    I'm getting better at my pre-screening eye! I hit 80% (40/50 books this go around). I'll post the remainder next couple days, but here is what I have scanned so far (only need a few more B&V covers!!)

    Got my X-Men: Blue and X-Men: Gold comics back from CGC today. I had a 9.8 screening and was very happy with my results Blue Cover A - 2/3 Blue Cover B - 3/3 Blue Cover C - 3/3 ------------------------------- Gold Cover A - 3/3 Gold Cover B - 2/2 Gold Cover C - 1/1 I didn't submit every issue of my 3 sets for Gold because there were some noticeable problems with a couple issues that even I could see wouldn't hit 9.8. But I'm very happy with the success rate overall. 14/18 in 9.8 quality! Makes up a little bit for the ASM #25's which were hit really hard.

    Thanks @greggy

    As long as you fill in the other custom form along with the book, you'll be good

    Our very own Karl Janot just completed this piece for me :-)

    I was hit hard on my 3 ASM sets. 1 Cover A and C in 9.8. The 7 others failed my pre-screening. Alternatively on my 3 Elektra sets, all A's and C's hit 9.8 and 1 B in 9.8. I'm also waiting on Blue and Gold from CGC -- but didn't get submit 3 sets this time; I tried to be pickier with my submissions.

    Not to knock anybody's choices, but $9000 for a modern variant!? I wish I had that kind of expendable income!

    Who is that Iron Fist artist? That cover is sweet!

    I think for these you need to post in the expansion request, instead of new request.

    I'd like to request a set for Budd Root covers. He is primarily on Cavewoman titles... not sure if he has any other mainstream pieces.

    These last remaining B&V books are proving very difficult to find in 9.8 I still need 7 more of the regular covers (A - Y), although I have a few at CGC I hope come back in 9.8.

    First of three batches... these are the sketches and signatures I've picked up recently. Second batch will be my current Betty & Veronica books. Third batch will be everything else

    Thank you for providing those settings. I just ordered a used 8300 and will purchase the VueScan software after a couple weeks when I know my scanner isn't going to break :-) I actually ordered two (80$) each in case one breaks. Anyway, I noticed the direction you put the book in the scanner makes a big difference in terms of the glare.

    Well the best tone (51) got a 9.8 :-)

    I have no issues with pencils only on this piece :-)

    I've been more than happy with these: https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-2942-72/Wire-Shelving/Chrome-Wire-Shelving-Unit-60-x-18-x-72?FromOrderHistory=Y I purchased two additional shelves and these clear mats to go on top of the shelves: https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-2436/Wire-Shelving-Accessories/Plastic-Shelf-Liner-60-x-18?FromOrderHistory=Y

    Lucky man! I think this one is going to skyrocket in asking price when it comes out.
  21. UnboxingTreasures
    What company produced this piece?

    Can't believe I have just now seen this thread! I picked this one up a little while ago -- a grail for me in terms of action figures. It was hands down my favorite action figure/toy growing up.

    Do a search for 'scanner' and you'll find a few threads.

    Beautiful stuff Kwan. Wish I could afford that Monika pin-up from Mad!
