I thought they were honoring them if they were before a certain date??
Didn't this all arise when CGC changed their program? seem to remember something odd with sealed bags and such that the customer basically self witnessed???

I was told that the above has been the case for about a year.

Not really complaining. More miffed than anything. Combine that with no grade screening and I'm a little anxious as to what I might get back.

I paid more in general, but I still saved 20% on the fee. Once I apply female shopping logic to it, I'm perfectly fine, lol.

I wish I could take a couple of .2s off of two of the 9.8 Avengers and add them to my X-Men 48. 🤠

My modern order is done!!

Only problem if you want to call it that, is I have it marked for pickup by MCS so I have zero idea on the grades!!!

Probably send off an e-mail to MCS to let them know my order # that is waiting for them

Gonna say with Christmas breaks an all that they won't be picked up till the new year and then I can figure which books to keep vs sell!

Was going to maybe get rid of all my superman test logo books but now I'm thinking I'll keep one of each

The last Banana promo book was shipped today. An Uncanny X-Men Annual #6 signed by Bill Sienkiewicz.

I'm going to see if I can wait until it's delivered to see the grade. The original was graded a 9.4 by the cgc with Sienkiewicz's fingerprints in ink on the back.

I have a before picture, so @Nearmint67 will get to see another before and after comparison.

Got my shipping email yesterday. I am okay with the grades, and glad I am not a comic grader.

Books came in Friday, but I didn't have a chance to scan them until today. Neither was in a CGC slab before Bananagate, both were raw.




I am content with this. I bought it, read it, tossed it in a long box, moved, and finally bagged and boarded it a year ago. So a 9.6 because of some spine wear isn't terrible.




I am happy with this.

So MCS is now processing my banana order!!!

Grades and notes not released yet by CBCS but I at least know the grades from MCS!!!

How did my guesses do....
Firestorm #61 Test logo - guessed high 9's after pressing - actually 9.2 for both issues
Same with Justice League #3 test logo - though high 9's after a press but only 9.2 on both - the spine dings must have been colour breaking so pressing didn't help??

My 2 Marvel Premiere #28's I though would bring 8's - 1 at 8.0 and one at 8.5 -good guesses!!
Spiderman and his amazing Friends #1 (direct and news stand) -thought both where mid or low 9 potential with pressing - Direct was 7.0!!!??? (I must have missed something - did it have foxing or a staining on the inside??!!) and News Stand was 9.2!!! about where I hoped a press would bring it

I would say all in all acceptable grades - was hoping the test logo books would get higher than 9.2 - but 9.2 is plenty good, Marvel Premieres' ended up right on target as did 1 of the Spidey books - no idea what I missed on the other - bust have been something big because they looked almost identical on a quick glance!

Lower graded of each issue will likely be in auction in the near future!
