It's like Christmas out here!

Another order graded! Well, this order was my CS coupon order,so it's only been 3 weeks since they were sent to CGC and with that, there is some good news and some not so good news.

I purchased 2 older books from qscomics, Venus 1 & Tales To Astonish 44, both of which graded lower than advertised. I also sent the shop an email lettting them know of the results, as I think it's important that you inform sellers of their grading ability. I try to include that I'm not suggesting they do it on purpose or anything, but that I'll have to take my experience into consideration if I'm going to purchase from them again.

Venus 1 graded a 2.5, was advertised 3.5 & the Tales To Astonish 44 graded 3.0, while being advertised as a 4.0.

The one thing that really sticks out to me after this is my foundness for the seller who undergrades. Oh, I love you! There is nothing more exciting than a book coming in higher than anticipated. Which leads me to my good news.

I was originally looking for 4 older books to send in with my coupon, but I limited it to the two and threw in my second copy of New Mutants Annual 2 and a Ms Marvel 45, the Djurdjevic variant cover.

The Ms Marvel 45 came in a 9.8 and was another one of my "self imposed" gradings. I think I'm getting better at this! The New Mutants Annual was my second NM (9.4) online purchase... (You may remember my other copy came in at a disappointing 8.5) - well, this time I got a 9.6, so I am quite happy with that!

Anyway, I'll end this was a special SHOUT OUT to the undergrader, you brings smiles to faces of your customers, please, keep it up!
