What I did with my CGC membership credit this year!

Grade is in!! Sorry it has been so long, I forgot I was going to update you all. I had CCS press it, hoping to squeeze a 9.8 but I love it!!

These cost me $7 at the flea today. Had no clue the Voodoo on the right was a $30+ book. I just knew I had never seen it and it was a buck. 

That GR28 looks pretty nice too!

Dolla dolla bill yalll! I really like this cover. Not a huge key or anything but a NM copy that I did not have. I love my LCS!

Pretty book! Congrats!

Sent this one in for a Sam De la Rosa signature and a C&P/grade! I will post the results this summer probably

It's a little rough. I was looking for a nice Spidey 2099 #1 and got this and a Spider-Man #13 all together on Ebay for a decent price.

I love that Cover! Nice copy

Be careful opening the book that much…could cause a mild spine roll that are more difficult to remove with foil covers.

9.6…

Good tip. Thanks ! 

Bought this new 29 years ago. I read it once or twice and my son did too about 10 or so years after that. Has a bump on RFC next to Part ONE OF SIX. 

Sorry about the sideways pics. I will figure it out eventually.

The manufacturing page issue should not matter. Would maybe keep a book from 9.8. This one is hard to tell, looks like some light wear bottom of spine. It's a book that you need to make sure no spine ticks in person. I see one fairly noticeable one behind Venom back. 

For me 9.2-9.4 safely

The tick near Venoms back is the only one. I have never had any books pressed. Do you think pressing would get rid of that tick?

Hello folks. New guy here. Bought most of my comics new back when the kids were babies. Just had my first 6 comics graded, unfortunately before finding this thread. Spawn 1 and Morbius: The Living Vampire 1 got the best grades at a 9.6. X-Men Adventures 1 came back with the low grade at 7.5. I think pressing may have helped. Especially with the X Men book as the grader notes read "light bends to cover, light creasing to cover and light spine stress lines to cover". Can you please let me know what you think of this one. There is a bend in spine on FC, a bump on the TRFC and BRBC. The early and late pages are good but the pages leading to the centerfold have some type of manufacturing damage on the bottom, I think, as well as folding on the top of the left pages that are also near the centerfold. Do you think pressing would help? Thanks
