Ok... this one hurt. Great cover and is in great shape! I had no idea a wrap was missing that doesn't even affect the story! So you can't dream of buying a "spot" massager, a BB gun, or some Adolf stamps - it's the cover that counts! Right?

Got the scanner working! Only took a few days.... anyway, on to the next lot... The grease pencil isn't the worst but did they have to use it twice? Really sharp copy otherwise.

I was thinking of maybe upgrading my ASM #16, then looked at what they are going for. Think this one is worth grading? It's my current copy. I'd guess a 2.5 maybe. Thoughts?

Thanks! All bought raw over 20 years ago, except the #17. That one was in a stack given to me after being in an attic for decades. I think it held up well! Note: none were pressed. If I had they would likely have graded a bit higher. I also have my #23, 32, and 1 of my #40's graded. My next box may have my #50, 129, and a few other keys, we'll see. I have a lot I want protected for safe keeping and will need to move some books to help pay for it.

Another beauty in hand...

This one is a beauty of a book, really hoped for more on this one. Oh, gotta love the date stamp.

I was hoping for a grade higher, but not shocked. There is a slight sub crease you may be able to see. Note: none of these have been pressed. Some would likely have graded higher, like this one, if I had C & P'd them I'm sure.

This one annoyed me. I will be investing in a black light.

Oh, sorry as the scanner is still giving me issues. Hope the pics are ok. Great looking cover, the spine issues kept it from being higher.

Thought this could be a 4.0, I was close. Also, now #9 on the census.

So, Santa dropped off a present a day or 2 late. I'll post some now and some over the next day or so unless I get ambitious or the football games get boring. We have this one to start off. Not too surprised about this one. Tenth on the census.

And #19

#18

#17

#13

Just got a box back from CGC last week. I now have 1-20 (except my #16) and annual #1 graded. Here is what I got back, starting with... #12

Worth more, sure.... but the Owl is not quite Doc Ock.... Loving the sale Dale. Keep it up!

What is this, a card? Great colors. 👍

This is a killer shot! Tough title. I keep trying to locate a 5 and 6 but haven't been able to snag one. Well done sir!

I like this one!!! Have fun in NYC!

Congrats, and wow.... Yeah, that was going to be a follow up question - how long? I've got some that I sent in under Economy that arrived in February that are still waiting to be looked at. I fast tracked my latest lot that seems to be moving along much faster. Were the grades what you expected? So far with my books I'm -.265 on average below what I expected.

Nice @Ryan.! Did you just pick those up or get them back? I've got a bunch that are "Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging" now.

Creep up it did...

Yea, these look kinda cool but they just don't seem like a "must have" collectible to me. He's had a bunch of LB Cole ones too (my wheelhouse) but I never pulled the trigger on them. Maybe if I wanted to display one in a comic room or something, but I'd just rather buy more comics.
