The thing people keep getting wrong about Silver Age comics

I keep seeing new collectors say Silver Age comics are easy to find in high grade because so many were printed. But they forget newsstands trashed these things in the 60s. I picked up a raw Amazing Spider-Man #50 from 1967 at a shop in Portland last month and it looked like someone used it as a coaster for a month. If you want a 9.0 copy of that book you're looking at $2000 plus, not the $300 you see for beat up ones.

Are you buying slabbing just to crack them open for reading copies?

Hundred bucks in slab fees says they look better cracked open on my shelf.
