    THAT is absolutely incredible. I don't get jealous often but I am now. I'm not familiar with this print. What is the history behind it? I'd love to track one down someday.
  2. BeardedBubba
    Oh wow! Those are awesome! I'd actually like to get a print of Lairds.

    Modern Magazine - 4 Books: Arrived 2/12 Scanned: 2/12 Received and SFG: 2/14

    So I actually got selected for tickets on Saturday. I entered the lottery a while back and now I won't be able to make the trip. This stinks. I just know Peter Laird is going to show up even though he's not officially announced. So there will be at least two more tickets going back into the pool for you guys that can still make it.

    No I submitted it as magazine. I just assumed it was always magazine due to it's size.

    I might misunderstand the question, but I just submitted a Last Ronin #1 first edition yesterday.

    Two weeks ago I flew across the country to pick this up ungraded! I pressed it and cleaned it then submitted it to CGC. It was delivered back to me today. I'm over the moon. I never thought I'd get one with this type of grade.
  8. BeardedBubba
    I cleaned and pressed it and it was delivered back to me today! Great googily moogily it's better than I hoped.
  9. BeardedBubba
    Yoooooooo! That’s a great grade (obviously). Congrats!! did you buy it to grade or have you owned it for a while? I’m always entertained by the stories behind the books.
  10. BeardedBubba
    Congrats, man! It looks like you got a nice value bump from the grading. My UV book shipped today too!

    I just texted customer service. I opted to pay $5 for hi-res imaging with my Unlimited Value submission. That adds 10 days to the turn around time. So the "delay" is my own fault. It's not really a delay. I didn't notice the +10 days when I submitted. Doh!
  12. BeardedBubba
    You gotta be kidding me? How in the world?
  13. BeardedBubba
    It's always possible they could upcharge you if they determine your book is worth more than you declared it. But I only paid so much because I declared it's value at $20,000. It's a TMNT #1 first print that is in pretty decent shape.

    1 Book Unlimited Value Dropped at UPS 1/30 Delivered/Scanned at CGC - 1/31 SFG -2/1 GEI - 2/2 G/QC - 2/5 On day 5 of an estimated 3 day turnaround. Starting to wonder what's going on. $700+ to grade a book and it's just sitting there.

    I'm on day 4 of an Unlimited Value magazine submission. It's been in the Grading/Quality Control stage for over 24 hours now. So it looks like there might be a hold up somewhere on the magazine side, potentially.
  16. BeardedBubba
    Congrats on the big book. I feel like it should go into Grading/Quality Control and ship within a few days (maybe today or tomorrow).
  17. BeardedBubba
    That is so awesome but having that much stuff would actually drive me nuts.
  18. BeardedBubba
    It got a 7.0. Grader Notes crease left top of back cover finger creases right center of front cover

    I love all the art and signatures. It all looks awesome. But just out of curiosity, why did you ask them to bend up the book?
  21. BeardedBubba
    Yeah that doesn’t give me any comfort. This was a bigger problem than one or two employees. It’s a lack of oversight and security. And we have no way of knowing what (if anything) has been done about it. They may have totally overhauled their internal procedures. But we have n way of knowing.
  22. BeardedBubba
    I have an unlimited value submission there right now and I'm extremely worried. If I would have seen this news before I sent it, I probably wouldn't have. All I can think about is my book sitting on a shelf waiting to be stolen.
  23. BeardedBubba
    I've worked for companies that required me to get someone to unlock a cabinet so I could get supplies like pens and paper. It's shocking if CGC blindly trusted all employees around our books. The phrase "keeping them honest" comes to mind here.
  24. BeardedBubba
    Agreed. I have zero expectations of any type of public acknowledgement or explanation since there is currently litigation and anything said by CGC can be used in court. Unfortunately I think people are going to have to be patient with this one. Even though they have every right not to be.

    I grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. My first shop was Comics and Things on Holland Rd. I used to walk up there in the late 80s-90s and buy comics and cards. Good memories of buying all the X-Men 1 covers. 😁
