Agreed. I have 20 Saga books that are graded, purely for investment and one that is a reader.

Milo Manara. He's doing a bunch of variants for Marvel Now. He has a Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Storm cover coming out. They're also being released in poster form too.
These are the other two that have been released so far. I don't expect these to go up in value. I just love Manara's art style, not so much his porn stuff. I wish he did more main stream comic book work.

i just shipped off 4 more today. the only thing that gets me about the grading is the turnaround (always do fast track). granted, I'm sure they have literally thousands of books coming in each day, so, thats expected. just tough waiting. today i sent in a few TWD books (#108 and #61), a Clone #1, and a surprisingly brilliant copy of a '91 Magnus Robot Fighter #1. i do have a large stack of books set aside to send in, just doesn't hurt the bank account when i do a few at a time rather than all at once.
my first submission was 20 books from my TWD run. i sent in 1-15, 19, 2x 27, and 2x 53 (hoping Abraham shows up on the show at some point). 12 out of 20 came back 9.8 which was awesome, unfortunately, not #1. honestly, i can't find any flaws with it, but, apparently those CGC guys did. oh well. honestly, i think its worth more raw than graded. I've seen some raw copies of #1 selling for $2k on ebay. ridiculous.

CGC can ne inconsistant at times. I got a Spider-Woman #1 that they graded 9.8 that has a 1/8th inch tear to the back cover and I have a 9.4 of the same book that looks as clean minus the tear lol

well, today, finally have, IN HAND, my Invincible #1 graded a 9.8.
like moon knight said, the CGC inconsistency worries me a bit, i figure once its in the slab, thats that. my TWD #1 is crisper than the Invincible, but came back a 9.2. go figure. being that Invincible is my fav, this book will be in my collection forever. so, heres my humble CGC collection. having fun scoring books, trying to be particular in what i send in.
