Any good?

I’m not the best person to ask. I loved it. But I’ve been a staunch supporter of it since production was announced so maybe I’m biased. Bob Macleod the co creator had some really negative thoughts on it today but more that the credits spelled his name wrong and he didn’t like any of the casting. He hasn’t seen the movie. Claremont wants to but no theater near where he lives is open. Boone has also made waves with his defense of the Roberto casting. The 3rd act is balls to the wall. That’s the one thing you can know for sure. The women were all great. I loved the CGI and effects. So far not enough professional reviews for a concensus but so far not great. But a lot oF these critics are upset it wasn’t screen for them for free and they had to buy their own ticket. So a long answer is I loved it but sadly this seems to be the minority point of view right now.

But back to the discussion at hand. I have another New Mutants #1 but don’t think it’s as good of quality as this one was. So that’s why I didn’t send it in. But I guess I’ll be happy with my 8.0 signed. I mean it’s just going in my CGC box. I have a number of them. But most are ones my local CBS submits for me. And other ones I’ve purchased on eBay. Like my Howard the Duck #1 9.8. Excalibur Special Edition 9.8 signed by Lee, Claremont, and Davis. 

The four books I’ve discussed here.. the two Graphic Novel Mags and These Two Regular Issues. One that was a previous sign series slabbed one. We’re the first I ever submitted on my own, the first I didn’t ask my comic store buddies.. They are good at looking and telling you what the grade is. I didn’t have their help on these. So my eye test didn’t really fail. I expecting what I got on my God Loves Man Kills and New Mutants Graphic Novel. Excalibur #1 was already a 9.8. But I did really misjudge my New Mutants #1. I thought it was at least a 9.0 and it turned out an 8.0. But the grader notes gave me a better understanding of why I misjudged it. Those things I completely missed.

Good morning,

Thanks for your message.  Yes, we can press and regrade signature series books and have them retain the signature series label as long as those books are cracked out of the CGC holder here in our office.  It does sound like the defects you described might be helped with pressing.  You can find more information on what pressing can and can't do on our website here: https://www.cgccomics.com/ccs-pressing/  You can also have your books screened to see if they would be good candidates for pressing, if you are not sure.

If you have any questions, please let us know.  Thank you!

Thank you for the response. When I get some extra money I just might do that.

For the record. I’m never planning on selling these so I mean I’m debating even doing it. Would I like a higher grade? Sure. But other than just for myself it’s not like I’m doing it for resale value. So I mean i guess it’s.. would I feel any better if it’s a 9.0 instead of an 8.0 for the extra money it would cost if the only reason i do it for my permanent collection? I guess it’s the debate. I guess I should wait to see the color breaking when I get it back. If their is some like you guys speculate then yeah.. I won’t do it! It’s signed by Claremont now. That was the point. But for the first real comic I sent in myself. It’s a learning experience.

Just coincidentally got back from the New Mutants movie. Thanks for the responses.

Question I’m about to get New Mutants #1 back in an 8.0. These are the grading notes. Are these able to maybe be pressed out in the future?

Grader Notes:
light creasing to cover
light finger bends on cover
light spine stress lines to cover

Im just curious if signature series are able to be unslabbed by CGC, pressed, re graded and slabbed again?

To add to the above discussion. The other one I’m getting back in this batch is an Excalibur #1 9.8 that was already signed by Alan Davis. I sent it in to get Claremont to add his signature. Thankfully it stayed a 9.8. But I hear that’s not always a guarantee. So while the above 8.0 sort of made me upset. Only because it was one of my first times and I was stupid and didn’t get it cleaned and pressed. Because looking at the notes it would have helped. So basically I’m  mad at my mistake nothing CGC did. But anyway, just glad my Excalibur #1 stayed a 9.8. 

I got my magazine signings back from CGC last week. I had sent those one week prior to the comics I sent in. CGC got them 6/11.

on 6/18 they got my comics for Claremont and it still says Status: Scheduled for Grading. 

im not worried. I just figured they got the magazines done first. 

here are the mags btw...

and the status..

Another bump from me. Hey, what can I say. Any special graded comic magazines slab sleeves/bags? 

Thanks. If only I had more than just two. Lol. I’ll add it to my watch list and see tomorrow when I get them if it’s worth the $30 for storage.

I’ve only sent like 7 books in. This was my biggest surprise which was my latest submission. Thought it was going to be a 9.4. Turned out to be a 9.8. Alan Davis Variant cover. 1:100 Hidden Gem Variant.

I know this is old but getting my two signed graded Claremont mags in the mail tomorrow that are signed and slabbed. I can’t seem to find one.

Why get such beat comics slabbed?

To be Slabbed. Basically. 
but in all seriousness I dug them out of my dads boxes and just well may do it for kicks. 

Silver Age. Both probably a 1.5/2.0 if graded. I couldn't get a good answer at my local CBS the other day. Said it likely depends on the quality. If that’s the quality what would it be? 

Newbie here. I’m doing the Claremont in house signing I decided. If I send it out the morning of Tuesday June 2nd. Will it get to CGC headquarters in time by the June 15th deadline? 

I was looking at my #5 and still can’t tell even with this help what the printing is. It has the right price tags for first printing. But sleeker font? What’s that?
