Just got back my books from the Claremont signing this morning.  I had 3 books in this set that were from my childhood collection (Wolverine 1, X-men 239 and X-men 244).  I thought the Wolverine 1 and X-men 244 had 9.8 potential but am happy with the 9.6 grade.  They look amazing and I can't see where the defect is.  The X-Men 239 was a big swing and a miss.  I'm not sure how I didn't see when sending it in, but a piece of the back corner was missing which landed it at a 9.0.  Other than that, it looks amazing.  Chalk that one up to a learning process.  The x-men 120 and 121 were gifts from my girlfriend and I knew they had visible damage so I just crossed my fingers with those.  I'm happy how they present.  I thought the Wolverine 8 would have been a 9.6 or 9.8 but with no grader notes, I can't see why it scored a 9.4.  Unfortunately, the X-men 121 will have to go back for re-holder and new label as they didn't include the page quality (White Pages etc.).  Strange thing is, the page quality isn't in the registry database either so did they even bother evaluating it?  Does that mean that it will need to go through the entire re-grade process?  Also, I'm not sure what the hell Claremont was doing when he signed the X-Men 121.  All the comics were signed in a nice silver marker that stands out and then for some reason, he signed the X-Men 121 in a regular pen that just blends into the art.  Come on Chris!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice books, yeah that 121 makes no sense in both that missing page quality or why CC would have just signed that one in pen and not marker like the rest ... unfortunate

Yeah that irks me.  All the other signatures look great and that one just disappears into the cover.  It makes no sense.

A pretty drekky bunch in this one....No issues with the grades, they are accurate. 

The Secret Wars run was from a small collection I picked up in Lees Summit, Mo about 12 years ago. 6 long boxes, he wanted $200.  Sure. There were lots of early Harley Quinn appearances (no BA 12), lots of cool Indie and Manga, Ghosts in The Shell, Domu, nearly a full run of Blade of the Immortal...still waiting for that movie! I think the Godzilla/Barkley was in there as well. And the Secret Wars.  They sat for all this time I finally figured, screw it, pressed them and sent them in,
