Cheap Slabs

Someone made a comment on the Action Comics #1 post I did the other day asking what other saved searches I had on eBay. My answer was “cheap slabs”. These are slabs priced under $20. May time with free or cheap shipping. Here are some of the highlights which are in my feed right now. 
I regularly find searching these. Most are cheaper than you can buy the book and send it off for grading. Here is this week’s gems:

GREEN LANTERNS #1 (2016) CGC 9.8 $19.99 plus $7.95 shipping

Cry Havoc #1 CGC 9.8 NM $16.95 plus $6.95 shipping (recently optioned)

Redneck #4 Pride Variant 9.6 $14.99 plus $7.60 shipping

AVENGERS VS X-MEN #1 CGC 9.8 DIAMOND SELECT TOY VARIANT EDITION $19.95 plus $9.89 shipping

Jean Grey #1 CGC 9.6 – KRS Tyler Kirkham Edition A Variant $19.99 plus $12 shipping

Black Panther #12 Venomized Variant Cover CGC 9.6 $19.95 plus $11.85 shipping,
Amazing Spider-Man #25 Venomized Variant Cover CGC 9.6 $19.95 plus $11.85 shipping,

  3. Great for buyers .. I just don’t understand why sellers want to go thru the time and expense of slabbing and offer these deals .. after paying eBay fees and PayPal, especially ..

      1. and the market sometimes sucks so badly, that they just want to get rid of books and make back whatever pennies they can muster.
        because let’s be honest, much like most on here i am sure, i sell books on ebay, and after the several month window of opportunity to flip, MOST books die in value. that avx looks like a plumb example of that

        1. Yup. When I’m dumping books to just get rid of… I make a pile I think in can get a buck or two from off eBay and then I make a pile that gets hauled off to half price for nickels and dimes each. You cut your losses though and just get what you can before you lose even more.

  5. Is “cheap slab” your search? Do you search for CGC and change your search criterias? I really like this idea 🙂

  6. This is really cool; thanks for the top. I just bought a 9.6 The Bunker #1 Francavilla variant for $25 shipped. I thought this was a good story. Hopefully it will be optioned.

  8. I’ve thought about grabbing some of these already slabbed books but I guess I am still more interested in reading them. I’m sure the day will come.

    1. I have 10 or so Silver and bronze age keys I refuse to get slabbed. I have had them checked out and graded, but that’s it. I have a Journey into mystery #83 graded at an 8.0, I do want to get THAT ONE slabbed but can’t muster the strength to send it away lol.

  9. Despite the hype, thirdparty grading may not be profitable for every book if cost exceeds revenue in fluctuating market. Anyone that do alot of speculating is sure to have winners and losers.
