Help me decide my next submission 0

[elibowman]

I haven't submitted to CGC in a couple years. My last sub was mostly successful with only a couple complete misses on grades, and the vast majority were spot on, or slightly undergraded by me. This submission would be largely focused on one of two things: slabbing my keepers (Hulk 2 for instance), or putting me in a position to possibly upgrade from a slabbed copy to a slightly nicer raw copy (I have done this a couple times. Most recently, I sold an CGC 8.0 copy of Batman 251 for a bit more than where I bought the copy below, which I think is a 9.0). Anyway, I will post some pics, and my initial grades (I still have to do a detailed grading on each to make sure I am not missing anything). Let me know what you think are the best 10 to get graded.

Here are my rough grades to be firmed up before any submission (grades are as is, and a press/clean would likely help a few of these):

 

ASM 5 - 3.0

ASM 13 - 3.0

ASM 15 - 4.5

ASM 20 - 4.5

ASM 50 - 4.0

ASM 300 - 8.0 Newsstand that would grade higher except for some foreign substance on front cover. If I think it can be removed, then I will likely sub, and if not, I will keep as is.

Bats 227 - 7.0

Bats 251 - 9.0

FF 48 - 1.8

Hulk 2 - 2.0 Looks more like 3.5 or 4.0 but big tear in front cover

Hulk 162 - 9.2...maybe better. I think this has a shot at 9.6 with a press.

ST 101 - 5.0

ST 110 - 3.0 maybe 2.5

ST 135 - 8.0

ST 169 - 6.5

TMNT 1 3rd Print - 8.0

Raphael - 8.5...maybe a 9.0

I also plan to look for any 9.8 candidates on Copper/Modern books that would be worth grading. But, that is such an involved and slow process. I am not sure how deep I will dig for those books.

The way CGC is currently grading I would hold the higher grade stuff back and send in the higher value mid-grade books.
