okay? Let's bring this out. And I'm going to bring out a Mylar bag, because I'm going to put this in Mylar once we take a look at it. And I've got boards here as well. So, let's just take a... I mean, it's a complete book. I know it's a complete book. I bought it off the racks. And all we're going to do is just look at the cover. Front and back covers. Okay. It's a beautiful book. Take a look. Let me bring out up the magnifying lens. That way, we can take a look at it in detail, right? Let's look at the spine first. Let's put this on it. Natural light. Let's turn on the lights. A little bit of tic-tac. I don't even know if that would even bring it down. That sharp, sharp comic. Oh, what's this? What's this? What's this? Take a look. Take a look. We found the defect. Yeah, we found the defect. Take a look. Take a look at this. Right there. Yeah, take a look. Right there. Little small tear. So that, okay, would kick it down to what gain? That's unfortunate. Otherwise, it looked beautiful. Look at that. Look at that. Right? Yeah, it's not even a tear. A little bit of a tear. Right? A little bit of a tear. Right? Right? So this, I wouldn't send them to be graded, even though it looks great otherwise. And here's the marvel, the printing process. So this doesn't matter. This doesn't matter, right? Because we had sent the comics that were less than this, that were less than these ones that we already got back. Or we didn't send it back, but someone sunk it back. We already got that back as a 9.6. There's a kitty cat, right? We got it back as a 9.6. Right? So yeah, what's so via? That's via meowing. Right? So aside from that, this thing looks like a beautiful copy. Look at this thing. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. So very unfortunate about this, but either way, we're going to put this into mylar. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to crack open the other. Get that kitty some candy. Get that kitty some candy. And I try to not handle my comics with my bare hands too much. Right? So I use the bags and boards and I slip them in each other. Right? So it's a better way to do things just to preserve. Right? So what I'm going to do is I'm going to crack open, grab another mylar bag and a board. Let's grab another mylar bag and a board. And let's grab a board because we're going to look at the other amazing Spiderman 361. That Bugs Bunny comic from 1980s you showed me really seemed much newer. Yeah, the Bugs Bunny Vacation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was beautifully, like it was a nice copy. A very nice copy. And we've got an amazing deal on it. Crazy amazing deal. Let's crack open this one. Let's see what this will be like. Now I don't even know if I would send in this one. I have other copies of this, so I might grab a different one and send that one in. Right? Because this book is off center. Right? Oh, here's a tick. There's a little thing there. Oh, we found the thing. We found the thing. I don't know if this is going to show up or not. Where is it? Where'd it go? So if we run our finger across. I swear there's a thing there. Yeah, there's a little bit there. See that? Right there. There's a minuteous amount of color break. Very little. See that? So I wouldn't even send this in to be graded. Even though this would come back, probably, I would probably give this one a 9.2 just off this. But according to CGC, maybe this would be a 9.4. Right? Very nice sharp. Actually, this would probably be a 9.4. Very sharp. A sharp crack open in 1984. And the one we got back in 9.6, the staples look the same as this. There's a thing right there. Right? Okay. So this one, maybe not. I'll look at a couple of other ones, maybe send those ones in to be graded. And that's the kicker. Like the decisions you make. I was hoping that a convention was going to happen in town before all these lockdowns took place where I could take, because CGC and CBCS sometimes, or certain conventions, they go to. And what they end up doing is having a booth there where you can drop off your books for them to be graded. Right? So that would have been fantastic to be able to do. Should we take a look at New Mutants? Let's take a look at New Mutants number 98. This I got to change. It's a golden age Mylar because at the time I didn't have, I ran out of the Silver Age Mylars. Let's see what this one might be graded at. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Let's get our Mylar ready for this. Because I'm going to put this in a Silver Age Mylar. Okay. Let's get that ready. Let's take a look at this. And this is a beautiful copy. Is it even going to focus? There we go. So far this is a minimum 9.6. Minimum. No defects. Nothing yet. Sharp corners. Nicely cut. I'm going to lose it. Yeah. Could shave with that edge. I think we're going to send this one in. Not bad. Not bad at all. So I was hoping the 360 ones would be like this. Let's throw this in. So there's two that we have that I'm okay with sending in to be graded. Okay. If they come back at a high grade, perfect. Perfect. Right. Yeah. It looks like a great copy. Like this I would classify as 9.8 if not more. Right. But what I sell this as a 9.8 raw on eBay might as well get a graded. Right. 9.8 goes for more than a thousand. So might as well throw that in there. Right. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange. Free Assange. Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, see wikileaks.org. Defend.wikileaks.org or our Julian Assange and Wikileaks playlist on sensor 2. Okay. