The Superman #78 holder came with horrible Newton Rings and scratch marks not visible in the photos. The Adventures of Superman #500 has several distracting inner well scuffs, no way to display such a pristine book.

Wish me luck, these books are going to Florida for grading.

These two are going to CCS first.

Good luck.

I just had to send two of my Adventures of Superman Platinum #500's back for Mechanical Error. ( Label Swap) 

Will probably be preparing another 25 books submission this next week.

Good luck on your next submission.

I need some good vibes from the CGC boards on this one.

I received this in today’s mail, purchased from an eBay seller who claims, “Comic that was owned by store owner. Never read - bagged and boarded upon receiving.”

The book is in amazing condition, I have just prepared it for it’s journey to CGC headquarters. I’m hoping this will become the first example to grade 9.8, currently the only other grade in the census is a lone 9.4.

I had previously purchased two other copies of this TPB, also on eBay, both of which were nice but looked like they could get 9.4 at best. I first got the idea to go after this book almost four years ago, when I picked up issue one of the series collected in the handsome TPB.

Good vibes!

Dr. Van Helsing, please bless this package and it’s contents.

Count Dracula, please watch over the transit of this parcel.

Definitely sending good vibes!!  Good luck, it looks like this is the one that WILL hit 9.8!!

Wait, whaaaaaaaaat? 

They were just received, maybe this is the part where it stays the same for the next several months.

There have been a few posts recently that have had some submissions just fly through the process.  Looks like you got lucky.  Congratulations!

Fingers crossed. I already have each of these issues in 9.8 but ain’t nothing like 9.8s you found in the wild and submitted yourself!

Then again, there could be something I missed or they come back restored. There are always lessons to be learned.

Always a possibility.

Wow!!  That’s great and FAST!  You know, I wonder if these got head of the line because you had grading credit from your Best Presented Set?  Whatever the reason for the brevity congrats!

Thank you so much!

I was wondering that also, I’ve never had a sub go so fast. I also have a few others submissions in queue, a ReHolder that’s scheduled for grading and a CCS sub marked as received. I also have a package (the Dracula TPB) that hasn’t been entered in yet.

They're back, and they're spectacular!

I'm really grateful for the Registry Award credit, this was my first grading submission since February, 2018. I'm also really grateful that the holders came back without inner well scuffing, Newton Rings - I don't know if that is still an ongoing problem or not - and that the books were placed inside wells that were just the right fit for the books. It's a big enough gamble submitting raw books, getting a good holder is another gamble all together. 

These books are a welcome back gift in a sense. With the Registry award credit I only had to pay for shipping. I already had all three of these books in 9.8 grade. I set aside these books in mylar because they looked so darn good, if not for the grading credit I would not have sent them in. 

I'm also grateful for the quick processing time on this particular submission, this one somehow flew through the system, with the longest part being the time the package sat in the CGC headquarters (one month) before being entered into their system as “Received.”

Agreed!  Really happy for you and you are right… the fact that you got them back so quick with great grades and perfect holders is really a gift.  Congrats!!
