People grading obviously just want to grade to increase value, but most of the people who want to buy these cards aren't interested in artificially inflated costs due to a PSA slab.
Thanks for the response, but my post wasn't aimed at the anti-grading crowd.

I'm not anti-grading.

I'm about smart grading.

Not every new card needs to be slabbed. Know your market, know when putting a card in a slab is truly the best thing to do.

You said you were new to Marvel collecting, many of us are not. Most Marvel card collectors don't want graded cards - that's still a game mainly for the sports crowd or newer collectors.

It sounds like you already selected a bunch of cards to get graded, not really sure what further info you're looking for?

Ah, right, I forgot about COMC's buying modes. I have my profile set to Advanced Reselling Mode, so I see prices for resellers (without shipping and other fees built in). For example, as I post this the cheapest Jessica Jones #140 I see is $0.04 in Advanced Reselling Mode. It is $0.59 otherwise.

The prices may be different based on which mode you have your COMC profile set to but the basic point is the same: many high series and gold Spider-Man Metal cards are priced as low as similar X-Men Metal cards despite being more expensive to buy.

EDIT: The first e-Pack exclusive Neon Green Light FX parallel has hit COMC: Hulk #33 listed at $500.

Gold prices have also fallen a ton and e-Pack exclusive Neon Blue Light FX prices have absolutely collapsed now that multiple people have transferred cards to COMC.

I realize many people only care about hits but I expected sellers and buyers to adjust to the higher e-Pack price. Instead, it is a true race to the bottom. The cheapest Spider-Man Metal gold are approaching the cheapest X-Men Metal gold prices.

I haven't been tracking grandiose or numbered parallels, no clue if prices for those are falling as well.

Link please!! I can not find these prices on COMC

See my above post. I'm in Advanced Reselling Mode which means I see much lower prices for cards but can't use the flat shipping option.

I'm new to marvel collecting. Is this thread one of the bigger communities? Haven't found many online.

Anyways, tried my luck on epack but got nothing notable in 6 packs.

Found 2 retail blasters and found a sketch card by Jeffrey Benitez

Who to grade with, and who to avoid with Marvel cards.

Wow! Spider-ham is proving to be quite popular in this set … it’s his first PMG set. Wonder what that ends up going for? $10k plus?

With the number of retail boxes out, I can't imagine the physical base low, high, grandiose, gold series will end up costing much. I don't think there's 10, 20, 30+ thousand set collectors out there.

Yep agree. Those cards will essentially be at the levels of mass-produced 90s Marvel cards (not quite the same, but close)

Exactly...sell now. The Ultra Rare will hold, but everything else is going to drop

And yours looks to be in nice shape… A lot of PMGs are coming out scuffed in this set.
