So that #1 ended up getting a 9.8, was that the same one that you posted in the PGM?

yup, same one

That's fantastic :applause: you should update that thread, I don't remember how many people graded it that high.

I finally got the grades on my books from Heroes Con in Charlotte back in June. The grades overall are good I guess but I'm disappoInted with a few of them. I will post first what I thought they would grade, then the grade CGC gave them.

Ultimate Fantastic Four 21 (variant cover) 9.6/9.8

Vengeance of Bane 1 9.2/9.4

Batman 497 9.8

 

SS Subs

Crisis on Infinite Earths 8 SS by Perez 9.6 (bought CGC slabbed at 9.6)

Vampirella 34 SS by Wrightson 9.2

This is the first time I have received lower grades on books that were already graded before by CGC. I guess we as collectors all go through this at some point or other when submitting, but man it sucks.

 

A few notes on the books I sent, the Vengeance of Bane was a Christmas gift one year from my parents so I wanted to get it graded just for that reason. I knew it was not going to be a super high grade book. Also, the TOTZ was bought raw off of ebay. It was listed as 9.2 by the seller.

 

I'm still a little new to the CGC grading game but like I said, I guess overall I did ok. I will post photos when the books come in along with a few other CGC books I've gotten back recently.

 

Thanks guys

Interesting. I didn't know that squarebound books with cardstock covers could be pressed. Congrats :applause:

My submissions from Baltimore and Philly came back. The ones from Baltimore came back before the Philly books because of Fast Track.

 

Pretty satisfied with everything, when I consider what I expected and paid for everything.

Adams totally damaged this one himself, but I'm still happy with the sketch, especially since Adams stopped doing $50 sketch covers after Baltimore.

Only disappointment, but it's my own fault. I was mistreating this book while I had it at the con.
