My first experience having books slabbed was a pure 10!

Today the the first three books I sent to CGC fir grading were delivered. I have to say that the experience was a smooth one and that I am very happy with the service.

Out of curiosity I called customer service to get the graders notes and the representitive not only took me through the list of items used in grading my books but also took the time to discuss grading in general! As a collector I was interested in seeing what CGC stresses in their grading process and as a consumer I wanted to be able to make good choices about what I consider worth sending in the future.

The books I had graded were Adventure Comics # 277, FF #1 GRR and Superman Annual #1. The first two graded 6.0 and the Annual at 5.0. I was pleased to see that they were all within a half grade of my own assessment.

Lastly I had heard some horror stories about turn around times but CGC hit the deadline to the day! I am looking forward to submitting a bigger batch of books at NYCC next week!
