I can understand the use of the Green label on issue 1 (due to the Married page), but issue 2 should not have a Green label. 

Yeah, I found it quite odd. I'm not sure if it's the severity of the defects, or the dollar amount, or what. Was hoping maybe somebody else knew for sure.

Funny enough I own a copy of ASM 2 in the exact same grade with the exact same page missing. Think if I send this one in for a reholder I get the green/yellow combo label?

Yeah I would definitely worry about it being a slashed green/ yellow if you got it reholdered or a sig added. I might have to ask CGC about this. That's funny it's the same page missing lol.

Interesting - the scan of the book doesn’t look nearly as bad, which would indicate that the book is being actively damaged in the slab, either by rough handling or shipping?

There seems to be some of that going around. I got back a WoS #1 9.6, sold it last week, and when it arrived at the customer's place today, the bottom was all kinds of damaged (see pic). A week before that, another customer got his Invincible #1. It graded 9.4. When it got to him, the top was eaten up. The invincible customer said the inner well is completely loose, and the book is moving around in the well to boot. The WoS guy says his moves, nothing crazy, but apparently enough to chew up the bottom of the book 🤔 So I wouldn't be absolutely shocked if there was spine damage instead in someone else's book, as it seems to only be affecting one side of the books in question. 

I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to necro this thread to bring you this....ASM #1& #2 CGC 0.5, Qualified Labels. I googled and searched through the forums to find out more about this practice, but I can't find anything and this was one of the more recent threads on the subject. I guess on very high dollar books, a Qualified label will be given when there's a significant defect(s)? Or maybe I missed some kind on announcement about this at one point. Anywho, just thought it was funny and I'd share. 

We're not allowed to promote other grading companies here, but there is an option for this beyond CGC. Google is your friend.

Hi Matt.

Good to see nice books being offered here, but you'd better check the Selling Guidelines.

You can't list books on other venues, such as ebay, and here at the same time. You also need to list accepted forms of payment. Not trying to give you a hard time, but your thread will get pulled by the mods if it doesn't adhere to the guidelines.

Thanks for the info. I will adjust accordingly. Appreciate it!

Bought a stack of ASMs this week, decided to do a revison on a mid-grade 282 today for fun

The case on my Suayan showed up with a handful of scratches but I don't have the energy or desire to deal with sending it back. 

Probably 75% of the books I've gotten back in the last 6 months have either had significant Newton rings, scratches on the case, or both. I don't bother sending them back, just takes too much time/ effort.

Same with mine. I emailed last week asking about adding a special label since they added new ones after I sent my Suayan book in. They said signing was done last month so they couldn't add the label. But mine still haven't moved from SFG.

Mine just moved to GEI today so hopefully you see some movement on yours soon as well

Not sure if there's another thread with just sketches, but thought I'd share this one. Romita Jr/ Hanna sketch I won on an Instagram Giveaway last summer, just arrived yesterday.

After having my scores consecutively tumble to where I am near the bottom. 

Time for a strong finish. 

Lol, this is me. 100%

I over-graded quite a bit this round, don't know what I was thinking. That last round knocked me from 3rd place overall to somewhere near the bottom in one shot. I've been consistently undergrading compared to CGC in each round until the last one and  am usually only off by a grade or 2, not 5-6 grades on a single book. 1st round? 5 points. 2nd round? 2 points. 3rd round? 16 freaking points lol.

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll guess waayyy far off.

Haha, yeah, probably. 7 grades away is close, right?

Grades are in. I feel like my scores are either going to be super close to the actuals, or waayyy far off lol.
