Thanks very much!

Hi,

I have a an old UK oversized comic that I would like to get signed by Gaiman.

It's a very non-standard size from 1987 that doesn't come close to fitting a yellow signing bag.

I have it in a magazine size sleeve and board.

Is this sufficient, or do I need to create windows in these sleeves?

An answer today would be great as trying to ship late this afternoon.

Thank you,

Bob

Ok....thanks for responding.

Hi,

I was just about to prepare my submission for the Peach Momoko signing and she is now gone from the listing.

Is there anyway to still submit?

I had submitted last year as well.

Thank you,

Bob

Any clue how these ended up being 9.6s and not 9.8s. Can you see an appropriate defect in all of them?

What I really hate is no notes on lower grades. In the 80s I bought a lot of comics, bagged and boarded them and never read them. Never touched them until recently sending them off and for example I got a 9.2 on one recently. The comic had never even been opened to look at until the grader did. How on earth is it a 9.2? I admit I am not a grader but I have been in the comic book collecting for about 40 years. I've sent other similar books off and gotten 9.8s. Why can't they explain what they see that drops a book several grades? I personally saw nothing and thats why I picked it to send off, pages where white, corners crisp, nothing missing, no creases of any kind, not misaligned, not rolled, not bent, not dirty, nothing. Is that why there are no notes? They don't see anything either?

I've sent off I think about 25 to 30 books. None have notes. Ranging from 9.2 to 9.8. 

I am having this same exact concern and frustration now. I'm starting to feel like some of the grades are very off the cuff and not based on any noticeable defects. With no notes, how do you know?

Are there any topics covering defects for 9.2 vs 9.4 vs 9.6 vs 9.8 so I can make better judgement in the future on what to send in?

Kurt,

Appreciate your comment. Just received 3 books back that I was confident would be 9.8s, all 3. They came back as (2) 9.4s and (1) 9.2 and I can see any discernible defects on any of them. No notes on any of them. Without notes, how am I supposed to understand what they're seeing as a defect and I'm not seeing, so I can better screen for the future.

Thx,

Bob

I'm in.
