Extrovert Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Here's the Hulk Joe worked on. Mecha - I can't check the results, they were all dropped off by Joe and run through his account. He offers a price reduction with CGC this way. csaag and KCOComics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worthwhile, it could list what dragged it down, though yeah, I imagine it's that corner. @Extrovert, I pulled the graders notes for your Spidey #16...not sure if the staple rust impacted the grade at all? CGC Cert # 3966105006 Title Amazing Spider-Man Issue 16 Grade 6.5 Page Quality OFF-WHITE Grader Notes light spine stress lines to cover light, multiple staple rusted very light creasing to cover very small scuff left top of front cover breaks color Extrovert and KCOComics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Extrovert Posted January 31, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 Oh wow, thanks! So I can pull the grader's notes using the Cert #? I didn't know that; again, this is my first time getting books slabbed. History on that book - I was likely about 13 years old and saw an advert for a local yard sale that had comics. I got there early, with the help of my dad, and they had three non-comic cardboard boxes full of loose comics, most in so-so condition, but nearly all were early Marvel. I tried to buy them all, but the seller was somewhat aware they could be worth some money. I only had about $100 to spend and bought as much as the guy would sell. I wound up snagging a run of ASM #16 thru the 30s (which should all grade around the 6.5ish level), and I snagged Conan 1-5. I can't recall everything he had but he wouldn't sell his early Avengers or any of his Silver Surfer books - I think he had a full run. He also wouldn't sell the main comic I was after, FF #1. I'd guess it would grade at a 5 or so now. KCOComics, Math Teacher, onlyweaknesskryptonite and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extrovert Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) And this one also came from the same yard sale. All in all I got a lot for $100, but I wasn't able to land the really big fish he had for sale.

Yeah, of course it did, but I believe he, like me, was looking for a primary reason for the grade to have been dropped. I believe it's the upper left corner, it catches the eye all too easily.

Extrovert Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 I recently got this back from CGC. I really thought it would grade somewhere north of a 9. The most interesting part is that Gil Kane is "written" on page 1 in marker. I bought this comic at a FLA convention when I was maybe 14, likely a bit younger. I never opened the book, just kept it protected. I stupidly didn't look it over prior to submitting it for grading; because it was my first time submitting books and I didn't know any better. So now I have to wonder two things: 1. When they say written, does that mean it's a signature? 2. If it is a signature, and obviously CGC wouldn't recognize it as being genuine, could that reduce the grade? The grader notes make no mention of it.

Not a huge deal, but this doesn’t seem to have too much to do with the original topic.

shadroch Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 In that grade, CGC won't deduct for the name. Most likely, it is a Kane signature from before you bought the book. For some people, this will make the book more attractive and worth more. For most, it will be neutral. Extrovert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't allot of incentive to forge a Kane signature and the first page is where they use to sign them. So you likely have a legit signature from an old show, which is pretty cool.

Imbo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Can I ask a general question about CFP? I love their reputation and fully grasp the industry backlog. So I took the leap of faith and submitted a handful of books mid-July 2021. His website mentions that he's currently working on books rec'd/paid in Oct 2021 but when I log into CFP it shows my order status as "Books received at CFP". My question: does CFP not update the status or does this mean CFP hasn't pressed/cleaned my books yet? I sent an email to CFP but haven't heard back so thought I'd see what your experience has been. Since it's my 1st time submitting books, I'm anxious. Especially since these books were my most of my big keys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
