Many thanks to (worship) Scott (Wrightson fan) for the great idea of putting together a value tier submission and allowing me and some other forum members to submit some of our books. I sent Scott 10 books a couple months back and he just pm'd me the grades. :applause:

 

Here were my original grades:

 

Amazing Spider-Man #69 8.5 (from my OO collection)

Amazing Spider-Man #106 9.2 (from my OO collection)

Amazing Spider-Man #124 9.0 (from my OO collection)

Batman #121 3.5/4.0 (bought as a 5.0 from bronzilla)

Captain America 8.5/9.0 (bought as a 8.5 from nik)

Detective Comics #440 9.4

Fantastic Four #43 8.0 (from my OO collection)

Justice League of America #84 9.4 (bought as a 9.4 from johnenock)

Tales of Suspense #22 5.5

X-Men #17 7.5 (bought as a 6.5 from zillaf4 on ebay)

 

Grades realized:

 

Amazing Spider-Man #69 9.0 OW/W :)

Amazing Spider-Man #106 9.2 OW :)

Amazing Spider-Man #124 9.4 W :cloud9:

Batman #121 4.5 OW :)

Captain America 8.5 OW/W ;)

Detective Comics #440 9.2 OW/W :P

Fantastic Four #43 9.0 W :cloud9:

Justice League of America #84 9.6 OW/W :banana:

Tales of Suspense #22 6.0 C/OW :banana:

X-Men #17 ... the only book not graded yet :popcorn:

 

That ASM 106 is super-hard to find in hi-grade...I think you bought my 9.4 awhile back if I'm not mistaken...

Nice books Nik!

Kinda surprised at the PQ on the Avengers 14 as its a Big Apple and the SA stuff is notorious for COW pages.

Nice ASM 39. Thats when the good art started :banana:

Where are the DC's at :sumo:

 

How in the world did that FF#49 get a higher grade than that Avenger's #14 ?? ... (shrug)...Am I missing something ? That Avg.'s looks perfect , and that FF has all kinds of prob.'s ! ....

Does that mean you weren't happy with the grades on those or does that mean you had these pre-screened and ARE happy with them?

 

It's means I got stuck with a couple of 9.4s (not shown) that are gonna be a hard sell.

 

I am happy with the books shown, though.

Well....I have been trying to digest today the results from this Value Tier submission. Some really good grades as expected, a few better than expected. Some real shockers...and those are the ones that are the eye openers on buying raw books. I have one more book that hasn't been graded according to the status of the invoice. Maybe it will show up tomorrow.

 

Here are the Good, Bad, and the UGLY

 

Good

 

Forever People 3 9.6 OW Was hoping for better pages, but I had this one as a 9.4

 

Forever People 9 9.6 White. Bought this one from Collin and we both agreed and got the grade right. Thanks for the sweet copy sir!

 

Jimmy Olsen 145 9.4 OW/W I had this pegged as a 9.4

 

Jimmy Olsen 147 9.8 White. Really happy with this one as I had it at a 9.6

 

New Gods 7 9.6 OW/W I am happy with this as I had it at a 9.4

 

Mister Miracle 4 9.6 OW I had this one as a 9.4...and still feel that it is. A true gift grade on this one. They owed me though after the books at the end of this post.

 

Mister Miracle 16 9.6 White Had this one pegged correctly.

 

Swamp Thing 9 9.6 White

 

Swamp Thing 10 9.4 White I thought this one was a slam dunk 9.6. Not sure what I missed.

 

Bad

 

Swamp Thing 3 9.2 CR/OW I had this one down as a sure 9.4 with OW pages. SUX

 

Adventure 436 9.4 CR/OW I had this one down as a 9.6 with ow/w pages. I definitely do not agree with this one. Going to try and see what I missed.

 

UGLY

 

Swamp Thing 5 9.4 White SP Restored. I had it as a 9.4 White.....but there must have been some CT I missed on the book. SUX

 

Swamp Thing 8 9.8 OW/W TRIMMED Bought this as a PGX 9.8 White and re-submitted it to CGC. PGX needs to change their name to POS, because that is what they are.

 

New Gods 3 9.0 White. I totally missed on this book. I had it as a 9.6-9.8 White. The book was freaking gorgeous. I am going to have to get to the bottom on this one. This book bothers me more than the Swampies do. In either case, all 3 of them suk.

 

All in all some very nice grades, but damn, what a kick in the nutz some of these were.

 

Scott

 

Congrats on many of those...glad to see that CGC gave you a 9.6 W on the forever people 9.......cool beans. That's from an OO collection ............. it's a beauty.
