More Arrivals!! posted by bagofleas

[CSJournals-migration]

Status changes and awesome deliveries!

 

They are starting to trickle in, one invoice at a time.

 

All of my issues at CGC that were signed in Baltimore are still a little way off. They are all currently sitting in Received status at CGC. I also currently have two invoices from Supercon that are in Quality Control. The two issues I sent to the NY masters signing have just reached CCS. But most importantly, three of the Supercon invoices and one from Tampa Bay CC are now back in my hot little hands!!!

 

And I couldn't be happier!

 

They all came back either retaining their grades or achieving the grades I had applied to them.

 

Here's what I have back:

Rai #0 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Bob Layton

Harbinger #1 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Bob Layton

 

Whew!!

 

The X-Factors were given to me by Ronnylama in return for getting a bunch of his comics signed at Supercon. So having them get 9.8s was fantastic! The #4 copy is now the single highest SS copy in the world!! A few others are OAKs as well. WW #5, Fanfare #26, ST:TNG #1, What If? #30 and WOS Annual #2 are all in this category!!

 

Having these come back retaining and achieving what they have is very encouraging for me when considering the 80 issues I am waiting for from Baltimore.

 

The 2 invoices that should be ready next are from Supercon and were all raw issues from either my original collection or sent to me from Ronnylama. I don't know for sure how they will all turn out. I have my grade guesses, but we will see.

Congrats on the run of 9.8's

[Brandon Shepherd]

Way to go on the sweet returns! I'm diggin' the What If? #30, lots of cool covers and ideas in that run.

[Ronnylama]

The x-Factor #4 is not the only one. I had my other one come back a 9.8 SS as well............Great books..........

[bagofleas]

Oh that's right! Forgot about that! So now we have the only ones!

 

Thanks again! You are the best!

An amazing haul. I hope we find out more by weeks end.

[bagofleas]

I was going by the census, which isn't showing any SS 9.8s

 

They just haven't updated it yet.

[SW3D]

Very very sweet!

 

You must be ecstatic... I know I would.

 

9.8's across the board for SS's!

 

I hope you post a journal with pics.

OK, I'm gonna say it because I know I can't be the only one thinking it. Why spend more on getting a book graded (and perhaps pressed as well) than what the book itself is worth? If it's purely sentimental or because you're trying to complete a run I get that. If not, help me understand the rationale cause I'm really curious. Amazing that you received such awesome grades too. I may have to start sending my books to you for a pre-screen before sending to CGC.
