Please add me to the list. Thanks for giving early notice. I was fasting from comics for a week.

Since so many people are chasing 9.8's maybe we should call the current age the Plastic Age.

It's the part of your childhood that is hard to give up. The Comic art style is just something that I really enjoy. It's been absorbed into our current culture. And then I think about the work put into making just one book. A whole team of people working together not just to earn a paycheck, but to put out quality work that people can enjoy. I always look back at that Claremont/Byrne/Austin run and wonder how they kept up such quality work for so many years. And there have been so many others. Part of the enjoyment is finding the others.

Thanks to everyone that stayed and never gave up, despite the odds! This was a fun learning experience for me, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

I thought I was grading too harshly, so I added one grade up this round. I still graded too harshly. but only 5 points this round.

As is, it looks to be 7.5-8.0. A press should bring it to 8.5 maybe 9.0.

No Bullseyes for me yet. Three off by .5 one off by 1 And that NM killed me. I thought that corner crease killed it and I graded it 7.5.

Sounds like another Whatnot seller.

I guess it depends on if you like hulk's elbow better than Wendigo's elbow.

Now I feel the need to search ebay for the elusive blue car. Darn you Beyonder!!

The first and last book hit me the most. I thought the tear on Red Raven would keep it from going higher than a 3.0. Live and learn, I guess.

Yeah, this first round was a little tricky for me too. You and I can compete for last place

I'm leaning towards 8.0.

Please add me. I will try to make my mom proud!

I think of it as the LuLaRoe of the comic collector community. A gang of sellers competing with each other in a race that never ends.

Here's a few from my cursed closet.

To be honest, you can get a better copy for the price of a clean and press.

Thats ok. you can use an iron instead.

The books aren't sent out until they have received payment. The invoice is just for your records.

Someone is going to be angry that their Ren and Stimpy 1 was replaced by an X-men 137. I think CGC should be able to track your book by looking for the Ren and Stimpy 1 case that was sent out the same day. Let us know how and if this is resolved.

Last night they reported up to 2 million without power, but this morning there was a report of 50,000 people had their power restored. Hopefully, most power will be up within the next 48 hours. I hear they also expect some rivers to overflow as the storm heads north. Stay safe!

5.0

This is a nice glossy copy with very little wear along the spine. As is, I would say 7.5. With a clean and press I think it could reach 8.5. It depends on how hard they hit it for the corner wear.

This is another 9.6. Might make 9.8. Good luck!
