I sent 30 books & got some bad surprises!
I sent 30 books and expected some great results and was very dissappointed. Here they are:
1.) Amazing Spider-Man 300 (5)= 9.0, 9.0 (Restored, SURPRISE), 9.4, 9.2, 6.5 (WO, That blew my mind, no way!)
2.) Superman 75 (Black Bag)(2)= 9.2, 8.0 (CGC said this book is hard to get mint because of items in bag pressing against it)
3.) Astonishing X-Men 13 Sketch Variant (6)= 9.6, 9.6, 9.6, 9.6, 9.8, 9.8 (Midtown Comics Edition)
4.) Amazing Spider-Man 529 (5)= all 9.8 (happy!)
5.) Amazing Spider-Man 252 (2)= 7.5 (I thought no worse than a 9.4), And one not graded for OVERHANG (WHAT IS THAT!)
6.) Ms. Marvel 1 (Sketch Variant) 9.0 (I think at least a 9.6!)
7.) Amazing Spider-Man 361= 9.6
8.) Amazing Spider-Man 298 (2)= both 9.4 (not happy, but can live with, feel both at least 9.6 if better)
9.) Amazing Spider-Man 299= 9.2 (killing me, at least a 9.6)
10.) Moon Knight 1 (Sketch Variant)= 3 at 9.6 & 2 at 9.8 (surprised all were not 9.8)
I asked a grader why some were the grades they were & they were helpful but when I got them back I couldn't find these flaws on back covers and such that were said. The restored one surprised me, but that will happen I guess. I sent in what I thought were all 9.6 or better, & got rocked. I understand grading is subjective but a few of these (like 6.5 or 9.0) were dissapointing. That makes me a little gunshy for future, but I must admit, there is a level of fun & satisfaction in it. I am going to try one more time with some Wolverine key issues, Rais, X-Men 266s, & others. Hopefully I will get better results!
