INVESTING IN COMICS
When it comes to which comics to invest in, many forget one important ingredient about comic investing. The one thing most forget is getting the most value for your investments when it comes to buying them and the time to sell them.
The debate about whether to get your comics third party graded by professional grading services like CGC and PGX still rages. Some refuse to get comics graded. I'm going to reveal why this is a mistake.
There will come a time when you'll want to sell your comic books. Your main goal should be getting the highest return on your comic investments.
Ungraded books will leave you with a higher risk of selling your comics or collection for far less than they're worth. Most collectors don't know how to properly grade. This leaves them wide open targets for comic dealers.
There are some trust-worthy dealers out there, but there are also many comic buyers and dealers who are looking to rip you off when buying your collection. Many will under grade your collection and try to get your key issues as cheap as possible.
Comic books that aren't professionally graded by CGC or PGX run the risk of too much subjectivity. You may think you're book comic is at a Near Mint, and it may be, but a comic dealer can persuade you that it's no higher than a grade of Fine.
A comic that's CGC graded is considered "universal." That means whatever grade CGC grades the book, it's accepted by most collectors and dealers alike, making it harder for anyone to under grade your comics or to question the validity of it's grade.
That fact is also important for many collectors as well. Many ebay sellers don't know how to grade and advertise their comics at grades higher than they should be.
A comic that's CGC graded eliminates this problem. If it's CGC graded, you can be certain that you are paying for the grade the book is listed as.
Both buyers and sellers benefit. Buyers don't want to pay for a book at a Near Mint price when it's real value is at a Fine, and someone selling their comic investments don't want to sell their comic at a Fine price when the book's grade and value is at Near Mint.
Of course, getting your comic books graded by professional services like CGC or PGX can be expensive, as well as buying books already graded. This is why it's important to know which comics to invest in as well as which comic investments already in your collection that are worth getting CGC graded.
Don't waste your money by sending comic books that aren't worth grading to CGC or PGX! Discover what are the best CGC comics to invest in by clicking the link, as well as the top comic investment choices to get professionally graded if you have them!

A VINYL COME BACK...PLEASE
Vinyl has had a long standing reputation for purity of sound, clarity and a "fullness" that cannot be duplicated in CD'S. Yeah, sure, CD'S are great..in fact, CD'S are awesome! (At least now that you can burn your own without blowing your whole wad to purchase a single CD only to find out there was only ONE song you loved!). But, let's face it, vinyl is still king...that's right, I said it...vinyl is, was and always will be king.
Thankfully, we are seeing a resurgence of vinyl....artists are now having their new music pressed (that must make vinyl pressers VERY happy) and people are....well, people are enjoying it!
If you own vinyl, you obviously own a stereo system. Maybe it's that tricked out piece of work you put together in the 70's ...your piece of art..."your masterpiece", yeah, OK, your baby. (I am sure it's sweet).
Or you maybe you own a new system you just purchased...maybe you know a lot about it...maybe you don't. I don't know, but that doesn't really matter...what DOES matter is that you now own (or still) your own vinyl records and your own stereo system...again, SWEET!
So what about vinyl's come back??
Oh, it's here to stay....it may even out run CD'S! (yes, I said it).
Here is where you can get the best of BOTH worlds...Bags Unlimited has a stereo that allows you to play your records and turn them into CD'S...but wait...there's more! CROSLEY RECORD PLAYER! With the Crosley Songwriter CD Burner, you can now simply take your old vinyls and convert them to CD in minutes with just a few simple steps. The Songwriter CD Burner allows those old vinyls to be recorded in a digital audio format for high quality sound on compact disc. It also allows you to record from cassette to CD. However, if you still want to enjoy your albums old style, then Crosley's Songwriter offers a 3 speed turntable for your listening enjoyment.
Oh, there is so much to vinyl that LOVE cannot describe the joy that seeing my old albums brings. (btw, the Crosely is on sale at Bags Unlimited right now).
I anticipate a great return to vinyl recordings and if you feel like I do, then join me in preserving your albums with the best products on the market...only at www.bagsunlimited.com
