    Do you plan to take your books home with you when you return, or is half the fun the fact that visiting your folks also means reuniting with your comic books?

    It was always the latter for me. 

    I'm going through the boxes and pulling out a shortbox worth of keys to take with me but that's it. There's waaay too many boxes here for me to take back with me and I don't have the room anyway. If anything I should be bringing books back here... comics are literally taking over my apartment.

    >9.0. Anecdotally, this is a book they are harder on than others at least the direct edition. Mine came back at least 2 grades lower than expected. Notes and appearance are consistent with other books with the higher grades. Seems to happen with some books that get submitted a lot. Lots of comps to help pick apart the tiniest defects.

    This is good to know. I have this same book and I'm gonna submit it soon. Definitely going to submit it with a pre-screen so it doesn't comeback in a disappointing grade. I agree that the O.P.'s book is at LEAST a 9.4 as is and with a Clean and press it could go higher.

    The decade doesn't matter as long it's the same grading tier. Modern is 1975 and later with a value under $400.

    Thanks for the response. i've heard some folks say that they have better luck when submitting books from the same decade and was wondering if anyone else had that experience. I wasn't talking about the different tiers... I should have been clearer.

  4. Hguys still making my way through my boxes at my parents house and came across this one. Read the HELL out of this back in the day as you can see. This book came out before I was born so I must've bought it at a comic store when I was a kid. Loved fights between these two and hopefully we'll see them slug it out on the big screen at some point. What do you think this would grade at? 1.5? 2.0? What say you? I promise I have better looking books than this! :nyah:

  5. I've submitted to CGC three times and about to send in my fourth submission. I typically submit at least five books per order and right now I've tried to submit books from the same decade at least. Haven't sent anything older than 2000 in yet by I have some books from the 90's, 80's, 70's and even a couple from the 60's that I want to submit. Is it wise to keep the submissions for each order to be around the same time period or does it not matter? What say you?
