- It appears to me that there's no possibility to set the value of graded comics. Apparently there's no way to get it via the website, but there's also no possibility to insert it manually! Would it be possible to at least make the Value button editable if the book is slabbed?

- There is actually a lot of debate on this...if a 9.4 graded sells for $x then shouldn't that be the value of ALL 9.4's regardless of whether they are slabbed or not? Maybe a small premium like $30-50 for the process?

Yup. It's only worth what a person is willing to pay for it. Personally, I would never buy a slabbed book. I've always found raw mint copies of the books I'm searching for and it's a whole lot less.

- I think that for a graded book you pay for the following:
- the actual book with some grade
- the grading process (let's say 20-30$)
- the fact that you don't have to wait 3-6-9 months for book to return from grading
- the fact that grading is done by a third party
So it makes sense they are worth more - I would say generally + 60-80$ compared to the normal book. If the difference for the graded book is more than 60-80$ I won't buy it.

- Let's say that the consensus is that a graded book on average would have a premium of $30 attached to it. What happens if a certain number of graded books for a specific issue are selling for an average price of $25. Does that mean an ungraded copy of the same book in the same condition is worth -$5, or devalues your collection by $5?

- i have about 50 CGC slabbed books. i just add a note in the notes section to indicate that. i have paid over the value of a raw book that has been slabbed i put the price i paid in and it shows it at a loss.. oh well i have signed books in the SS CGC the book itself is only worth $15 but i paid 80 so in my collection is show a 65 dollar loss. i know when i go to sell it what i paid and what i need to sell it for. doesnt bother me

you also run into issues with cgc vs cbcs...cgc seems to be more popular and more valuable to collectors then cbcs...
not to mention i feel pricing for graded books is kinda all over the map...hard to get a fix on it unless pricing is broken down and editable by grade...rough lol
