Well, I'm glad you did. Thanks for showing it to clear things up. Shark

There might be an interior issue (staining?) that keeps the overall grade of the book at 9.0. Call for grader notes to be sure. Nice books! As far as I know, the standing policy at CGC is that the overall grade of a double or triple cover comic is the grade of the interior most cover. Mr. Borock? Care to chime in here?

My 1st submission of double cover issues to CGC just came back today: Looks like I might have to send the Hardcase #1 back into CGC....looks like they made a mistake. The CGC label says 9.0 in the left corner but in the middle says "1st cover 8.5, interior cover 9.2". This one is also at CGC awaiting grading. Should know the grade on it either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm hoping for a 9.2 or 9.4. Shark

The latest shipment from CGC should arrive early this afternoon and I'll be starting an all slab sale tonight. These will be mostly X-Men issues between 198 and 251 with some other titles sprinkled in here and there. Almost all of the X-Men issues are 9.6's or 9.8's with just a couple of 9.4's. The 9.8's I will be selling are #198, 201, 213 (3 copies), 221, 222 and 234. Shark

My latest purchases through ComicLink: The TTA #42 was advertised as a FN/VF but it might be just a bit sweeter than that. Shark

Geesh.....this seems like Christmas WEEK to me. 2 more packages were waiting for me when I got home from work today: 1) A big box of about 80 Marvel Bronze Age horror comics from Dover 2) A box of 5 Amazing Spider-Man/Web of Spider-Man slabs from CDaBruce. Thanks for the great comics AND the great packaging jobs on both boxes. (thumbs u Shark

More early Christmas presents today: 1) Kudos to pastandpresentcomics for 3 nice Amazing Spider-Man slabs. 2) Kudos to tatterdemalion for 11 sweet Bronze Age Marvels. Thanks! Shark

It felt like Christmas today. I received 4 packages (3 from boardies) so kudos need to go out to the following: 1) sborock for a sweet Conan #7 CGC 9.0 2) rube11 for a very nice Fantastic Four #42 CGC 8.0 3) The_Beyonder for a very sweet Iron Man #128 SS CGC 9.4 signed by John Romita Jr. Thanks a bunch guys!

Bid kudos to 2 guys: 1) Big Daddy for a nice slabs for raw swap. 2) Annihilus for 3 nice TPB's. Thanks guys! (thumbs u Shark

I got the grades over several weeks and CGC was supposed to deliver them to me at WWTx. However, when I got there and asked Paul about them he gave me the deer in the headlights look. I assured him I wasn't kidding so he jumped on the phone and got them shipped out ASAP. It would have been nice to have them to show off at the Forum Dinner but better late than never. Anyway, I'm saving up for a potential big purchase so most, if not all, of these will be over in the Marketplace soon. Sweet haul Stronguy! Let me know when you start a sales thread! Shark

Big kudos to ft88 for a Scchhhweeeett Spectacular Spider-Man #1 Mag! Shark

Kudos to comicwiz for a sweet Hulk #6. Thanks Joseph! Shark

Kudos to silverage12c for a nice slabbed Crypt of Shadows #8. Thanks Doug! Shark

Big kudos to r1970d (Roy) for a sweet deal on a very nice Journey Into Mystery #94. Thanks Roy! Shark (Mike)

Need to make up for a lot of buying I've been doing lately so I'll be starting a sales thread later this afternoon. It'll be kind of an anything and everything sale with a few low number Spideys and X-Men for sale, maybe some old (1950) Batmans.....hard to tell what I'll be listing. Shark

Looks like a pretty even distribution curve to me....
