#UNCANNY 303 MYCOMICS PROFESSIONAL#
But I remembered how professional 3rd party grading from reputable companies like NGC had changed the coin collecting market and I believed the same thing would happen to comics. There were a lot of dealers and collectors who scoffed and treated them as a novelty. I remember when CGC first started grading comics. “I collected coins with my dad when I was a kid and he taught me to appreciate high-grade items. But I also enjoyed Valiant books and silver age Disney books and sketch covers,” Nelsen said.
I focused on bronze and copper Marvel books because that is what I enjoyed and could afford. “I’ve enjoyed reading comics my whole life, but I didn’t really begin collecting comics until the new X-Men launched in 1975.
“Whenever a comic collector was introduced to Steve Nelsen, worldsbestcomics on the CGC Boards, they would frequently ask, ‘Do you have the world’s best comics?’ And he would smile and reply, ‘I have some of them.’ Boy, is that the truth,”Schmell said. Amazingly, every issue in the collection that is not a 9.8 is a 9.9 or a 10.0,” he said.Īccording to Schmell, the consignment comes out of Washington state and the CGC Registry Set and Award-Winning collection of Steve Nelsen, an X-Men and Wolverine enthusiast and collector who is well known on the CGC boards under his handle, “worldsbestcomics.”
