| Hello Forum Hivemind, I'm attending C2E2 and I wanted to seek some advice about what to get slabbed. Here's a preliminary list I've made with my estimated possible grade. Let me know if y'all think I need to eliminate some and give your reason(s): 1. Stray Dogs #1 (9.6-9.8) 2. Swamp Thing #1 (2021 series Mattina cover)(9.6 - 9.8) 3. Amazing Spider-Man #55A (2018 series)this one I'm going back and forth over..are there too many of these already graded in higher grades? 4. Carnage: Mind Bomb (9.6-9.8) 5. Strange Academy #1 (Variant Skottie cover) (9.6-9.8) 6. Nice House on the Lake #1 (variant cover) (9.6-9.8) 7. Web of Spider-Man #1 (1985) (9.2-9.4) 8. ASM #298 (1963 series) (9.0-9.2) 9. ASM #50 (1963 series) (4.0-5.0) 10. Lobo #1 (four issue mini 1990) (9.6-9.8) 11. Batman #404 (1939 series) (9.0-9.2) 12. TMNT Last Ronin #1 (Eastman cover) (9.8) also going back and forth on this one - looks like tons have already been graded. thanks in advance |

 I called CGC about the giveback benefit.

| None of these book are particularly rare or hard to get even in higher grades. I would say go with what appeals most to you, and you would most enjoy having graded | ||

| is the amazing spiderman 55.a a first print? but ive seen stray dogs and strange academy are popular. Batman #404 is the first part of an iconic storyline. last ronin is one of those that could increase Id go with one of those |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @KMiracleman I'd send all of them in except the Batman #404. The great thing about CBCS is that you can select individual grade screens for each book and there is no minimum submission to use the grade screening service. I would select a 9.8 grade screen for the following: 1. Stray Dogs #1 (9.6-9.8) 2. Swamp Thing #1 (2021 series Mattina cover)(9.6 - 9.8) 3. Amazing Spider-Man #55A (2018 series)this one I'm going back and forth over..are there too many of these already graded in higher grades? 4. Carnage: Mind Bomb (9.6-9.8) 5. Strange Academy #1 (Variant Skottie cover) (9.6-9.8) 6. Nice House on the Lake #1 (variant cover) (9.6-9.8) 10. Lobo #1 (four issue mini 1990) (9.6-9.8) Maybe a 9.4 screen for the Web of Spider-Man #1 and no grade screen for the other Spider-Man boooks. Also, don't send The Last Ronin in. CBCS still can't grade those sized comics, but I'm sure they'd tell you that at the convention. If anything, I suggest finding more comics to submit, maybe even something you purchase at the con. Good luck with the grades. |

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo Totally agree with this. Add whatever else that you, personally, would like to see slabbed. For the TMNT, though, I might consider holding onto that for the CGC mail-in signing with Eastman in January, but that's provided you want to have it signed at all. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Thanks for the heads up on Last Ronin; I already have an Eastman sig/remarque on my TMNT #4 (original series), so I won't be shelling out for another. Yes, I've used the CBCS grade screen before and even though it adds another few eons to the already eons-long turnaround time, I will use it again. |

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

| @KMiracleman grade screen doesn't add any time to TAT. You wait through the normal grading TAT then they grade it and either encapsulate or not. | ||
