Extreme Shadow Box?  Depends how much you want to spend.  It's cool.

Yeah, I think it's very cool too.  I have not considered a shadow box, good idea.

Keep all of your photos of the interior.  They can be helpful when selling.

Good call, I definitely am. Glad I took them all.

That is one nice looking 1.0.  I think the grade is right.  Congrats on the Blue Label.

Thank you,  I was very very please to say the least.

Looks about right to me. Congratulations!!!

Thanks, appreciate it!

I seriously love everything about this room. The way its all displayed, the content and everything on the walls; nicely done!

Fresh back from CGC!  Since some of you took the time to comment on this awhile back, thought I would share the grade.

"But your LCS can tell you something. Ask them directly when they mailed it  and what tracking says as to the package's location. IF the package has been delivered to CGC, ask them to log into their CGC dealer portal and see what the status of the book is. If the package has been delivered to CGC but the book is not showing on their portal, then it's still in the box waiting for CGC's receiving status to open it. If the book is in CGC's tracking system, the dealer will see the current status."

This entire answer is outstanding, and i will take this paragraph's action...errrr....tomorrow as they are closed today.  Dang it!  Tony, thank you for taking the time for the detailed, specific response for a newbie submitter, I very much appreciate it!
 

Hello, 

I saw something similar to my question, but not exactly the same so thought I would ask to be sure.

I submitted my low grade AF 15 to CGC for grading through a very reputable shop that has been in business for over 25 years. The highest tier (to my limited understanding at least) takes the shortest amount of time, right? It's only been about two weeks, but my main concern is that they said CGC does not give them a status update; is that true? I don't know why,  but I just assume they gave updates, maybe not...

By the way, my 300th post! It only took me 11 years lol!

Depending on the situation, based on CGC's website, this might get a Restored or even a Conserved label. Possibly even a Qualified?

Yeah... definitely pre-screen. This is the Marvel Holy Grail of books... you wanna know.

Please excuse my ignorance here...regardless of what they tell me if I prescreened the book, I would still want to submit anyways, right? Is the purpose of the prescreen just a "heads up" kind of thing?

If you're concerned, have them pre-screen it for restoration. Then you'll know beforehand for sure.

Good idea, thanks. I have of course purchased plenty of CGC comics but have never submitted any. I am quite literally a CGC submitter "newb".

It doesn't look like a restoration.  Probably you will get the blue label with a note saying tape on the page.

Thank you. Even though they are replaced, newer staples? I will submit regardless, but just trying to set the right expectation for myself.

Can you show us the staples on the spine outside?

Sure, hope this helps.

Hello, trying to school myself on the ways of CGC before submitting. My AF is complete, all pages intact and pretty nice, but one of the main issues is it looks like the staples have been replaced (along with tape on spine and right edge). Will this then be a restored, purple label?

Wanted to share the latest addition to my comic room nerd cave. Hard to see unless you zoom in, but these are pretty rare Marvel Comics Tazos from Argentina, 1980. Decided to frame em up!

Please explain exactly what this is, who made it, and why those particular images!  There must be a pretty cool story here.

No story really.  These are simply 6 Third Eye postcard reproductions of their famous blacklight posters they did, matted and framed for display

Great price!  Reproductions are selling for $350 and yours is in great shape!

Thank you.  I was very very lucky on this one.  The guy posted it on Craigslist, and he was right down the road from where I worked at the time.  $50, all original parts including the legs, no rust.  I was stoked beyond belief!  Subsequently someone offered me $400 and I said nope, lol; keeping this.

That’s a great score @Badlands!

Thank you sir!

Nice list, thanks for sharing! I have either had it and sold it or currently own...all but one.

Small world! I used to live in Lodi way back in the day!

Thank you. I imagined there would be something like this out there, I just didn't know where. 

Hello. This may be a silly question, I don't know, but can anyone tell me if CGC typically sets up at Wizard World con (specifically in Cleveland) for submissions?
