Or Surfe99 has more control than me

I sent two books to CGC via the Baltimore comic con. In total I used six different invoices. The majority of these were for the signature series, or maybe 91.3% would be better. Two of the books happened to be the Joker 3D variant of Batman 23.1. I am using these in the hopes I can train myself to flip comic books.

I looked these over as best I could and being as hard on these books as I am on the books I previously purchased as a 9.8,I graded them for what I saw and deducted points anyway. I would rather be pleasantly surprised rather than mildly disappointed.

I knew one would be a 9.8, while the other I was thinking a 9.6. I even thought about not turning them over at all. The money I used to get two books graded under the universal label could have gone towards a signature series book. I also had the upcoming NYCC to get ready for.

After what felt like no time at all, the books were finally graded and marked as shipped. I didn't read these comic books. I bought them for the sole reason to sell and I knew getting a 9.6 on one would be a disaster. This disaster was averted when I looked immediately at the results. One book lingered at the coveted 9.8, but the other one became my first 9.9 I ever submitted, look out New mutants submissions, here I come.

Thanks for Reading
