First ever submissions to CGC. Bought the pair of #1s for $50 total, so totally jazzed about the grades. No pressing. Grader's note on #155 noted a small corner crease, but thrilled with the 9.6. Submitting a #21 next and hoping for another 9.6. 

Awesome grades.  I would like to get a nicely graded #21 as well one day.

Amazing Spiderman 532 VF- $4

one of the tougher Civil War reprints to find.

or buy both issues for $8

 

If all are still available.

Finally got my last piece of my most recent submission.  Was hoping for a slightly better grade, but can't complain too much.  This was a Heritage purchase that estimated it to be between a 8.0 and a 9.0.  I thought a pressing might bump it up a bit. 

Still happy, nonetheless.

Obviously, this guy did not read Major X Disaster.  One of the worst written books I've ever read.

I bought the first one, because A. didn't want to miss out on a possible new popular character and B. curious.  Read it, sold it, and never looked at any other issues.  

Not sure how I feel about him handling a beloved favorite like Snake Eyes.

Thoughts?

Just got these back.

This is the first time I've gotten books back with the Newton Rings (I believe that is what they are called based on what I've read/learned here).  Would these be candidates for a return and re-slabbing?

My number 1 has a different paper quality (thicker, glossier) than the rest of the issues (which had the standard 80’s newsprinty kind of paper). Did all the number ones come that way?

If I remember correctly issue #1 was printed on Baxter paper. The other issues were printed like you stated.

  Don't see what the issue is.  He is part of the clan.  As early as issue 21 he is shown with the tattoo on his arm like Storm Shadow.  Also the timeline matches up for that statue style.

I don't have a problem with him HAVING the tattoo.  The problem, and again it's my own personal opinion/issue, is that it isn't something that was ever flaunted out in the open on clothing or swords (at least in the early Marvel comic books).  It was a special moment to see the reveal that both he and Storm Shadow had a similar tattoo on their respective wrists (of which both were/are covered).

Look who decided to finally show up.

I posted about him in the Figure topic.

https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/391856-this-week-in-your-plastic-crack-action-figures-and-toy-collection/page/123/

 

That looks great.

Side note:  Not sure why it is, but I feel like Snake Eyes should not have the Arashikage symbol on his outfit.  This was done in the movies too.  Just my own little issue.

Figure I put in my most recent submission.

Economy - 1
Modern - 3 (Have them in my hands)
Modern with Pressing - 3 (new to this, confident 2/3 will benefit from pressing, looking to see what happens with 3rd)

Submitted on 3/9 (shipped following day)

CGC - Received on 3/16

CCS - Invoiced on 5/29

For the remaining Economy and Moderns, status is still "Received" with a received date of "3/16".  

I assume CGC hasn't received the pressed books yet from CCS?

Update:

1 Economy has now been updated to Received on 6/11 and is now Scheduled for Grading.

3 Moderns have now been updated to Received on 6/12 and is now Scheduled for Grading..

Wow indeed. If only I had the money. Good luck.

Thank you sir! I had a 9.4 previously so I'm really stoked to upgrade this classic issue.

I hope to be able to do the same one day. Congrats on the upgrade!

Tec is indeed a short form for Detective Comics, #27 usually, and a PLOD is a 'purple label of doom' - a CGC label for a comic with restoration. 'Doom', because when you get one, when you were expecting a blue label, the world ends. 

Thank you!!  I kept seeing and had no idea what it meant. 

I am curious if we can add some additional Acronym definitions to the Misc Terminology.

I don't know what PLOD is?  Someone help me understand it?  

I've heard Tec (I believe this is Detective Comics, but not 100% sure)

Are there any other acronyms that are out there that aren't covered?

Just received this yesterday from a fellow boardie.

Purchased a single issue from Wes, and it went as smooth as possible.  Book was sent out quickly and well packaged.  Would buy from again.