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to look in my boxes. There's a couple more amazing Spider-Man 361s that I know I have somewhere. And I'm going to look at those to see what grade those are. So we're going to send a new meetings number 98. We're going to send an amazing Spider-Man 361. I got to talk to my local comic shop. Maybe they're not sending anything in right now. I don't know. Right. Because after looking at it, I'm not going to send it myself. It's just too much. Unless maybe I'll change my mind. I'm not sure. Right. And we're going to send in Superman. Superman number 37 from Golden Age. Right. And we'll see where it goes. Aside from that gang, I hope that helped out for anyone that's interested in grading. Sort of what you sort of have to go through. And you're sort of like, you think it's this, but it might be this. Right. Or vice versa. Right. Plus getting it graded. People can't argue the grade when trying to sell it. Yeah. And that's the thing. Right. That's the thing. The kicker is I've never sold anything over $200 on eBay. Right. So something sells for $1,000. We had a the person that I buy off eBay in town that owns a comic shop store. He mentioned that even when he put tracking on certain shipments, when the comics got to the buyer, they said there was no comic in there and he got burnt. He didn't get paid for the comic book. So I have no desire to have that experience happen to me. I'd be very disappointed. Right. I even got pissed off when someone tried to rip me off. Right. When they bought a copy of Venom number three with the first appearance of Null. Right. They were trying to pull a scam and eBay knew it. Right. They knew that buyer was a scammer because they found in my favor just very quickly. Right. After talking to them, after I got someone online. So and I'm sort of, you know, eBay's introduced all these taxes and stuff like this. So centralized power is going after taxes. So personally, I would rather sell these books on a private level than going through an auction house because they take a cut. There's problems associated with it and whatnot. Right. Using system is more official via the middle man. I mean, yeah, more official indeed. Crazy. Crazy Elder God. Crazy Elder God. Gang. I hope you enjoyed this live stream. I found it informative personally. Right. Someone's tried to steal my comics. They better have good insurance. Okay. If you can make it tomorrow, we're having a break. No stream. We might do a stream actually. I might pop in here and put together a math summative exam because I want to have some exercise and solutions for some of the math content that we have. And I think it's time to put some exercises together and I've laid out the format that I want the exam to be presented. So I might do that tomorrow, but I might do that on Sunday as well because on Sunday we're here to do a live stream of crystals and minerals. So with this magnifying lens, we're going to look at more crystals and minerals under the magnifying lens, but these ones are going to be my partners. They're a lot nicer than the ones I had. Well, some of most of them anyway have some nice ones too. It was a great show. Awesome. Pope grimy. Aside from that, we're going to have Chicho Salvia, the Ronald Chronicles and Personal Finance stream coming up later on this week or next week anyway. So I think we've got four more streams lined up. Those are the scheduled ones and one math one I'm going to try to slip in there at some point. Okay. Aside from that, thank you for being here, gang. Thank you for all the feedback. If you want to know what this work is about, I'm on patreon.patreon.com forward slash Chicho, C-H-Y-C-H-O.

For those of you that was supporting this work on patreon, thank you very much for the support gang. It is in large part because of your support that we're able to do this. We are live streaming on twitch, twitch.tv, forward slash Chicho live, C-H-Y-C-H-O-L-I-V-E. If you want to participate in the chat, which is here, boop boop. Twitch is where you want to be at.

And as Elder God just did the command, you can come to our twitch channel anytime you want and type an exclamation mark social and all the links to the social announcement sites, including the link to our discord page will pop up. And we do announce these live streams 30 minutes before we go live for the scheduled ones on parlor, vk, mines, and gab. Okay. And if you join our discord page and the link will be in the description of this video, you will get announcements that we've gone live on twitch. And I do put in announcements when we do upload to the video sharing platforms. We will be uploading the audio to these live streams where we don't have any visuals to soundcloud.com slash Chicho, C-H-Y-C-H-O is a podcast. And those should be available in your favorite podcasting platform, including Spotify and iTunes. Discord needs some sheriff department action. Discord is a funny discord. I love forums. That's one thing I love about discord. Initially, when I got on discord, it was through a recommendation of Casey put us on there. I didn't know what discord was. And very quickly, I found out it was just a forum. And the internet was born on forums and it will die on forums. So forums are a great place to go get information and talk to people. Open dialogue. So we were on this April 2018. Is that when we got on discord? Also, so we've been on there three years now. So it's a forum that we have where people are sharing a lot of information under the Chicho umbrella, I guess, the community that we've built here. So I do appreciate the discussion there. And I do share a fair amount of information there as well. And we will be uploading this live stream to SensorTube, to BitShoot, and to Rumble. And at some point, when we get enough points to Odyssey. And if you're on those platforms, you can support this work by liking, sharing, subscribing. And if you're on SensorTube, you can support this work by joining SensorTube membership. And there's a button down there that you can join. As a handful of you have supported this work through SensorTube memberships. Thank you very much for the support. Dang, gang, if you can make it. I'll see you guys in two days for crystals and minerals, possibly tomorrow for mathematics, maybe in the next couple of days. I hope you have a fantastic, today's what? Friday. I hope you have a fantastic Friday. Bye, everyone.
