Submitting comics for grading for the first time!

Aloha everyone!

I've been on the CGC Collector's Society since 2008 but I'm only submitting comics for grading for the first time this month.

My primary set of interest is the DC Comics Bicentennial: 33 comics in 1976 that had a red, white, and blue banner at the top. I've been able to buy 21 of the issues in high grade through various auctions but haven't seen the remaining 12 anywhere that I need to complete the collection.

So, I thought, what the heck. I scooped up four supposedly high grade issues through several eBay sellers and figured I'd get them CGC'd myself.

Crossing my fingers that each at least gets a 9.0. While I prefer white pages, I'm not adverse to either off-white or off-white to white. I'll be bummed though if they get graded lower :-(

Nevertheless, I'm excited for this first-time experience and thought I'd also jump into the forums too!

On a closing note, is it immoral to mail DC comics in a box that has a Marvel character on it?

P.S. How do I get a CGC signature to appear at the bottom? I tried copying and pasting the code but that doesn't work.
