| No question about that, really. It’s more about just finally having it in hand. | ||

| Last update (1:17 AM) puts it an hour drive from me. It is theoretically possible, it could arrive today. But Saturday is more likely. |

| Well guys, it’s here! Based on the grade date of 2011, I assumed I’d need to re-holder it, but the slab looks like a later generation than I’d figured. Which is a bonus. It’s surreal to have this. I hope you guys don’t mind me double dipping & putting this in the “New To Your Collection” thread.     |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| Assuming those oil slicks are the slab, you've got two reasons to reslab. Congrats! | ||

| @xkonk Yeah, the inner well touching the outer casing causes that. I probably will re-slab eventually. It doesn’t hurt the book but it does effect the presentation. It won’t happen until I can hand it over in person at a Convention, though. |

| @Zombie_Head I’ll admit, once this arrived, I pretty much took the rest of the day off. I’m kinda just staring at it periodically as I watch TV. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim You may want to read this before you regrade the book. https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/3327/CGC-Modifies-Stance-on-Grading-Submissions-with-Tape/ It seems like the book ws graded before this rule took affect. |

| @50AE_DE I’ll have to call & ask if it would be regraded. Cuz, I was only going to do a re-holder. | ||

50AE_DE private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @00slim Good idea. Not sure if a re-holder would qualify as a resubmitted book. "Books with tape that have already been graded by CGC will retain their grade, but any books that are resubmitted will fall under the new criteria and be graded accordingly." |

Quote:Originally Posted by Redmisty4me I agree...there's a few other's too ofcourse, AC1, Tec27, Superman 1, Batman 1, All-Star 8, Sensation Conics 1 and Captain America 1. These are the only other super hero books that can be argued more important in my opinion....so AF15 is atleast in the top 8 most important book of all time. |

GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Redmisty4me Good point but I was thinking value-wise but also Superman 1 I believe is the 1st superhero comic to get its own title, Bats 1 is 1st appearance of Joker and Catwoman....Sensation Comics 1, you're probably right. | ||

| @Redmisty4me Lol!! Exactly!! Spidey!!! In terms of Super heroes (not comics) Spidey is top 3 I'd say, shoulder to shoulder with Superman and Batman. | ||
