What Books Are Worth Grading For Flipping? AND How to Pick a 9.8

[@NotoriousJay66]

I'm a terrible flipper, because I have problems selling, I want to keep everything 😅

[@timaaae9626]

...couldn't agree more. I don't want to get rid of any of my collection. ....unfortunately.

[@stillchillin7249]

You'll get there. I was terrible about it before, starting to let go.

[@LiquidWeapon]

Once you start, it gets easier when you see the money coming back. Start with a few that you're ok with letting go.

[@mingaling72]

I'm at the 7k comic mark of which 5k should be sold but they are so damn sweet. I have 3 or 4 LCS that don't sift through their back stock which are priced from $1-cover so anytime something hits I grab what they have. In my mind I know if I flip the FOMO books asap I am going to make money but I can't get myself to list them. I literally have 5k mini to larger keys. So I feel ya!

[@rickderris5294]

Once you start making a few bucks from your sales, you'll change your tune really fast. Trust me. It's actually fun.

[@paulpittman5200]

Lots of good information. Just recently made my 1st CGC submission. Wish I would've seen this video first. Fingers crossed!

[@GtBeatz508]

Is it really backed up 6 months? I got some good ones I wanna submit but that’s a super long wait time

[@ZeroZhoust]

I love how I just get into comics at the age of 26... And NOW you make the best content absolutely possible as a new collector and new flipper to fund the former 🥺

[@SPalochik]

First and foremost is to collect what and HOW you want to COLLECT! If you want the hobby to pay for itself this channel helps you do that. If you want to stay on top of current trends this channel helps you do that too. GREAT information as always Bry!

[@BrysComics]

Thank you very much my friend!

[@Notthatshaneblack]

Appreciate how much time and effort you throw into these videos man. Always great content.

[@BrysComics]

🙏🏻

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Another great video Bry! Most don’t realize how much time, money, and energy go into flipping a book for profit and you offer up a timely cautionary tale we ALL can benefit from.

[@701comics]

I liked that you showed the defects and what’s pressable. Great vid!

[@bcomics3135]

Great informative video, I'm not big on selling comic's, but I do buy multiple book's if there could be future spec potential.

[@mothwaste1004]

Back in the comic game and now I am going to start sending some of my old comics to CGC

[@BrysComics]

May the force be with you!

[@txboy2107]

Man thanx Bry I always learn so much from your videos. Always look forward to you new content and what else you got to teach the community. Nice to hear you went through the same thing while learning from mistakes as well

[@chadmorris7891]

Love all the info you give. Helps me with my collecting. Keep it going. Thanks

[@zophar1001]

Self pressing is the way to go. That last review section is super helpful!

[@mattszymanski3989]

Thanks for the information. Just getting started with flipping comics and found this video very helpful!

[@ameliajade6113]

Seriously peeps, amazing info, we should be paying for this sort of info considering it’s been gathered from years of experience with Cgc and thousands of submissions which is priceless.

[@BrysComics]

🙏🏻💯

[@dustygranger9499]

I always appreciate the look behind the curtains.

[@aquabman7]

Great video, covering tons of specific examples!

[@andrewkrekelberg4379]

Thank you for going over the 9.8's pre-screen. I had no idea about the bindery tears being allowed for the 9.8's.

[@Syabi]

Very informative video. Especially when you went on the details of examining the 9.8 candidates.

[@azpureplayer7897]

Lots of great knowledge drops in the video. Appreciate it!

[@dstar101]

Really appreciate the information you provided bry

[@syndrognito8579]

Thanks for the video today about what to look for when trying to 9.8 candidates. Trying to do that myself. You gave me lots of stuff to look for.

[@BrysComics]

You’re so welcome!

[@ianjameson8727]

Great stuff Bry! I have so many books needing a good press.

[@OneNastyNupe]

I'm in the same boat...I have no idea how to flip when I am always trying to keep stuff. Still glad to be here!

[@christopherplaza1994]

Keep the comic knowledge coming! Love from Texas 🙏🏻

[@liquidevil9463]

Thanks for all this info. The grading portion is especially good.

[@johnnymac2693]

Enjoyed the overview. Thanks for sharing the information.

[@darthdaddy8910]

Great info! You break it down in a way I didn't consider before.

[@863Vegas]

Wow! This one is solid gold! Thanks for the thorough breakdown and Masterclass in how to get the hobby to pay for itself!

[@BrysComics]

🙏🏻

[@RoB9009]

Great video as usual, love you going deeper into the whole process from choosing which book until grading the books to send in

[@808_collector]

Great advice! Always learning something new from you.

[@kaiyab.6239]

This was a really good video, with a lot of great information. Thank you for doing these types of videos. It helps out the whole community.

