Johnny545 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Aaaaaaand they arrived.... These were the books that were pressed by Joey. Action Comics 76: Raw 3.5 to CGC 5.0 Cream to Off White Amazing Spider-man 2: Old Label 3.0 to CGC 5.0 Off White to White Hulk 181: PGX 6.5 to CGC 9.0 White (Still cannot believe that) X-Men 1: Old Label 4.5 to CGC 5.5 Off White to White 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. Love to here stories like this. I have a bunch of GA books in PGX slabs that look better than the graded. I think I will crack a few and take a closer look. Thanks for the recap and congrats.

Key Largo Comics Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 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 Ah, good to hear. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarfa Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This was my very first submission to CGC. I submitted it at Wizard World Austin. I was expecting the grade to be 9.6 or 9.4. So I'm pretty happy that it turned out as well as it did. I did this for a friend for his up coming 40th birthday. He got me ASM 129 for my 40th.
