    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...

    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!
