I thought they were all supposed to be signed. Guess this one got away from Todd.

So I have one of the Spawn 350 one per store editions signed by McFarlane. I am waiting for the new CGC service to authenticate the signature otherwise I assumed it would lead to a green qualified label due to the unwitnessed signature in marker on cover. I just checked the census now and it has 5 books graded as qualified (as expected) but there is one blue universal grade given out. How can that be for an issue that I assumed was only released with MacFarlane’s signature on it. Were there any released without a signature? How can any of these books receive a blue label?

Boy if this one book of yours is drek, what would that make my 4 connecting covers each with its own cassette? I think they are pretty special.

I bet even the extremely talented Alex Ross would say that Kirby is the king. Kirby is the inspiration for so many of Ross’s work.

When you submit, don’t you enter the name and issue # of each book? Doesn’t CGC use that as a starting point? They should verify that what the submitter put in matches the book. Did they purposefully change the issue number? Or did the submitter possibly get it wrong? I always check to make sure the info is put in the system correctly using the submission tracking before it even gets to grading.

I could understand that price maybe if it had 457 with it.😆

He said in the first post that he stopped getting new books in 2012, so I’m waiting to see if he got an Ultimate Fallout 4 and any variants. What a great find that would be. Good luck.

I’m surprised they haven’t released the homage cover to ASM #300 with Miles on the cover. Maybe it will be a super secret surprise variant retailer thank you foil version, limited to only 100,000. Wish they could write the books as well as the movies are written.

Not too sure about this. I own all 5 series that Miles has starred in and when I add them up it only comes to just about 130 books. Are they trying to use the Bendis Ultimate Spider-Man run of 160 issues that Miles didn't even appear in to try to reach issue #300? They must also be adding some miniseries in there also like Spider-Men I and II to get to #300. I was wondering how ASM started in 1963 and took until 1988 (25 years) to reach #300, while Miles could do it in only 13 years. His first book started in 2011. Does anyone else think it’s not right to use the Miles-less Bendis run to reach this impressive number and call the book Miles Morales’ 300th issue? The article here is from Marvels site and where the writer says it’s surreal to write Miles’ 300 issue. Just feels like a bit of a stretch to me. I thought this would be a fitting topic for my own 300th post here. 🙄

I trust Michael Keaton who said in both the original Batman movie and in the Flash movie….”I’m Batman.” Not I’m The Batman.

1:100 for both Ultimate Spider-Man 1 & 2

So obviously this one is already graded but I’m thinking about buying it and I’m curious to see if everyone agrees with the grade given. I will add the graders notes in also to help you guys out. I’m a bit worried about the light staining on the front spine. CGC just hit my ASM 121 really hard for foxing. Do you think this is foxing or just a stain/dirt? It says it was graded in 2013 so a lot has changed with CGC since then. Maybe they grade much tougher on those small stains? Is this the type of book everyone is looking to do CPR to improve the book or is it the one that will come back with a lower grade if I try CPR? Thanks for any input. I’ll put the given grade out in a few days after I get some responses. Sorry the pictures aren’t as clear as I’d like but they’re all I have.

And I know CCS’ pressing services don't get a lot of credit around here, but here’s the result from my USM 1. I’m not a big collector like a lot of you and when I’ve submitted books, they are my books that I bought off the shelf. So this book, I must have read about 20 times and I obviously drew a line on something that was on this book causing an indentation. I knew I wouldn’t get a 9.8, but I submitted it because it’s my own book. You can see how they really reduced the indentation to the point where you cant see it from straight ahead anymore. You have to hold it up to the light. So I’m thrilled to get a 9.6 on this one. And I can’t believe my Web of Spiderman got a 9.8 after sitting in a shoe box under my bed for the first 10 years before it even saw a Mylar bag and another 20 years before it met a backing board. And it was also read many many times.
