I didn't sign for mine FedEx just left it by my front stoop.

Just a small update Lobo will be arriving today and it got a 9.8 white pages

It should be in my hands Tuesday. 1 down 1 to go. My  J. Scott Campbell variant Uncanny  X-Men #1 is waiting in the wings, it  should be another 9.8 or 9.6

Final Update for Lobo it's been shipped and I got a 9.8 white pages and guess what no graders notes....no surprise there...lol

Grading Update:

Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special just moved to Grading/QC

Grading Update:

My Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special just moved to Quality Control/Finalized I hope Bisley wasn't rough with it.

I totally agree. My 9.4 X-Men #1 signed by Jim Lee had no notes and I had it pressed should have gotten at least a 9.6 but my 6.5 gi Joe #155 signed by Larry hamma got notes which I totally understand cause that book was rough but I find it funny a 6.5 gets notes and a 9.4 doesn't.

My experience with them hasn't been good I wish you all the luck with them. How are they still getting away with no grader's notes.

My Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special just moved to GEI here's hoping for a 9.8 but it'll probably be a 9.6 with zero notes saying why...lol

Best I Can say is look in the spare a grade thread and compared the scans coming back and the raws I laid out. I didn't notice what all others said per se.

I thought there were stresses top staples and maybe some frayed spine corners, with a bit of a ruffle at the very least top front cover. That's about all I saw, which I don't think can be fixed with a press. Still wasn't that bad for a 9.2 or 9.4, as all that just looked a little "worn" per se, but I suppose still breaks color, lies flat, page corners are sharp. Technically 9.0 makes sense. I just got built up

And maybe others don't see what I do, or see something else.

I did that with my current books that I sent in so hopefully they come back 9.6 I didn't go for the press this time just due to what happened with my last books. My Lobo Christmas special should be in for grading I know the signing happened over the weekend.

After the signing

Was that 9.6 a grade it had or your thoughts?

keep in mind, we are all guilty of thinking our books are a bit better than they actually are

It's what I thought it was it looked like a 9.6 was hoping the pressing would bump it up but it came back a tad rougher than when I sent it.

I'm still new at this so when I sent X-Men #1 for Jim Lee to sign and I paid for pressing it came back as a 9.4 and in worse condition it should have been at least a 9.6. So lesson learned now I take pics before I send them off. If I had the room in my office I'd get a press and do it myself. My question is do they press it before or after the signing?

It shouldn't matter what the value of the book is it should come with graders notes regardless and what's the point of advertising it if they aren't going to give it to you. I would understand if my book I sent in is a 10 then it's obvious why there is no notes but for everything else we what our notes or lower the price.

I'm almost afraid what my lobo Christmas special is going to come back as it looked like a 9.8 -9.6.

What is with the lack of graders notes these days?

I know the deadline for Simon Bisley was a few days ago but haven't heard anything about it since it was announced back in July, just a ton of Liefield on Instagram probably won't see that till October.

That's always the hardest part about this is the waiting and wondering what will the grade be.

That sucks hope it doesn't drop a grade with the new slab.

That's something that should be standard if it's not a 10 have grader's notes explaining what's wrong with the book.

Ok my bad. Be lucky you got grader's notes at all. Other than what I saw looks like a 9.8 to me,I hope they fix it for you.

Could it be this granted I'm doing this on my phone or did it have this as a 9.8 before the signing?

Ouch

My J. SCOTT CAMPBELL X-Men book was received 8-17-23 and scheduled for grading (Which will be awhile since the deadline is Oct. 15)

still waiting for confirmation on my SIMON BISLEY which was sent the same day and the deadline for that one is September 8th.

As for Jim Lee I was thinking of sending in one of my other X-men #1's or my Batman 125.

9.4  The Last Boy Scout was a GREAT movie!

Thanks for the grade and yes it was.

I just sent this in to the Simon Bisley signing and I took these before I shipped them I  placed a backing board under the comic and there has been no cleaning and pressing to this.

Thanks,
