no

thanks Mike!

still quite frosted about the results of my submission as noted in the following post Let me ask those of you here much wiser than me regarding these matters Is it more likely CCS caused the cover misalignment during pressing or CGC during encapsulation and would that have even negatively effected the grade? I looked up issue 340 SS books listed on ebay at 8.0 and higher and in every instance even with those 9.0 and higher (don’t think I bothered with 9.8) there were grader notes here is an 8.0 (with grader notes) via ebay with major flaws on the back alone https://www.ebay.com/itm/304738160716?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CliAiI04TDW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=lwptSYthT-6&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I just can’t fathom how my book got a 8.0 and there seems to be no accountability @CGC Mike

no spine roll at all and even if there was the press would have fixed that

submitted 1 book requested full name on window box ... came back with T. McFarlane .... in all honesty I was not disappointed in this and after seeing the full sig and abbreviated I've come to like the way the abbreviated sig looks better despite the full sig being more of a rarity mine took exactly 1 business day to move from GQC to shipped though I don't know that a whole lot of time was ever spent on any part of the GQC as my disappointment can be found here ....

waited until later today when I could hopefully gain my composure before posting received my Hulk 340 back today from the TM signing ... the book was submitted with a CCS press I have complained before that it is rare that I am ever able to see any before/after improvements done by CCS and many others have echoed the same not knowing if their books ever saw a press or clean first the positives .... - my book appears to have no newton rings or scratches (a rarity) - there was some creasing by the Spider-Man image in the DM corner box that actually looks to have been removed by CCS - there was a slight indentation above the i in "Incredible" that also looks to have been pressed out and now the bad/ugly .... - the cover wrap is now completely misaligned when it was submitted perfectly centered - there is a piece of schmutz in the bottom of the slab to the left of Wolverine's claws - the book graded a 8.0 with off white to white pages .... this book should have come back no less than a 9.0 at worst and while I am no expert on page quality the off white distinction seems highly suspect - there were no graders notes given

interesting, thanx

The first step is to identify a comic book’s “good” defects and “bad” defects. In short, good defects can be diminished or removed with pressing, and the bad defects cannot. Here is a comprehensive list of both: Good defects (do not break color) Bad defects Dents Bends Folds Light creases Minor spine stresses Impacted corners or edges Warping Ripples (with no stains present) Spine rolls Waviness Stacking bends Cover impressions Light pencil marks (usually in white areas) Dirt Substance Creases that break color Missing chips or pieces Tears Stains Detached staples or staple tears Spine stresses that break color Fading Fingerprints or smudges Dust shadows or sun shadows Rusted staples or rust stains Rounded or blunted corners Pen markings or printer ink Cover veins Brown or brittle cover or pages

are they sure that says 015? and if so what is the significance of that? Jan 5 even though the label says it was signed and sketched on 1/12?

yes, Universal blue and yellow only I made the mistake of subbing ASM 238 for a signing specifically for a custom label that I knew didn’t have the Tattooz … totally forgot that since it would be yellow/green that no custom label would be given

GQC 1 day later shipped 2/6

GEI status today

there is no “arrived at CCS” status … if you mean “received at CCS” that means it has not been signed … when it is signed it will move to “scheduled for grading” status and as I understand, yes he had not completed signing all the submissions

Adam Hughes announced today

folks Shooter is doing an upcoming signing with CGC so he is still active and reachable https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/11189/

it was slabbed in 2009 the bonus piece of plastic either happened in the following years or has well passed any statute of limitations for responsible reporting … the case looks cracked in the upper corners (likely where the shard originates from)

12/1

no

my favorite of all time

again,he is being well compensated so I’m sure he’ll be able to afford a quality hand massage when the signings are completed … I do admire the fun he is having with it though as for the wait, no bother on my end … I waited as close to the deadline as I could with hopes of other announcements to include in my shipment that never came to be

looks like my McFarlane book made the cut for round 2 as it hit SFG status today
