This one just arrived today from a fellow board member, I love the Surfer cover... Gotta get me some more...

 

Sorry for my crummy scanner picture...

 

Nice book! One of my favorite covers.

Lots of nice FF's posted lately

It was the appearance of that bidder that made me pull the throttle back at $175.

Your a wise man. I totally forgot about the auction, I can't compete with those bids anyway.

What the hell happened to the SA 8.5 GR

 

over $400 :o

Some 0 feedback bidder pumped it at the last minute. looks like monkey business.

A case of Nik being "Nik".

These two arrived on my doorstep this morning.

I've been looking for a decent copy of this for a long time. Nice white pages too.

This book reached out and grabbed my face.

It's a stunner!

All this talent and can't keep the thread on the first page?

My first CGC submissions finally arrived in the mail

 

 

Nice results!

Just those two? Come on, where are the stinkers?

Thanks guys!

Well here's the story:

I always had these two pegged to sub all year. Both of the grades came out what I predicted them - FF#48 9.0 and #73 9.4. The third book wasn't necessarily a stinker. It was a #33 7.0 with WP.The best presenting 7.0 you will ever see! Unfortunately I wanted an 8.0 or better for that particular issue #...

I thought it was going to be an 8.5 due to a tiny CB crease LR corner FC that I noticed doing a quick once over FC. The problem is that I subbed them at WW Texas on Saturday 10 minutes before the Con was closing up and I knew I wasn't coming back on Sunday. I hurriedly purchased a book, kinda glanced over it and turned it in with the other two. Again, I figured 8.5. The problem was I NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF THE BAG :doh: There was a 2 1/2" Crease on the UL corner BC, in addition to a small tear.

It was sold as an 8.5 to me and I ran with it. Totally my fault for not inspecting it closer.

However there was a happy ending. When I found out what grade the book was I notified the seller to see if I could get a partial refund. He insisted on giving me a full refund for the book AND grading fees!

There's no pic because I mailed it off as soon as it arrived!

Anyways, I'm 2 out of three on my subs but I still consider myself 100% accurate so far since I never really inspected the #33 like I did the other two...I will get a better estimation of my grading prowess when I start subbing my collection a little at a time.

 

It's great you were able to recover your costs and it is a lesson we all have learned about inspecting not only both covers but the inside of the book as well. See my disappointment thread and you will see a book I had as a dead on 9.8 come back 9.0 because of some rust on the interior part of the staples.

I agree, you done good. We all know the 48 is a key, I like the white pages on the 73 (thumbs u
