And OCC copies as well!

Up until now, the only Silver Age graded comics I've purchased have been Harvey books, and I've never submitted a Silver Age book from any publisher before..... until now.

After four and a half long months, I finally have a couple of books back in my hands!

These two OCC (original collection copy) books are very sentimental to me, because they are part of the collection that my father and I put together back in the 80s and 90s. Being that my father has passed on from this mortal coil, I have moved into CGC collecting as much in his memory as for my own interest.

He would have had a blast collecting books as CGC or just submitting tons and tons of our OCC books over the years. We had over 11,000 raw comics, a good 70 percent of which would have been worth submitting to CGC.

Alas, after my father passed, I was put in a position that required me to sell off the vast majority of our collection. I kept all of the duplicate issues we had and our entire run of Daredevil books, from #4 through #380! All in all, it was about 450 books.

When I went to Megacon this past March with my brother, I decided to take a couple of the early copies of my DD collection with me for Stan Lee to sign, since he was attending the show and I had never actually met him before.

The two books I ultimately decided on were #6 and #15. So it took them to the show, had Stan place his scrawl on them and turned them over to Desert Wind Comics to have them pressed and graded.

Well, here it is, four and a half months later and they are finally back!! So without further ado, here's how they came out:

Daredevil #6 - CGC SS 7.0 OW/W

Daredevil #15 - CGC SS 7.5 OW/W

These actually came out better than I thought they would. I had #6 at around a 6.0 and #15 at 6.5! Of course, that was before pressing. I've never pressed silver age books before, so I was unsure how much it might help them.

Anyway, I am very happy with these! There are currently only 5 SS copies of #6 graded higher than mine and only 4 SS copies of #15 graded higher than mine. That's pretty cool!!
