Well, can't say I wasn't surprise,

but overall I am happy with the outcome.

I knew ASM 129 would not merit a 8.5 because of the top staple, paper worn. I actually expected a 7.5.

FF 48, was what I expected and pleasantly surprised.

Inc Hulk 181, after carefully examining my scan of it I figure it too would not grade above 8.5.

Journey Into Mystery 85, was to me a shocker. Besides the piece missing in the lower right corner, the cover was somewhat wrinkled. But not enough to have color breaks. I estimated this one at a 5.0 and it came back at a 6.5.

Now while we all like to have high grades, to me being only a little over a year in collecting CGC books and passing 100 slabs, having them signed by my favorite artist is extremely rewarding and priceless.

Maybe one day I'll have the courage like some of you out there to crack open a high grade book to have it signed, just hope that it keeps its' grade.

Thanks for reading
