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.

@xkonk Happy to hear the good news and it must be good because you seem excited to share. 😉

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 have a 15 comic VINTAGE promo order in labels now, and will be looking at the grades as soon as they ship

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.

My 30 vintage just got there today. And I paid bill. So a couple months I should them get back. Order includes a file copy of Crackajack Funnies #1, and bunch of other old shit. Will be excited to get back the order. Whoop whoop!

@zdoes10 Mine was in billing until today, when it completed and shipped. Hope yours converts suddenly as well.

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.

Now to run through the good stuff, in issue order. #40 originally from the collection of @esavaro.

#52, Cyclops pretends to be Erik the Red. Later there would be a Shi'Ar who was Erik the Red, which is confusing.

#54 turned out pretty well.

#61 also turned out pretty well.

I had a little trouble finding a #66 for a reasonable price that looked ok, so I'm content with this.

And the one non-X-Men I sent in. Pretty happy with where this one graded out also.
