    New To CGC

    By deleranko,

    Just sent in first submissions.
    Just started collecting comic books 1 yr ago and just joined CGC this past month. I am now 22 yrs of age, somewhat of a late bloomer i guess. I started with modern comics but quickly made the jump to the more desirable and more attractive silver and golden age. Now I'm looking to get some of my own books graded and so recently joined CGC.
    I have submitted 4 comics that have sentimental value. Payed myself so I don't waste my coupon on elementary comics. I also wanted to test my own grading merit, which I'm sure is quite ignorant and subject to bias, and also to familiarize myself with the process. My submissions are as follows:
    Wolverine 1 Djurdevic variant- First comic I ever bought
    9.4
     
    Walking Dead 27
    9.2
    Green Lantern 2nd series 40
    6.0
    Action Comics 304-First silver age comic purchased.
    5.0
    These are my estimated grades. I can't wait to get these back and be disappointed!!! Just kidding I will be happy with any grade and really want to compare my expectations vs reality to help evaluate comics and future submission possibilities.
     
    Reading all these different journals from all of you guys just gets me super excited to really turn my collecting into full gear. Reading the CGC graders experience I hope I never reach that point and am glad I'm a newbie and have so much to discover.

    & Next submission
    I just recently received my Walking Dead 27 and my Wolverine 1 back from CGC. To my surprise the grades exceeded my expectations, which really shows i was just guessing. My walking dead 27 i thought i might get a 9.2 but came back 9.6! Uggghh that close to 9.8! Maybe ill have it pressed in the future see if i cant get that 9.8. Wolverine 1 i guessed would be a 9.4 and that one came back 9.8! Super stoked about that one as it was my first comic i ever purchased. Still waiting for my Green lantern 40 and Action comics 304 to be scheduled for grading. I aslo have sent in a second submission of modern comics(9 of them). This submission includes my walking dead 35 error variant that im hoping once graded will be the highest graded copy in the census. And with where WD prices are now, I can not wait to get this one back!
