this is after SDCC Weird It depends on the day they get into the system. The books aren't "received" at the show. it takes a while to get into the system from a con drop-off. Also, there's some weird alchemy. Things aren't purely FIFO.

face... melting....

I actually got a DD vol. 2 #5 (variant) and vol. 2 #9 both 9.8 in that batch as well. It's just about my best sub of all time. Everything came in as expected/hoped.

Yeah, I'm trying to finish my Byrne run ( http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=74309 ) and was looking for 289 and 292. I got five candidates at 9.6+ and I got 3 9.8 289s and 1 9.8 and 1 9.6 292.
-
I'll put up a WTB, too. If it's half as successful as my last one I'll be pumped- I bought five Byrne FFs in about 24 hours and ended up getting 4 9.8s and one 9.6.One little 9.4 should be doable.

$975 http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=537141 I won five books in that auction and just watched that #55 spiral away from me. I think I bowed out at like $500. I have faith an 86 will show up at some point. I'm going to go full-court press on trying to find one since it's the last hole (other than #1 which is easier to source if much more expensive.) I don't have anything in the pipeline. I don't have anything for the #72 or the Annual #3 either. I don't mind the 72 as much as it's just a 9.2 but it's Western Penn, I think upgrading the Annual #3 is going to be beast There's one 9.8, six 9.6s and two 9.4s. That's tougher than 86 (one 9.8, four 9.6s and seven 9.4s) I hear you about #86. I'd be doing the exact same thing. Exact. I think the Annual #3 won't be too bad. Have you started to look for candidates yet or just seeing what pops up slabbed? I can't remember where I got mine....but I know that one was purchased in a CGC case. I would think there would be a decent number of nice HG raw ones out and about. Not many have been subbed, that's for sure. I'll start looking for raw copies of Annual #3, too. That's a good idea. I haven't been looking for them raw at all and I think the only graded copy I've ever seen is the one I bought.

Thanks!

I'd love to see that Oakland 86 resurface

(I still can't get over than Annual 3)

Oh man! Those are gorgeous books. Wow.

Yeah, it's a great cover. I can't wait to get the book in hand. I think the scan is a little light so it's going to be even nicer in person.
-
Wanna try for a 9.8...? Maybe not with this one, but I'm sure your powers will be called on for at least one of the above slots. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
-
By the way... I pulled the trigger on this tonight. It was expensive, but less expensive than the last #55 9.4 that sold at ComicConnect (that went for over $900) so I don't feel all that bad about it. I'm now down to 2 holes (#1 and #86) and 3 upgrades (#7,#72 and Annual #3) for the 1-157 set in 9.4 or better.

A few weeks ago, I put out a call for some Byrne era Fantastic Fours. I got 5 9.6+ candidates from the board. All five hit the mark- 4 9.8s and one 9.6. Add to that a couple of random DD v2s and it's a pretty good sub.
-
Killer spine, for sure. I'm really excited to see how it does. Hopefully it will be an outrageous, head-scratching result. Of course, since it's a book I'm selling and not a book I'm buying it'll probably sell for $20.

They get paid $5 for the pre-screen if the book fails

"shipped/safe?" Shipped/safe books should be in your hands. If it's "received" then that's perfectly normal for slower tiers. Books sit at "received" for a long- time. I double checked and they say shipped/safe and hasn't changed in awhile. I do not have them in my hand and cannot see the grades. I assume they are waiting for other books to be ready before they ship, but I assume at this point I would able to see the grades, instead of getting this response when I click on invoice number. "Details not yet available for invoice xxxxxxx. Grades are not displayed until submission ships." Sounds like a multi-ship order? Shoot CGC an email and I'm sure they'd be happy to send you the grades. Yeah, that means the grades should be there. To the OP are you a collector's society member? You could look up the grades that way, too. I am a member of both CGC and Collectors Society. How do you look up your grades through collectors society? https://www.cgccomics.com/grading/verify-cgc-comic.aspx invoice # + three digits starting with 001 for the first book in the sub.

I'm afraid to post an RMA feedback thread...
rob_react replied to RockMyAmadeus's topic in Kudos Forum
I just had one of my best subs in ages, thanks to Joe. As some of you may know, I'm closing in on a Daredevil 1-157 set in 9.4. I need the #1, an upgrade on my #7 (I have a 9.2) and then a random assortment of books. Up until recently that list included #69 and #122. Let's talk about both because both are deserving of some specific kudos. The #122 I bought raw on ebay. The scan looked great. I paid a premium for it for a raw book ($50) but I need the book so that's that. I got it in the mail and it had definitely started its journey to me in high(ish) grade. It had some small issues, but overall was a clean book. Except for the CRUSHED ULC that had occurred during shipment. Packed in an envelope Anyway, I looked at it for a little bit and thought... "you know what, that might just work." I messaged RMA and told him I had a book I was "interested to see what he could do with..." The answer came in the mail today- CGC 9.6 without a hint of the crushed ULC. The second book is a little less circuitous but just as impressive. I bought a Voldemort 69 9.4 from Greg Reece (which IIRC was listed as being pressed already) Since I'm going for a registry set Voldemort won't do. I subbed it to CGC... 9.2 Again, I turned to RMA. Reading the notes it seemed like it would be easy to ensure we got to 9.4 on the resub.... We sure did. It came back CGC 9.8 -
I've already packaged up the 69 , but we'll see it soon at ComicLink.
