Just found out

 

Uncanny X-Men 141 9.0 WHITE

Uncanny X-Men 142 8.5 WHITE

X-Factor 6 9.8 WHITE

X-Factor 24 9.8 WHITE

 

 

Got the exact grades I thought they would

 

I thought both 141-142 would be around 8.0 so seeing one get a 9.0 and the other get an 8.5 makes me happy

 

I'm pretty stoked. hope X-Factor 5 comes back a 9.8, but I doubt it will. I'm sure it will be in the 9.4-9.6 range

 

X-Factor 6 = The 1st full appearance of Apocalypse who happens to be my all time favorite villain :)

Just received my submission on Monday. This was my coupon submission, was running out of time to use it, so, I grabbed some books and sent them in.

 

Kind of surprised at the Submariner. Thought it would come back around a 5 - 5.5. Thought the Rachel Rising would be higher, but, after getting it back, it seems to have developed a lower right corner ding. Don't recall seeing it when I sent it in.

Any idea what might have pressed out/cleaned off the Hulk 181?

No idea... The ASM2 and XMen1 looked too nice for the grade and were in old labels so it was worth a shot as all four books are for my personal collection anyway. The Action needed to be graded eventually. The Hulk 181 was just a fluke. It was in a PGX slab that I had picked up not knowing anything at the time, the difference between PGX and CGC. I picked that up a long time ago along with a PGX Hulk 180. After learning the difference I never cracked it figuring ignorance is bliss. I really didn't see what brought it down to a 6.5. So off to Florida it went.

 

The Hulk 180 PGX 5.0 is of the same grading order so I am tempted to send that off to see what that gets, but that is for another day.

Quillantankard -

 

What scanner are you using?

Johnny, it's an HP Scanjet 8250. Bought it off Ebay for $75.

 

Are you asking because the scans look good or not so good? Still working on my scanning skills. Any feedback is appreciated.

 

Thanks. I was asking because IMHO the scans look good. (thumbs u
