Solo #5 1:25 18 total on census and this is the only 9.8 SS

Came in today, far too much money but loved her in GOT and Solo. Anyway love the cover on this really hard to find book and as of today it’s the only SS 9.8

Thanks. I just might do that

Thing is this place is apparently in Florida so you’d think he’d just do CGC in house. Plus the way I found out about it was that CGC was promoting it so I’m not sure that’s going to happen

Looks like Hughes is doing a signing with a Facilitator “Agents of Slabs” anyone have any experiences with these guys. I’m always Leary about sending books into a private group without hearing positive stuff about them before hand.

First grader is executed

Hopefully not until comic TATs are much lower

Whenever he needs a new boat

Hi Jennifer thank you for your fast response. allowing the grader to see the previous grade seems really odd to me, in fact I’m really having a hard time imagining a purpose for this other than to influence the new grade and to avoid a huge gulf between the old grade and a new one. I do appreciate the information though, thank you.

Let me start by saying I am not here to trash CGC. I am, by and large very happy with CGC particularly with their customer service. I have had about ~200 books either graded or in the process of being graded by CGC over the last 18 months when I opened by account. Generally speaking I have been satisfied with the grades received, sometimes they are a bit higher and sometimes a bit lower than I had hoped for. And to be honest I’ve actually had more pleasant surprises than disappointing ones as I consider myself a tough grader so my expectations are never sky high. that said I submitted an SS order in person at TorpedoCon this summer and I was assisted by the incredibly helpful Brittany. I received this order a few weeks ago and honestly I was pretty shocked by the grades I received. So much so that I’m considering a resub for a second opinion. Normally when people are unhappy with a blue label sub, they simple crack out and resubmit, however with an SS it’s a little tricky because it has to be sent in it slab. So I have a couple of questions and I’m hoping you can shed some light on.. if I submitted a slabbed SS book does the person who ends up regrading the book know that this is a submission of a previously graded book? If so do they know what the previous grade was? my issue is obviously that if they do know that it’s a resub then they know it wasn’t given a 9.8 initially and this may cause them to not be open to giving it a 9.8 grade and furthermore if they have access to the previous grade it seems to me that they may be disinclined to overrule a coworkers opinion. Clearly I can’t know if a grader might act in this way however I’d rather not burn money in order to find out. thanks PS - I am aware that the grades I received may be a result of some internal defect rather than the cover. If this turns out to be the case and I overlooked some internal damages, that is something I believe needs to be accounted for with grader notes. I actually completely understand why CGC doesn’t provide notes on every book. However if the damage is not visible when slabbed I believe it should be absolutely mandatory to be explained in grader notes.

Entered!!!!

Let’s Go!!

Damn you’re right. Sending it in on the next one for this

Did you request the blood or was that just a sweet bonus. Looks awesome

This is incredible. Two questions, are there any visible defects? I had a similar issue getting an in person sketch from Jim Lee this summer. It came back a 9.6 and it seems absolutely flawless to me. is this for sale? Of course I’ll have to get a discount since it is a 9.4

They have CGC listed as a vendor on their site. However there is no mention of CGC attending anywhere on this site. Can you clarify?

I’ve seen some Jim Lee SS books on eBay that have to be from this signing event because of the dates. So things are definitely moving

Nevermind. I found a post a few years old that discusses this. For anyone that is curious it apparently refers to damage that occurs during a press where the pattern of the Teflon Sheets is imprinted upon the cover or back cover

I recently received a book that had notes. One of the things mentioned was ‘Canvassing’ I do not know what this refers to. Would you mind shedding some light?

Wow they showed this one on IG. You got a beauty
