osborn_fr Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Finallly got this one back from CGC. Too bad for the chip, i think it would be a 8.0 if it wasn't missing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudofwit Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Indulge me if you don't mind...my first submission to CGC was back in 2005 when I submitted my ASM #1. Because of a financial crunch back in '99, I "sold" it to my dad with the understanding that he would keep it (and 39 other ASMs below #100) until I bought them back--and he would freeze them at '99 Guide values. So although he's still in possession of it (:laugh:), he let me send it off. It came back a blue label, 1.0 (OWW). The cover is detached and a 3/4" lrc triangular piece is missing. It actually presents quite nice for a 1.0 and I grumbled for a bit, knowing it was an easy 1.5, maybe even 2.0. No pics, though, since pops has it back now. :frown: So, my 2nd ever submission was a couple of months back: I sent in three ASMs that I had graded at 9.2: #54, 56, and 70. I was hoping () for a 9.4, maybe a 9.6 on at least one of them. I just got them back today. A bad sign was when I signed for them at the door, I turned around to go back in our apartment and tripped over the concrete slab of a porch we have (:doh:); thankfully, the box cushioned my blow. Somehow my sock was soiled with dirt on top of my toes and I skinned my knee up pretty good. The mailman did a good job of acting concerned, but I'm thinking he was trying his best not to crack up. So I go back into the cool of the air-conditioning and tear into the package. :cry: The only highlight (:think: not so for PQ folks though): ASM CGC 9.2 (CRM/OW)--blue label. ASM #54 9.0 (OW)--PLOD: slight professional, "very small amount of color touch on cover." ASM #56 9.2 (OW)--PLOD: slight amateur, "small amount of color touch on cover." :frown: No pics because I don't have a scanner, and even if I did, sharing this would add to my blues I'm afraid. :think: However, if anyone is interested in either of the PLODs for a great price (:laugh:), PM me with your e-mail and I'll have the wife shoot some pics for me, and I'll send 'em on. The Meatloaf song title "2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad" does not apply for my PLOD majority this afternoon. Edited June 27, 2008 by cloudofwit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue where I bought both of them, but either via mail order, at an LCS or a con (now that narrows it down, eh? :laugh:). The #56 was a 9.2 (slight amateur color touch). Now the rest of what I thought were my HG late Silver Age Spideys I'm going to submit to Matt Nelson; I hear for $3 a pop he'll do a restoration check on them and considering my batting average with today's package, that sounds very kosher!
