Just had 8 Modern FT check in today from CCS. A little shy of 2 months.
So, lucky! I had to wait 2 months... And I'm going to be shipping 3 of those books back to CCS due to grader notes stating "lines from on font cover". UGH!

I think the ASM 25 cover might be a connecting cover. Look at the top left. There's a weird little half circle by the Marvel 25. At first I thought it was part of Black Cat, but the B cover has it as a completely different color than her clothing.
Now that you mention it, you could be right. I wonder what it could be connecting to?

That Jessica Jones cover is awesome!
Picked up my copies of ASM 25 unsigned set of 3. Hope you got yours too.

Right of the bat, I want to say that Frankie's packed the books real well. Unfortunately, the books are not in 9.8 shape. There are spine ticks and color breaks throughout the books. Some having more than 1 spine tick which breaks color. And you can see rubbing on another. Overall, these books require a press to maybe get 1 or 2 of them to a 9.6 IMHO.
Here's the break down:
Color #1 - rubbing in two areas of front cover
Color #2 - 2 spine ticks each breaking color
B&W #1 - 1 spine tick which slightly breaks color
B&W #2 - indentation on front cover and 1 spine tick
Virgin #1 - 2 spine ticks with 1 breaking color
Virgin #2 - 1 spine tick which slightly breaks color and some minor indentations
All of the back covers looks great, it is just the front covers that look bad.
The individual pictures I took don't show how bad they were. Will try again later.
OK, I sent the 2 Virgin and 2 Sketch copies over to CCS for pressing/cleaning. It took them 2 months to do what they needed to do. Earlier this week, they were moved to CGC, and I finally received the grades for them:
Venom #1 Dell'Otto ""Virgin"" Edition - CGC 9.4
Venom #1 Dell'Otto ""Virgin"" Edition - CGC 9.6
Venom #1 Dell'Otto Sketch Cover - CGC 9.8 x 2
CGC 9.8s for those Virgin variants are going to be hard to come by based on what I've read on these boards and my current submission.
Good Luck to those that have submitted them to CGC!

McFarlane was just announced as a guest at Las Vegas Comic Con. Can we use CGC to witness the signing? Or will you guys be attending? Please let me know. Thanks!

Things are moving rather quickly. Looks like they're not kidding when they said TATs for Fast Track is 10 days.
ok... this is super fast.... Just rechecked my invoice and it's now "Graded". WOW!
Hoping that they all got 9.8s since it was so quick. Maybe they couldn't find anything wrong with them. So, they moved them along... heh

I got 30 books signed by Hughes yesterday here in Dallas along with a sketch. All of them turned out great. I got my WW books signed by Jimenez as well. Thanks to TheCollector for witnessing for me and getting the sketch.
That's awesome! Hope they turn up 9.8s. Who'd you get a sketch of?

I was able to get the 3 cover set unsigned. Looks like they are still available for purchase.

All New Wolverine #14 (Venom variant by Mattina) s/s Nik Virella (interior artist)- $120
I'd love to add Mattina, but he's in Italy with no U.S. appearances that I can see.
He MIGHT be at London Super Comicon in August.

I think the Punisher is pretty cool but that one is terrible.
Because?...
I totally dig that cover for America. Do you know which cover it's for? I'm assuming #1....
#2 Joe Quinones
Thanks Ygogolak! Will add this copy to my pull list.
-
I'm fine not seeing it again, I think it looks awful.Haven't seen one of these for sale in a long while....Opena.
-J.
what's wrong with the cover? when you see something that looks like street graffiti does it makes you angry and just can't look at it?
Probably going to hate this one:

Yeah, that's what I had figured. I wonder if I could go to a show like c2e2, pay for a "signature" and have him hand over the comic to CGC. I wonder if had had offered some sort of CGC service for his remarks that he had sold on his website last year because I've only seen SS labels and 1 qualified.
When I attended SDCC last year, Campbell's booth had a number of signed books for sale. I spoke with Mike Balent and said that as long as I brought a CGC witness with me to the booth and purchased it in front of him, I was ok to get a Yellow Label. Mike mentioned that they have an agreement with Campbell's team at shows where his items are already pre-signed. That's my experience with both CGC and with Campbell's people.

Lineup is starting to look better...
Just added:
Mike Zeck
George Perez

Venom #3 Sold Out in seconds... I couldn't even get a copy of the NM... And I tried getting a VF, but it disappeared from my cart as I was checking out via PayPal. ARGH!!!
-
From the Fan2Sea cruise. The top three are in a Harley Quinn themed sketchbook I just started. I've been trying for an Amanda Conner sketch for 4 years. I was able to score the sketch cover too through a trade.
I'm so jealous Evil Cody! I've been trying for years to get a Conner sketch as well. Hopefully soon...
