TOP TIPS FOR BUYING GOLDEN AGE COMICS

Based on my 30 years of collecting (and selling) Golden Age geics here are my top tips for buying them on okayBuy CGC geics if you're viewing the geic as an investment.If the geic isn't certified, "certify" the seller. Carefully check his feedback and the feedback he's left for others. No matter what, make sure there's a return policy that's as generous as possible. You just never know what can happen enroute to the geic getting to you, or the seller may have missed something such as a cracked or badly scratched CGC case.Ask questions BEFORE you bid. You should do this not only to make sure you undesrtand gepletely what you're buying but also to get a feel for what kind of seller you're dealing with. Is he responsive, or is the type of seller who views answering emails as a bother.Be sure you understand and are gefortable with the shipping charges. They range all over the place for Golden Age geics. Sure they require extra protection, but if the seller is charging $15.00 or more I would question his ethics. He may view S H as a way to pad his profit and reduce his okay fees. This is not to say there aren't honest dealers charging as much as $20.00. This can be justified if the seller has the item professionally packaged and ships it priority mail or better. Know the value of what you're buying. That means to check the Overstreet Price Guide but also check gepleted Listings on okay, as those listings are more current than Overstreet and reflect real world prices. Check the Heritage web site. Heritage is one of the great auction houses for coins but they hold a lot of auctions for geics also (including many on okay). Their database (just google Heritage geics) provides data on every geic the've sold and it's likely they've sold the one you're thinking of buying or one like it.
