  1. I will also add that I did this to help support her as an artist. Right now , even as you questioned, was this due to relation with Frank Frazetta, She has a bit to overcome with that legacy being the benchmark to which she will be compared due to that relation. It is still early in her career and I am curious what "her preference/ style " will evolve into . Sure I would love to see similarly to Frank . Yes I would love for her to do a Frank tribute series like Vampirella #1 , Creepy, Conan, Death Dealer, Blazing Combat, etc. What I am really interested in will be what she evolves into on her own . What things will be just hers. You get the idea. I just believe several of the artists, especially those living in the shadow of greatness need support and to be given the chance to find their own style and success.
  2. It was more of an impulse. I like Red Sonja, and Mars Attacks. I definitely LOVE Frank Frazetta. When I saw CGC announcement of the in house signing I looked at what covers she had done and saw these . Which led to the subsequent impulse purchase. Really happy with how they turned out . She signed in the color I requested. I think they look really good. I know these are not everyone's cup of tea, but they have a classic feel with a modern twist. Thank you for the comment !
  3. A lot of the later printing tend to have those issues as well as color rub or widening staple holes . I was very happy with how this one presented raw and was hoping for a real elusive 9.9+ but knew better. Thank you.
  4. Thank you! Thank you as well. I agree this one too the brunt of some employees anguish. I would say by shipping, but these were hand delivered by Joey and he always does such an amazing job . Good example would be one of the Superman 500 Platinum Errors originally was a CGC 8.5 ( No error noted) I was just hoping for a little bump but mostly just to get it noted as an error. Absolutely shocked to see it hit 9.8 but in hand I definitely agree it wasn't one of those gift grades. Joey worked some magic on several of these books. Some will be making a return trip when CGC gets some of their mess under control. Thank you as well. I really can't wait to get so many more graded as I have a huge collection of really good ones from this set ( and many more ) that I look forward to seeing how they grade out. The real achievement, as you put it, goes to @Iconic1s Death Return Registry Set that just won an award this year as he has the whole set in 9.8 with only one exception of the AOS 499 third print ( he has it in 9.6) so if anyone reading this has the only one 9.8 or has a raw that looks like it has a good chance Please reach out to him to help him compete his absolutely amazing set. Hopefully this next year I will have a BIG surprise in store for this Doomsday set .
  5. Some of the books I just got back from CGC that were very hard to find in the wild. Most of these I found as they were released. Others picked up along the way.
  6. This one came back in the same submission. Jim Lee.
  7. These two showed up today back from CGC. Both Jerry Siegel. The 82 is a foil error, but CGC didn't note it.
  8. Just got this one back from CGC today. (Still have a few more that look better to send)
  9. Thank you. Some will probably make a trip back ( graders notes only show pressable defects) the rest I am very happy with. Think one of the biggest was two of the Superman Platinum Errors. One was graded by Voldy as a 9.6 ( no mention of the error) The other was originally a CGC 8.5! Also no mention of the error. Both were pressed by Joey and WOW!!!! Thank you @joeypost !!!
  10. Just got these back this week from CGC. Sara Frazetta
  11. Received them back today. Here are the scans.
  12. They have to be opened prior to submission. Any poly bagged books must be removed or they will and if they do it you may not get the bag or any other contents back. They just note on the label any books that were distributed in sealed bags.
