With the acquisition of JSA, CGC will start authenticating signatures.  That service should start soon, if it hasn't already.  I'm sure someone else on the board knows more about the details on when you can submit for that service.

Looks to me like it is yet another re-posting of a collection of pics gathered from other places. We see this here from time to time, and it is almost always from people with very few prior posts. 

Yeah, that was sorta a rhetorical question but wanted to see what the OP had to say...

So are these your books or are you just posting various mistakes by CGC from the interwebs...?  

Thoughts on this copy of FF 30.  Thanks all!

Last one for today.  Thanks all!

Another early FF.  It's complete with no missing pieces.

Thanks all!

2 bullseye and 5 total - better than the last round at least.

On a side note, I thought for a bit that the Next Men was mine.  I recently submitted one and it got a 9.4 also, but it looks like a different one.

After the disaster of the second round, I find a glimmer of hope in Mike's emoji to my round 3 submittal.  We shall see...

An absolutely brutal round for me...  By far my worst round ever.  

Haven't read the whole thread, so this one may very well have been posted already, but Avengers 35 with one of the biggest goofs in Marvel's history.

I do have your grades.  They are not recorded yet, as I like to have at least a half dozen or so before getting set up and recording them.

Thanks!  Just wanted to make sure!

2 people have submitted their grades in the last 12 hours.  

Mike - have you gotten mine?  Sent it prior to your post and have yet to receive an acknowledgment.  

1 bullseye, 5 points total.  

More Dave Stevens goodness...

gpanalysis.com for slabbed books.  It's a subscription site though.

About as expected.  Grader notes: light spine stress lines to cover; moderate foxing to cover.

What a beauty!  Congrats!

In!

I've sent 40-50 books in since June and so far haven't had an Newton rings (or other issues for that matter).  

I don't know that I wouldn't buy an issue without staples, but it certainly wouldn't be something that I would go out of my way to find.  Like comicginger said, I don't think it's something that most people would pay a premium for.

It would be considered a manufacturing error and should not be counted against the grade.
