Grading on Friday's (thinking about the weekend) and Monday's (recovering from the weekend) are loose.

Hi Bark Knight,
The grader notes should been with the books. If you are the basic you do not get them. Premier or Elite Members get them. Try calling CGC, they are very helpful.
31 minutes ago, The Bark Knight said:Had my first submission graded and sent back to me. How long does it take for graders notes to post? I'm really curious as to why one of my books received the grade that it did. Is there some way to request them if they don't post soon? Thank you

I was curious as to what books everyone sees as a book that for sure should be graded. This could be for a personal collection or for reselling. I am curious on everyone's thoughts!!! Thanks in advanced!
Pick your top 5 or 10 books. Find out their value raw and slabbed. If any of the book's cost of getting them slabbed is less than the value after the book is slabbed, then slab it. Go to gocollect.com, ebay, overstreet, and mycomicshop.com for fmv. Over tine you will find your groove. It is a never ending learning experience.

Rob Lefield is an artistic hack.
Just had to get that off my chest, thamks
Although I bought some of his books in the 90s, his characters he drew were disappointing and predictable fast! Major X? Major Waste!

$1000 is handed to you to invest long-term in CGC MODERN Age what do you do?
This is to supplement a bronze age thread I started 7 years ago.
We have gone back to that thread, and we have noticed a lot of bronze age key comic books have more than doubled in profit, so now I am asking the same question here about moderns. I think it be fun to see what people pick now for investment/speculator purposes.
SO
Scenario: You have $1000 of disposable income to invest long-term(5 years) in getting some Modern keys. What do you pick?
criteria these must be CGC`ed and dates are 1997 to 2017.
These will not be for a quick flip, you spend the $1000 now and hopefully in 5 years you will have a little profit. Since you guys are the experts I like to hear your pros and cons thoughts.
I will start it off with any mid-grade The Walking Dead CGC #1 for under a grand.
Very interesting. I will get back to you with specifixs. But I think getting some low cost books with children of heroes or villains., ie Normie Osborn or Dylan Brock. Good potential for Marvel to do something with them in the next 5 years. Also, some high priced books that are expected to continue increase in price.

It's high time this cover artist have his own Appreciation Thread!
I have been a big fan of Gabrielle Dell'Otto's work since he began working on ASM a few years back. He is quite simply an extremely gifted cover artist, and appears to work mostly in paint on canvas and/or chalk. His attention to detail in these mediums is unparalleled with much of his work being near museum quality. As fans, we are very fortunate to have an artist who so capably renders some of our favourite heroes and villains in the style of a true Renaissance master. Undoubtedly due to the time, detail and care Dell'otto devotes to his pieces, he is not prolific. As such most of his covers that have been used by both Marvel and DC (but mostly Marvel) look to be the more exclusive ones. Some of the rarest (and best) variants out there are Dell'otto covers, and many of them are very difficult to find on a day to day basis.
So let's see your favourite Dell'otto covers guys! I'll start it off with a few of mine before they're sent off to catch some Florida sun.
From left to right, ASM 682 (Part 1 Ends of the Earth) 1:15, ASM 667 (Part 1 Spider Island) 1:100, and ASM 3 1:25
From left to right, Uncanny X Men 1 1:50, X-23 1 1:50, and Cable and X Force 3 1:50
From left to right, Winter Soldier 1 (first in solo, ongoing title- good luck finding one of these!
almost as hard to find as the ASM 667) 1:50 and Avengers Assemble 10 1:50
Obviously the ASM 667 is his best known and hardest to find piece. I've always liked its moody intensity, its simple yet striking layout, and of course Spidey in a classic pose. As an interesting side note, it was also just Dell'otto's second ASM cover and is one of only 3, 1:100's that he has done.
Also, if you blinked, you missed this ebay listing that popped up late last night, and immediately sold just a few hours after going live:
It was the first copy of any kind to hit ebay in six months.
The Winter Soldier #1 cover is almost just as hard to find. It's probably also my #2 all time favourite by him. The composition of the painting, the lighting effects on the gun, what can I say. The man has talent.
I will be updating the thread with a "club list" of boardies who own some of his best known books (i.e. the ASM 667 and X 23 1). If you posted your copy of the ASM 667 in the other thread please do so again here so I can update this new thread.
Also, no haters please. This is an APPRECIATION THREAD. Thanks.

I enjoyed his Secret War mini series with Captain America, Black Widow, Original Nick Fury, Spiderman and Wolverine on the covers.

Thanks for the info.

What books or mini series can I find the story of Mystique meeting Azazel and Nightcrawler was conceived?
-
I'm thinking Barry Windsor Smith.

That was it!!! Thanks for the fast response!!!!

Marvel had a mini series when The Grandmaster had all the Marvel heroes battle The Champion. All were eliminated, like the Hulk for not following boxing rules or were beaten by him. The only person who truly challenged the Champion was the Thing and even he was beaten badly. Does anyone remember the title? I have the contest of champions, but that was different.

Was your first time difficult?

Yes. I felt like you, but if you have insurance for the FMV for your comics, CGC will take great care of them and will be so happy. My only regret was not getting my first books cleaned/pressed. At the time I thought it was an unnecessary cost. I probably lost a whole 1-2 whole grade points by not getting that done.
