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

| Got some books back. It took me about as long to get the tape off the bubble wrap as it took them to do the grading. I would say the order was a pretty mixed bag. I got this at an estate sale, mostly because I never come across it in the wild. I didn't expect this to be my highest grade.  In contrast, there's always a Spidey 300 somewhere.  This book presents way better than the grade, IMO. I'm disappointed in this one.  I got this because it's cool and old. It's still cool and old.  First X-Men crossover. Reminds me that I need to get another copy of FF 28.  The rest are finishing up my early X-Men graded run. They're all graded now although a few are raw graded. A little lower than I would have liked, but fine.  My other disappointment. Will have to replace this one.  No complaints here.  |

Not that it wasn't safe and secure before, but it's really safe and secure now. More early Walt Kelly! |

| @xkonk That Tales of Suspense 49 is a toough book. I thought CBCS was a little rough on my latest graded submission as well. | ||

| Well, this submission was middle of the road at best. The bright spot was this Uncanny X-Men 165. It was actually a PGX 9.8 in another life.  I was also pleased with the the X-Men 8.  The Amazing Spider-Man 286 landed about were I thought it would.  Along with this Dr. Strange 16.  The Silver Surfer 1 was a slight disappointment. But I can see it going the way of the 9.6 when I really look at it.  Now for the WTFs. These four books are some nice looking 9.6s. It makes me wonder who has their butt puckered in the grading room. X-Men 7, X-Men 25, and Wolverine 75.    This one broke my heart. I knew this was a beautiful book and a lock at 9.8. It even received Exceptional White pages. But alas, it was not meant to be... 9.6... Boom. Pft.  There was one other graded book, but it was such a travesty of justice I can't talk about it, much less post it. I might have to result to voodoo or pull a Pet Sematary. I don't know. I'm talking crazy now. Thank God I had the books grade screened. The ten that failed would have really sucked. Those grades would have been apocalyptic. All of these will be for sale except the X-Men 165 and, for now, the X-Men Annual 9. |

| I know. Stupid, right? I'm tempted to see what the cgc would grade the four 9.6s. I sound like @ComicNija0215. Crazy talk, man. I tell ya. I have an FF 185 that failed a 9.4 grade screen. I can't for the life of me figure that one out. Gorgeous book. |

| Maybe these discount codes make the Graders grumpy and then make the grade tougher...ha! I kid! | ||
