Nemogollom Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 On 8/28/2018 at 10:31 AM, Dr. Love said: A sample size such as yours, 100 books, is very significant and would give much needed info, in a way that small lots of 2-5 books won't reveal as much. Thanks for being willing to come back and report! First 25 arrived (21 pass 9.8 pre-screen). 20 books without any rings, and one spawn book with a few. All of the SS stuff I've gotten back has been covered in rings, it was crazy that the first 20 books I looked at had none (never seen a case with absolutely none), but then the 21st one brought me back. Many more books coming in next week. ADAMANTIUM and KobaltDog 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cupny Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 These are the last of my 10 books - all FF's. FF 32 - This book was purchased already graded by the "P" company as a 8.5 and came back from CGC 7.0 FF 52 - Purchased this book from Ted at Superworld Comics in the early 2000's. Very pleased with the grade and purchase price! FF 55 - Purchased this one from a local show as a 9.0. Again, very pleased with the grade. mr_highgrade, Nemogollom, 427Impaler and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more books coming in next week. Next 26 arrived (21 pass 9.8 pre-screen). 18 without any front rings, 2 with tiny ones, 1 with a bunch. Some of the books had small rings on the backs but not really noticeable. I also had 5 80's x-men SS books, and an incredible hulk 271 (previously shown here as a misunderstood 9.6, but came back a 9.8 after review) that came back without rings. Lucky batch this time. Especially nice because that hulk/rocket book got both a bump and a new case without rings (it came back with rings the first time).

Popular Post ExNihilo Posted September 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2018 Both books were sent out as 9.4s, so I thought I would give them a press. Was hoping they would both come back with an improved score, but I'll happily settle for one upgrade vs none. Truth be told, I love the gold sig version and that will likely go into my personal collection. For starters there is the uniformity in the sharpie color and the fact that the names stand out on, what I feel like is, a very busy cover with a lot of black that makes it difficult to otherwise sign with black sharpie. Not to mention, Stan's sig, despite the use of thick gold is more legible. (Lower score and Newton rings be damned.)

Especially nice because that hulk/rocket book got both a bump and a new case without rings (it came back with rings the first time). Another two batches. 1 of 11 had medium rings on the front, and 1 other had a small set of rear rings. Then second batch actually went 18/18, although it was supposed to be 19/19 and they returned one of my 9.8 graded books... so, I need to follow up on how to get that slabbed now. The bulk of these are modern (~1992-1994) $50+ books that were stored for 25 years. I was going to dump them on eBay or mycomicshop. Does anyone sell on here to avoid fees, or should I just park them on consignment or something? Edited September 6, 2018 by Nemogollom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo-One Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Got this signed at SDCC (thanks Rich!). I know it's not high grade/dollar, but was one of my original purchases as a young kid, and I loved Sergio (still do) and Mad Magazine back then. Newton rings are present on both sides, but you can only see them when when case is tilted. Ride the Tiger and STORMSHADOW_80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
