Great books, and those scans are so clear. (worship) You must have a really nice scanner.

Thanks, Mike. It's an old scanner that's popular around here (Microtek i800) with scanning software from a different company (VueScan).

 

But I messed around with the software settings until I found a decent recipe. Still not perfect, but way better than my old scans.

Got my first subs ever from CGC, these were dropped off at SDCC this year.

 

Amazing Spiderman #42. 9.0. White pages

Amazing Spiderman #51. 8.5. Off white/white pages

Amazing Spiderman #121. 6.5. Off white/white.

 

And sadly

 

Amazing Spiderman #56 apparent 8.5 slight P

 

I've had all these books for years and just now started buying graded books.

 

It sure is fun getting a box of books in the mail not knowing what the grades are inside. It took 5 months to get them back, but I think I'll do it again this year at SDCC.

Nice book Wes. (thumbs u

 

That's a tough book to find in decent shape. I finally found one about eight months ago. Incidentally it is also a slabbed 7.5. Congrats. It's a real keeper. Great story, too. It was first reprinted in Superman Annual 2 of which I have a raw and slabbed copy so I've read the story a few times. Also I remember reading the book as a kid. I had a beater from Cherokee Books in Hollwood, Calif.

Received my three today. Don't have a scanner hooked up at the moment, therefore, no pics. :P

Highest graded in the census.

 

Crime Suspenstories 22 CGC 4.5 Universal C/OW

CGC did not make a notation on the label about the book being signed (by Bill Gaines) on the first page. I guess when the book drops below a certain grade, they disregard the mention of any interior writing, ie "Name written on first page in pen". Oh well.

Not so. I have a 1.8 book that received the notation. Might have just been missed.
