Quote:Originally Posted by Rbolton Different graders can hand out different grades. There is at least one grader there that seems to like to bring the hammer down on books. There is also more than one person pressing books. I don't believe all of them are on the same skill level. If you get the right combination of presser and grader, then it's great. If just one of them is off, then it can still be okay. If you get the so so presser and the hammer down grader, it's not going to be the outcome you were hoping for. Oh, and happy birthday. |

 If you want to bludgeon someone with a comic, PSA should be your first choice.

Got my HeroesCon submission back today. None of these books were pressed, all were slow-boat service (I slab for my personal collection, so I don't really care that much if it takes a while).             |

This one I have had back for a while, I just haven't had time to fire up the scanner. I have at least a dozen of these that I am going to get various historical figures on, as I find artists. JP Jackson did this one; I knew he was the best choice to do Douglass' iconic hair. Wolly McNair is on tap to do the next one, but I am still looking for more artists.  And these actually did just come back. I am turning into something of a signature collector.     |

| Just got my latest submission back from CBCS. Out of twelve books, eleven were grade screened. Out of the eleven that were grade screened, nine failed. Nine. This was my worst CBCS submission ever. I'm not sure if my luck has turned cold or if someone at CBCS needs to unpucker just a tad. At any rate, I'm not sure when the next submission will be. I might give PSA a try to see how my luck fairs over there. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I guess it's the same way with CBCS. Any way, on to the books... all three of them, lol. The first one is Fantastic Four Annual #2. I bought this a VG+ on the Collector Syndicate forum. Some body pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. This is the book that wasn't grade screened.  Next on the list is Ka-Zar #1 1980. It was a childhood book that I wanted graded. The funny thing about this book is that it failed a 9.4 grade screen the first time around. Any way, not looking a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak.  Finally, the last book to make the grade was Captain America #6, the first full appearance of the Winter Soldier, although the CBCS label doesn't mention this. This was a banana book graded by the cgc. The inner well was badly bowed. The top of the book had waves. It was bad. I had it pressed by that place that rhymes with JFG_Atomics. Here are the Before pictures:    And the After picture:  I don't know, man. I think I might take a break from submitting. Everything I've touched lately has turned into a lead sinker instead of gold, lol. <cry> |

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

| Spin the wheel. Like I said, the Ka-Zar failed in the last submission, but passed in this one. So, who knows? Plus, there have been some nice posted above mine. Maybe my grader was Attila the Hun. At any rate, misery loves company.  |

Just got my third submission back today. I am extremely happy with the results!   This is pretty cool to me. It is labeled as a Manufacturing error as there is no embossed logo.  Last one just blew me away! I have to say CBCS press & clean did a phenomenal job on this one. For a moment I wondered if I got someone else’s book. Lol   Look at that before picture of the bottom right corner. It was like a wax covered cardboard, reminded me of a milk carton. I can’t believe how they fixed it!  |

| CBCS pressing does great work, and relatively quickly. I am incredibly jealous of that signed 3-D Zone. I would like to have something signed by Stevens in my collection someday, but it seems like he didn't sign much relative to other artists. | ||
