| I really hope that white shadow around the foxing isn't residue from someone trying to clean it with solvent. Fingers crossed for you bud! | ||

| So, we're hoping for 3.0-4.0 (based on what we can see) But based on what you paid, what is the lowest grade you'd be satisfied with? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater My wife received the comic, checked for any missing pages (hope she didn't miss anything), rebagged it in mylite and had it shipped to CBCS with the invoice I made for it out here all in the same day. Didn't want to waste time in case I have to make a case on paypal if it comes back restored or incomplete. Based on age and value, Quickstream was my best bang for the buck and on the invoice I had asked @SteveRicketts to screen it before pressing and it looks like he decided that it either didn't need it or it would damage it so after a press refund it went to grading. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Agreed, 3.0-4.0 is the goal! This book has been seeing it's value rise more than I expected. Especially since there has been no official Green Lantern news in the Justice League movie but CGC 3.0s are selling for $1675-2100 and 4.0s are $2500+. So 3.0 - 4.0 unrestored would mean I got a great deal at $1250 + $100 for grading. I'd say 3.0 or higher would be my happy place but I'd be satisfied with a 2.5. I could definitely see this grading with a checkmark since it presents itself so well. I don't really know why but I'm most nervous about any potential restoration... |

| Lol, she took all those pictures at the beginning of this post. I had her open the box and check everything over video chat and talked her through bagging and boarding the book and packing it for shipment. It was stressful as hell but I think she could tell it meant a lot to me. On another note, all my other comics I bought out here I had shipped to a friend. I'll have to sneak those into the house when I get back. Hoping that when SC22 gets back to me I'll do a CBCS unboxing and deployment haul video for you guys. |

Oh, so when they fire the Stargate up, the event horizon does interfere with electronic devices and wireless signals, good to know.  |

| In the Dubai International Airport, wifi everywhere but I board in 20 min! Received completed and shipping email, I wanted to keep it a surprise but I looked. You guys want it to be a surprise for when I make my deployment haul and CBCS unboxing video or do you want to know now? I will say, it was not restored! | ||

It got a 3.0 and I'm still very happy with that since I paid considerably less than any 3.0 on the market (including grading costs) and it presents better as well. 3.0 Certified Cream/Off-White Notes: many splits to spine & small pieces off. spine stress breaks color tanning to cover edges & interior cover edges 2" edge stain bottom right front cover general edge wear, small chips & tears |
