Just got an order of ten comics back today that I submitted approximately three weeks ago using the 20% off special discount offer (10% off for Members). I can't believe how fast these comics were processed, graded, and shipped. I cherry-picked through some of my best books, and only selected ones that I thought would get high grades and be worth $400-500 each or more. Thanks to the discount, I was able to submit eight books for theQuickstream tier, and using my Bronze "coupons" I submitted two books as 2-Day Moderns. Both tiers are currently supposed to have a two to three week turn-around. I am so happy with the look of the new labels, and although one book received a "Trimmed" notation, I am very satisfied with the grades.

Here's a look at the books. I'll start with a Superman 100 from 1955 that I obtained from its original owner many years ago.

Seven of the remaining books were SA Avengers and X-Men. I purchased these from dealers in RI and Massachusetts over 30 years ago.

@Kaleljll - Thanks. It took a lot of effort to find them many years ago (way before the internet and Ebay) and I'm just glad I didn't get rid of them all.

I saved the best two for last. I had hoped this GS X-Men would get a 7.0 or maybe a 7.5. The square-bound giants never look that great to me.

And I never submit a book expecting a 9.8. The best part about this one is I bought it new off the rack myself.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user
These books were well worth grading even without the 20% off.

OK cool. Thank you anyway. I can't stop looking at the books you showed us. Hard to believe you kept them all in such stellar shape all these years.
