Or How Did I Get Ahead if Lee K?

 

After reading "Graded and Waiting" by mre1129 I figured I would check out my status. I already know my ASM #129 has been graded and is stuck somewhere in USPS limbo. This bothers me more than the wait that CGC has imposed on us. It left Sarasota, Fl on the ninth and had not yet landed anywhere? This was graded using the express service.

 

The other book I was looking for is my ASM #128. I bought a very nice copy for only $20 from Comics to Astonish and decided to roll with it. I decided to create a mini set for me, currently I want to try to get the books from 119-129 all in a 9.6 SS (or greater). I have 127 and 129, now I'm hoping the 128 will make it. Although I think it will hit a 9.4. I used the next service down, which is 15 business days. After five days, it's still in verified.

 

So what surprised me was my last books from the NYCC have just been marked shipped/safe. This was a five book invoice, all with signatures. Two are books from my own personal collection. My 77, is a triple signature 9.6 and my 21 is a double signature 8.0. The other three (9,19,& 22) all retained there9.8 status and after only (approximately) 98 days they are in the way back to me. The thing is I always expected Lee K's books to make it back to him first. Now I just have to check on the two invoices I had originally go through Matt Nelson and hope they are on their way back to me too.

 

Thanks for reading

On the ASM #129 if it is going registered mail (which I assume it is), the USPS doesn't provide any tracking for it other than that they received it. Because of the precautions they take with registered mail it can be rather slow.
