or...a kid in a candy store! I'm excited

Well - this is my first journal and my first attempt at getting 9.8's back from CGC with my own submissions. After being frustrated with looking and finding little books on eBay to add to my sets I found 16 books from my personal collection that I thought would have an awesome chance at getting the 9.8 grade. Well, I submitted them and 4 weeks later they arrive and low and behold 15 of the 16 came back as 9.8's!!! The one 9.6, after intense scrutiny, did have a flaw that I missed, unfortunately - so I can see how it didn't meet the grade. I have neglected to mention that I didn't cheat and look online at the grades before they arrived - I felt like a kid at Christmas opening the box and looking at each slab one by one to see that nearly all were 9.8's!!!

All I can say is, I can't wait until I can find more books from my collection to submit - I must have more 9.8's!!! Someday, maybe, I'll even get a 9.9...a guy can dream, can't he???

PS - the best part is - one of the books was from 1985 - there were only 2 9.8's in the registry for it and I submitted it on a whim (thinking it'd come back a 9.6) and it even made the 9.8 grade (now there are 3)!

It's a great day for me - thank you CGC!!!

Sensei Ryan out!
