It showed up today.   My only criticism is that obviously Jock took the book out of the bag and signed where he wanted.   really wish he wouldn't as it detracts from the art. Although he seems to sign all of these right on the brow or chin so 

Anyway now the positives.  He did come close to the color Signature I asked for and this got a huge bump from the press ( issue was back right cover had two very noticeable bends/folds that I was not sure how much would come out you can see it from my old scans and raw pictures better.) 

I am posting two back cover scans as these dark books seem to get a bit of glare from my scanner so you can see the back better. 

all in all really happy with the results for this newsstand! 

Had two moved today and this was one of them. Now G/E/I

Move to shipped ! 

Will be posting results when it arrives!

Simply magnificent 

Thank you. I appreciate it. I definitely am happy with the way this one came out.

I no longer have an active account and even on the remote chance that I won, which I am not pretentious enough to think I would, I would not submit any books to them right now anyway. 

I get it. They really have become a mess.

That is pretty amazing!  Congrats!

Thank you. Was really hoping this would get the bump to 9.8 so that it would match my full set of platinum 9.8's still really happy with how this all came together.  

Moved to G/QC today.

That was quick!

Little over 8 months. Now the CGC wait begins.  

Moved from Joey (CFP) to CGC today!

Moved to G/E/I today. 

Moved to SFG today.

Ok so the last two showed up today! 

The New Mutants got a bump! 

Although he didn't use my request for green sketch (he did with the Signature) I am still happy with the results. 

Back

Next is the Transformers which he did follow all of my requests including color, placement and even the artist's signature! ( very happy with all of that) wish it got a little higher grade, but looking it over I am happy it did still get a 9.2 . 

Back

I definitely will. I will more than likely be posting them in several threads including this journal.  Do not want to jinx it , but usually they arrive the day after marked shipped. So should have them tomorrow.  

Those two just moved to Shipped Today!

The other two moved to  Grading/Quality Control today.  

Completely agree!!!

I have even got to the point where I do not use cardboard for the books, but rather use foam board now. As some of the cardboard can still bend easier. I also use this for between my slabs when shipping. So far to me it seems the foam board is stronger and lighter.  

Ok so the Moon Knight showed up today. He did most of my request. (Green and sketch placement.  ) The Signature he placed in the same area of the sketch vs my ask.

That said CCS definitely shifted the cover in press as now you can see the right side of the pages vs what my original pictures were and they didn't quite get the back slight roll near the spine. 

Came in on the lower side of my estimate, but with the few issues I see 1 tic and some color rub/transfer( probably from the original stack) on the back still happy with the 9.4 but kinda surprised at the OW/W PQ... 

All in all happy with this one. Can't wait to see the other two. 

I couldn't bring myself to look.   I am hoping for that 9.8, but realistically think it will be 9.4-9.6 . Plus the grade is only some of it I am also really interested in what he did with the remark.  It is supposed to be delivered today as I live in Florida and it usually only takes a day to make it here from there. I will post scans of it here when it arrives.  

So today the Moon Knight moved to shipped . 

 and the other two moved to G/E/I.

Make sure you get them pressed post signing. I have had 2 books that I submitted for signing in last few months in slab as 9.8s and 1 came back a 9.6 and another 9.4. Customer service basically has said whoops - too bad 

When I submitted them I added the CCS pressing.. 

Sorry to hear about the grade drops..

The other two books just moved to SFG today.
