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 (:wishluck:) 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::cry: :cry:

 

The only highlight (:think: not so for PQ folks though): ASM CGC 9.2 (CRM/OW)--blue label. :banana:

 

ASM #54 9.0 (OW)--PLOD: :cry: slight professional, "very small amount of color touch on cover." :sorry:

 

ASM #56 9.2 (OW)--PLOD: :cry: 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. :mad:

Now , go take out ALL that giberish from the start until you get down to the grades and prices .

Then go start a sales thread w/ just that info .

Most don't want to read that much , and nobody cares about all the drama of how you got at this point (except me :/:/)

 

And shoot them to me , I may take the ASM's .............................BH

Sorry man. Getting a PLOD is the worst feeling. Getting 2 out of 3...blows. Did you buy them both from the same person?

 

What was the grade on the 56? Was it at least a 9.2?

Thanks for the empathy. :foryou: I've had them in my personal collection of ASMs since the 1980s. 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!
