    CGC SUBMISSION and NEW RELEASE
    Hello all. I just submitted first batch of books for grading. Here's what I sent in...
    Superman #46 (1947) - Expecting a 3.5 to 4.0 - http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=257049&Number=5653436#Post5653436
    Superman #148 - Expecting a 5.5 to 6.0
    Walking Dead #33 - Expecting a 9.4 (looks great with some minor bumps on the upper and lower right corners, no creasing).
    Secret Wars #8 - I'm not sure about this one but probably an 8.5 or 9.0. There was an issue with this one that can be seen here - http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5686942#Post5686942
    Also... I preordered issue #100 of the Walking Dead with all nine variant covers. I'm looking forward to getting these in July.
    Thanks for reading, stay tuned, and happy collecting!

    Okay. I'll be quick. My LCS guy is kinda standoffish and wasn't there yesterday. So I walked around looking at some back issues and came across an X-Men 141 with no price on it. I asked the other guy how much? He said, "hold on, let me call the owner."
    It looked rough, but hey, I wanted it. The guy gets off the phone and says, "Yeah, that one is $75." I said, "no thanks."
    I looked at a girl standing beside the counter (your typical comic lurker) and said, "what would you grade this book, I'm not buying it but just for fun I'm going to write down a number and see what you think."
    She looked and after a minute said, "probably fine, around a 5.0 grade." I turned over my number and had written 5.5. No big deal. I bought on on eBay last night for $30 and it looks better than the on in the LCS. Just a quick rant for you boardies...