[@BrysComics]

Thank you!

[@leeniren3706]

Thank you for the information is very helpful when I next one to submit comics

[@brianvera3563]

I love this topic! I am always trying to figure out which books I should send to get graded. Thanks for the insight brother!

[@marvinablog2198]

Thank you for the great tips about picking out 9.8's. It was very helpful.

[@zachbrobst9473]

This is exactly the video I've been waiting to see 🙌

[@marvelblackredandthunder2823]

Awesome detail on how to screening books. Thanks, man. Cheers.

[@brucecarter5520]

A great clip for us newbies who think we know everything! Thanks for the great tips!!!

[@Talking_Comics]

Very valuable info here, definitely earned a like and I'm very much looking forward to the release of the playlist you mentioned

[@BrysComics]

It’s up! 👍

[@oliverortiz8507]

An excellent master class of a video. Such amazing growth on your part in this hobby and spec instructional video. Your channel has definitely become a cannot miss one.

[@BrysComics]

Thank you so much!

[@toomworld]

Collector disease must be making the rounds, because I’m back! It’s been a while, but the past year and a half has hit me harder than ever. New to your channel, but loving it.

[@BrysComics]

Welcome my friend!

[@CollectorAuctions]

Great tips. I'm slowly following you on this path and have learned a lot watching your videos.

[@ratedrawr1411]

- Great stuff Bry, Definitely informative, Very well done vid!!!

[@tristanrujano]

I just went to a comic shop for the first time yesterday! I also have some comics coming back from CGC in 2 months I'm excited!

[@jkdashnaw4724]

This video is super informational, and honestly, very helpful! Thanks, dude, for another awesome video.

[@kylerjohnson6110]

Another great video! Super informative and visual

[@ericwilson9331]

I am loving this channel.. The 9.8 screening examples were very helpful in seeing what is allowed and now I need to learn how to press! Great video again

[@flamarjr2000]

Your videos are always valuable. Ty!

[@MrSuperduper5000]

It would also be super helpful to show the books after pressing them to really see what 9.8s look like when they're ready to submit

[@BrysComics]

Noted!

[@jeffredenius6846]

Thank you, Bryan, great information.

[@LiquidWeapon]

Another outstandingly informative video. Haven't seen one of this nature done better. I would add that if you're not doing this for fun (i.e.as more of a side business), then you have to calculate your time investment as part of the costs. My cut-off rule in determining what to send is pretty well the same as yours and I first check for three red flags: 1) Current selling prices being below $75; 2) Market saturation (i.e.how much selling competition will I have); and 3) Subjective sense of general interest (would anyone want to buy this and if not, am I ok with having the book in my PC).

[@reichertcomics3233]

Your tips are valuable. Thank you!

[@BrysComics]

That’s it exactly!

[@b917]

Thanks for the insight into the cgc world of comics!

[@TheFcastle129]

As always awesome video Bry!!

[@comicbookcountdown9252]

I have a decent-sized collection but have never sent anything in to be graded, so being able to see your process for choosing potential 9.8 candidates is very helpful. Thanks for making this video.

[@Kells_Comics]

I’ll be getting some comics cleaned and pressed and sent out soon! Thanks for the videos!

[@joshuarogers8423]

Great video again! Always good information

[@greatpix]

As always, a very informative video! I've got all my books I bought from 1975 to 1996 sitting in short boxes that fill 1/4 of my living room, and still don't have them all bagged and boarded yet. I've sent a dozen out for dry cleaning and grading. Most have come back 9.6 - 9.8 but a few were in the lower 9s. I'm still learning to spot defects and pick the top ones. I'm waiting for cooler weather to put up some tables in the garage and get them all sorted by title. The good thing on these old books I bought for less than cover price is that my ROI is really good.

[@BrysComics]

Orrrrr, I can come down there with a u haul and buy the whole lot!

[@greatpix]

@@BrysComics Sorry, I'm getting them graded and selling them myself. When I get down to the ones not worthwhile to get graded I'll have a garage sale or start selling them in lots on eBay or IG.

[@toddwood3634]

Great video, part of the reason CGC is backed up so badly is everyone is sending in every book they own for grading. Here in a couple years their will be a ton of cheap 9.8 slabs!

[@BrysComics]

Very true

[@timdayton9366]

Great stuff. I have like three flashlights I look over my books before I send them in.

[@team_timmy]

some really great tips, thanks

[@canyoudigit6080]

Great video bry keep up the good work

[@Kevtm10]

Great content sir! Thank you for all you do for the Comic book community!

[@themadrespect7740]

Always fascinating tips & info my friend! Finally scored my copy of SIKTC #2 for the PC for $15 under current buy it now offers! Now only need #5 to finish my run

[@BrysComics]

Congrats!!

