Please grade my Sub-Mariner #8 - The Thing!

[supapimp]

that book is not worth the price of a walk through sub.

I know. I'm just with my pals.

[burntboy]

i'll be at the WC in february aren't you? so the bet is if it doesn't get at least a 8.0 you lose right?. if so we then have an accord.

 

I will be at the dinner but conventions are not my gig. Yes, that is the bet.

 

guys - please get the bet straight or we'll have more BS going down. it sounds like Supa wants the grade by WC in february. sending it econ to CGC won't get that done. so if I were david i'd just hold off and have it graded on-site since, A) i get my book back sooner and B) i win more since the econ on-site will be $25 more...........(of course this all presumes that david knows what he's talking about.....)

 

for the record, my initial grading was the same as Dice 7.5 - 8.0........once you get past that rough upper edge and creased ULC, the rest is pretty Choice.....

 

BTW; i'm seriously considering using some of my gazillion air miles and coming out to SF in february. there are lots of board members out there i'd like to meet and San Francisco is one of the only major cities in america that i've never stepped foot into...........

better start making plans and checkout www.hotels.com/ for room/suite rates. but the CGC kids stay at the argent hotel on 3rd street @market. BTW BB you troublemaker, i agreed to an accord in writing with david.

Harry,

 

We would love to have you come out for WC. All the Bay Area forumites are very fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guys. I promise it would be well worth your time.

 

EDIT - Removed erroneous comment about on-site grading at WonderCon.

[supapimp]

uh...word is they're doing it.

[divad]

Nah, according to FFB, all those strung-out CGC guys are all stressed out in the grading booth during the on-site work . . . I want a nice cool, collected bunch lookin' at my stuff (that and the Ben Franklin's taped to page 1 insure that the ahem, necessary care is taken . . . )

 

[inconceivable]

I think an 8.0 is a good conservative guess. The black cover shows the minor wear quite a bit. What does the upper left front cover scratch/stress look like in person?

The cover gloss is awesome, and the black is much deeper than the scan allows. The ULFC stress is light enough that there is no corresponding stress to the URBC. I've got a couple of these to compare this one with.

 

And in hand, it simply blows away the #1 I have posted.

You should come to WonderCon.

[FFB]

I had heard from Steve and Paul within the last couple of months that they are not doing on-site grading at WonderCon but that they are doing it at WW Los Angeles. When and from whom did you hear that they were doing on-site at WonderCon?

You should come to WonderCon.

 

Absolutely! We'd love to have you guys out here!

i'm looking into it as we speak..................

[supapimp]

i thought they said they were doing it about 6 months ago, they should since the submissions at the WC isn't that large compared to chicago or phila.

FN+ 6.5

 

As low bidder, Supe - you're on! I personally guarantee that this book will be graded 8.0 AT A MINIMUM by CGC.

 

I win - you pay the grading fee.

 

You win - I pay you the grading fee.

 

Whaddya say? ( meow )

 

Well Supa, time to pay up!

 

Got the grade today:

 

Sub-Mariner #8 8.0 O/W

 

Merci beaucoup,
