@Drogio I think it's too far off yet. I think maybe mid summer will be when they start really announcing the guests??

Got my 1st box back from the RICC submissions. I still have another box I am guessing is 2 weeks out. These were RAW, NOT pressed .Off the shelf books.

Avenging spidey: spine stress & wear breaks color
light bends & indents to cover 9.4

Moon knight 9.6 : small spine stress & wear breaks color
deep tiny indent interior front cover, noticable on cover, does not break color

Defenders 2: BUMMED out about this book. thought it was MUCH higher..I didn't see the stain!! spine stress & wear barely breaks color
thin bends bottom edge. long stain through spine

Secret wars : spine stress & wear breaks color
indent front cover near spine breaks color 9.2..

I submitted the same book at RICC! I fear you have me beat though, no way mine breaks 9.0 😁

Congrats!!

What a great feeling of pride and satisfaction to have purchased a book new of the rack/shelf and many years later have it get a 9.8; it's like winning the lottery! Congrats.

PS - Just imagine if we ever get a 9.9!

I knew there was no chance of breaking 9, so I'm satisfied to see 8.5 on this one. However, I didnt buy it off the rack and I didnt keep it in great condition all these years like you did @Johnnylray !

@shrewbeer Still a great grade! ..My question which should be a post on its own: Will you keep or flip? and do most CBCS forum members Keep or flip their slabs?

I keep things that are sentimental, otherwise With rare exception I only flip for the purpose of getting a higher graded one.

Example this one, it does have some memory attached to it so I'll keep it. I have a different book coming that got a 9.6 that has no memory, so I will likely try to flip it to a higher grade at some point.

Seeing the fedex guy is always nice! Got the rest of my RI submissions back today. Loving the new labels!

VERY happy with this grade
Notes:
light scuff marks across lettering front cover
tiny spine stress, does not break color




This one would have been better with a press/clean but I'm still pleased with it. I half expected in the 7s
Notes:
top edge wear & right corner crease front cover, partially breaks color
tiny wear bottom spine, tiny spine stress breaks color
tiny substance stain near top edge front cover, light soiling back cover




My favorite X-Men cover of all time, had many of these as a kid. Made an exception to my barcode/newsstand rule for this one as well. Not happy with the grade, and I cant find any of the defects listed in the notes. I see nothing. I'll be looking to upgrade this one. Possibly just send it to The Force for some forging and re-grade.
Notes:
tiny top edge wear front cover, does not break color
light bend above bottom staple back cover, does not break color




Overall a good day!

Steranko was fun to talk to. Class act. Tex was a child-favorite artist of mine. Had a hard time tracking the first edition when I was a kid. Liefeld, child-favorite artist, but now looking back I don't know why.

No shame 👍🏻. Common or not, everyone should have a Stan sig for themselves regardless of the slab before he passes. I've yet to get one