[@timaaae9626]

..another very informative vid. Keep it up Bry. Appreciate you content, effort, and topics. I make sure to not miss any. :)

[@BrysComics]

🙏🏻💯

[@Hjyeroc]

Thanks for this. I signed up for a cgc membership and am looking over what to send.

[@c0tt0nm0uth9]

You do wonders for the community. Love watching your videos bro.

[@williamsantana6594]

Thank you for the information I appreciate it that was so knowledgeable.

[@christianrankin3345]

Thank you for the great information!!

[@ryanthered4254]

Great video! I recently bought my own press but it takes a bit to get the hang of it. I’m just now getting confident enough to submit some books on my own (previously been sending to a presser). This video helps validate that I’m on the right page. Thanks again dude!

[@BrysComics]

Sounds like you’re definitely on the right track!

[@soupyzz]

GREAT video! I have been wondering which ones to send in to CGC and which ones to sell raw. This is a great breakdown. Thank you!

[@manchu2007]

This was outstanding. It will definitely help me out in the long run. Thanks for this.

[@charlesstewart9508]

I appreciate the tips. Wasn't sure what to send from my collection.

[@davecironelibrarykid]

Great breakdown Bryan! New collectors get hyped so easily and then crash when the ROI is so low.

[@MILESTONEStudio]

Thanks for the great video! I've been dying for a good "grading" video. More please. :) Keep up the good work, and stay safe, Papa Bear!

[@Kolectivz]

I needed this video in my life thank you.

[@jarrediverson6478]

Thanks for all the great info

[@ottomasaya6226]

Very useful knowledge. Thanks!

[@camposgregd]

I've seen a few of your videos so far... Great video and good info to know. I am learning and gathering information as I haven't submitted to CGC yet as a longtime collector but with quite a few books that I have that are keys and definitely worth submitting. I don't know anything about pressing which is new to me and I will do more research on it. Thanks!

[@BrysComics]

Good luck! And thanks for watching

[@scottdoss1895]

Great info! Not wanting to flip but have a few I want graded and put in my own collection.

[@andrewpayette621]

Thanks a lot for the info. It's been a lot of help.

[@mingaling72]

Appreciate you bro! Great info for someone about to step up to his first submission!!

[@FourNinjaToads]

Great video! Very insightful.

[@BrysComics]

Thanks buddy

[@geraldbracete3197]

Great content. Great stuff as always! Thanks.

[@best9642]

Great video, I enjoyed the content you put together, it was the bomb.

[@MrGooseman19]

Very good and informative video. Just getting back into the hobby and love these kind of videos. Keep up the great work homie!

[@slotapop4448]

Great video, learned a lot. Thanks

[@avishah8896]

The 9.8 candidate tips really help

[@danielarriola350]

Thank you for doing these videos. It’s very informative and as a comic collector very interesting.

[@bigpolishguy256]

Very informative and smart philosophy regarding what to slab.

[@Tragiksouls]

This hobby is starting to get more and more expensive over the years. Just saying that when I was a kid, I had a decent collection and even for me being a kid who bought all my books by doing yard work for my neighborhood and shoveling snow for the same people, it didn't seem to cost nearly as much as it does today lol. Guess I need to get smarter with how I do it is all. Love the channel man!

[@BrysComics]

Very true!

[@justinholmes7028]

That bit about income tax was funny. Thank you for sharing some knowledge.

[@melissarosie366]

Just ordered my first bundle from your website- I’m stoked to get House of Slaughter 1 pack!

[@BrysComics]

Woot woot! 🙌💯

[@olrac9727]

I placed an order for House of Slaughter on your site. Keep up the great videos!

[@BrysComics]

🙌🙏🏻💯

[@anthonycerca49]

Love your videos...very helpful!

[@iranirenberg]

Well done. Very professional.

[@MrMilesmorales]

Glad to watch this vid, nice job bry...

[@cwwheelz]

Excellent breakdown. I think you're right about being truthful to yourself about the real, total costs of everything involved.

[@mattsheehy4428]

Still need that silk cameo!!!

[@ryandunbar1961]

I can’t wait to get some of my comics graded. I have some that are super limited print

[@Kolectivz]

What's your number 1 comic to get graded?

[@ryandunbar1961]

@@Kolectivz my fathers copy of either the first appearance of Thor in journey into mystery or the first appearance of beta ray bill in mighty Thor 337. It I also got a few things of samurai of oz. not mainstream stuff but limited in copies.

[@Kolectivz]

I feel that I've been looking for 337 for so long. Not sure which ones of mine I should get graded tho.

[@l333.entertainment]

great tutorial session!

[@josephthomas3953]

Great info! Thanks!
