Shark Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 More grades in today from one of my recent submissions. Disappointed on some (as usual), but a few goodies including a Batman #362 CGC 9.8 and a Planet Comics #1 (1988) CGC 9.8. I'll be selling both of those along with a bunch of other slabs including an ASM Vol. 2 #36 in 9.4, some Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars in 9.2/9.4, Iron Mans (9.0 to 9.4) and a Superman #400 CGC 9.6 when I receive them. (thumbs u More grades just in from a Standard submission: 1) Captain America Comics #21 CGC 4.5 (purchased from flatrock02 here on the boards as a 3.0/3.5 but it's been pressed since then by joeypost). 2) Incredible Hulk #6 CGC 5.0 (purchased from a board member back in 2008 as a 6.5 but at least it's a WHITE pager). 3) X-Men #1 CGC 1.8 PLOD SA (I bought this one on eBay a year or two ago and thought it would get a 1.8-2.0 but was never told it was restored. At least I got this pretty cheap with the Microsoft Live cash feedback program so I didn't get burned on this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Someday, I WILL find copies of this book that are actually WHITE, instead of their usual nice, but creamy, shade of off-white.... I KNOW they exist SOMEwhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeBailey Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I posted this in the Signature room but wanted to show here also. My only Stan Lee SS. I know it is low grade but this is the only one. John B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EwanUK Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Here's my 4th submission to CGC from the UK - and the first time I've been dissapointed. My past submissions have all resulted in multiple 9.8s - not one this time! I'm not having 'off-graders-sulk' but kinda takes the winds from one's sails! Starting with Swamp Thing no.30 I got this graded because of the double-cover (and it's a cool book). Thought the out-cover was a soft but inner at least 9.4. Came back a lowly 9.0. Next Miracleman TPBs These were actually "to see how they'd do" as I'd previously submitted a factory shrink-wrapped Apocrypha which came back a 9.8. So not expecting super high grades but none below 9.2. I'm particularly concerned about the Book 2 and Book 4 as both now have rear spine white marks as if the inner holder supporter has sheared paper-off because the books are so thick. I'm sure they weren't like this before. I know I should call for grader's notes. There's also a little sliver of spine in Book 3 which lends itself to my shearing theory. Anyone else had this? Next the Miracleman covered (still not on the label!) rare A1 Sketchbook. I have had 3 9.8s of this in the past. Thought these would be a 9.6 and a 9.8 (but the other way round!) Miracleman 17 Gold edition. This was previously a 9.4 so I guess it took its time to rest and has now become higer grade! Finally and by far the most surprising off all is my Preacher Preview which I've previously shown on the board. Found inside it's original DC promo mag, untouched by human hands, just perfect in every way.... ONLY came back a 9.6. I genuinely thought it'd be 9.9 or 10.0. Certainly now lower than 9.8. So not sure what to do with these now.... Hasn't put me off CGC just a bit of a bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LloydJBailey Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Really weird. You seem to have examined the books thoroughly and had good knowledge, but in all, I still think you have some lovely books.

Oh, and the gold foil edition should be in a green label. It was added by a comic book retailer (New Dimension) over a decade after the were printed. If *I* add gold foil to a book, will *I* get a blue label back? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
