I finally got the grades on my books from Heroes Con in Charlotte back in June. The grades overall are good I guess but I'm disappoInted with a few of them. I will post first what I thought they would grade, then the grade CGC gave them.

This is the first time I have received lower grades on books that were already graded before by CGC. I guess we as collectors all go through this at some point or other when submitting, but man it sucks.
A few notes on the books I sent, the Vengeance of Bane was a Christmas gift one year from my parents so I wanted to get it graded just for that reason. I knew it was not going to be a super high grade book. Also, the TOTZ was bought raw off of ebay. It was listed as 9.2 by the seller.
I'm still a little new to the CGC grading game but like I said, I guess overall I did ok. I will post photos when the books come in along with a few other CGC books I've gotten back recently.
Thanks guys
