Quote:Originally Posted by Silversorrow yeah but there are those who did same thing I did. no press, no rush...get theirs. from suggestions contacted Jesse and sent another cbcs email. I just want some kind of update. even if a "we know where it is. we are super backed up. promise in the next month"...heck doubt they would but a "oh we totally forgot about it. yeah we found it. doing it now" or even a "yeah our bad. we lost it. we found a replacement issue and are doing a grade right now" |

Got some books back! Pretty satisfied, though there's one disappointment.      I knew this one was in rough shape, so the grade is no surprise, but until it was in that nice, shiny, crystal-clear slab I didn't really see the extent of that stain too well (it's much worse on the back). Yikes!  It's got a colour touch?! At least it wasn't amateur hour, but still!  Like the JQ above, I knew this book was really thrashed. I'm glad it's not a 1.8, because I thought that might be a possibility.  Pretty crunchy but compared to JQ and Strange Tales, I can't complain!  There are a couple more books in this lot, but they have some scuff marks/scrapes on the front of the slab and I'll be sending them back to get fixed... someday... when CS gets back to me.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by Caffeine_Kid It was a bunch of low- to mid-grade keys that I wanted to protect, so I sent them in on the slow boat to China and dang, was that boat ever slow! The only high-grade book was a Shazam! #1 that came back a 9.4 (I was hoping for 9.2 so I'll take it), but that was one of the two that has a couple of scrapes/scuffs on the front of the slab, along with a low-grade Gold Key Space Ghost. Those will go back to get fixed. |

| @Byrdibyrd, I love all of the books, my favorite of your set is Jonny Quest. I am currently looking ofr a low to midgrade marvel feature 1. for the right price...(lol) I probably can't afford it anyway. But one can dream. | ||

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| @Byrdibyrd - on the scuff marks, if you cannot feel/hear any indentations when scraping your nail across the mark, you may find that a little WD-40 and a soft cloth quickly work wonders. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator Sweet! These, however, feel different. It looks like a shallow scrape that has taken off the clear finish from the surface of the slab. I have several slabs with the same defect, not just these two. They're really small and if they weren't on the front of the slab, I'd probably let it go. |

Finally got back my submission from 11 months ago. I had purchased a collection several years ago and had quite a few GL 50 and X-Men Alpha 1. Thought I would send them in since they were almost all perfect. Intent is to sell them.    Had one Newsstand. Was hoping for a 9.8 but oh well.  Also decided to throw in my $5 antique store find. Graded pretty much where I thought it would.  |

| So after getting in my 11 month wait submission in, I got in my December Pressing Discount submission just a few days later. I was really hoping for a 9.8 on this but I'm still happy. There was a tiny rub on the back that broke color that I missed.  This actually turned out decent. There were quite a few tiny little dings on the spine that pressed out but there were some issues that just couldn't be. Plus an ultra tiny tear on one of the edges that I can't see anymore and honestly can't remember where it's at. This was mine off the rack when it came out.  This one is exactly where I hoped it would be after a press. It was kind of rough and they did a good job. Just too many spine, edge, and creasing issues, though. I'm still happy with it. Picked this up at a LCS in the mid 80's for a dollar or two.  Finally, this one I'm absolutely ecstatic about. I figured there was no way I was getting higher than a 9.0. There are a few color breaking issues on the cover which are almost impossible not to find. I got this in the early days of eBay when I picked up the entire run for about $30. I thought I was getting a 1st print when I ordered it but I still love it.  |
