Who here is so unable to wait for grades that they want to hear mine before the books arrive? The ten books I sent for the Vintage promo are scheduled to be delivered on Sunday. | ||

I usually try not to look, but I was curious this time. Mostly it was because I got an email from FedEx saying that I had a package coming, but no email from CBCS saying that my order had shipped. So I was curious if my grades were available and I incidentally saw them at the top of my comic list when I logged in. And some books did do better than I would have expected ![]() |

I wait until they get back. It's much more exciting to take them out one at a time and be surprised. | ||

My vintage order is still showing in billing, so congratulations to all of you who has gotten your grades. I am afraid that I always cheat and look at my grades. |

I'll do one once in a while, in order of least exciting (to me) to most exciting. My X-Men 59 (original series, with the Neal Adams cover) is a 6.5 with a checkmark. My general goal for my X-Men run is to have everything pre-100 be at least a 6, so this is ok, but the book is cheap enough in nicer condition that I should upgrade it. |

The other most disappointing one was a #49 that's coming back 6.5. It was listed as VF- and I was hoping it would improve on my current 6.5. I was less optimistic when I had it in hand and now it can go up for sale. | ||

pictures soon, I hope? You might be disappointed with a 6.5, but I still think that's a good book to have! Congrats! |

Books were last scanned outside Dallas but still in Texas. The slow drips of grades are to tide everyone over until pictures can be taken ![]() |

Last scan has them in Tennessee. I'll be getting an X-Men 36 in 8.5. It isn't a particularly notable book but when I was putting the submission together I tried to pick my best-looking ones from the original 66 issues. This will put kind of a ceiling on the rest. It's nice to know that aside from the 59 with a checkmark I pulled all VF+ or better. |

They finally made it! Here are the two I already mentioned. I was hoping this would improve on my 6.5 signed by Steranko, but it did not. So this will go over to the sale thread. ![]() Here's the other lowest grade, the 59 with a checkmark. From the grader notes I'm guessing it's for small stains. ![]() And the 36. ![]() |

This one turns out to most disappointing. Slight restoration, meh. I'll put it up for sale but don't expect anyone to be excited.![]() |

#52, Cyclops pretends to be Erik the Red. Later there would be a Shi'Ar who was Erik the Red, which is confusing.![]() |

I had a little trouble finding a #66 for a reasonable price that looked ok, so I'm content with this.![]() |
