Here is a book that I sent out for pressing and grading. I got it back today.I was hoping for at least a 4.0. So I am happy with the 4.5 and the book presents much nicer after the press and slab.

Thanks. We sent 30 for that run. Had a return of:
18 9.8s
4 9.6s

1 9.2
4 9.0s

Overall, we were very pleased with our results. Lots of scrutinizing.

Classic hulk cover. And I believe the inspiration of the homage cover for the immortal hulk 1 as you of you pointed out.

I just received a shipment back from across the street. These were all from my personal collection and bought when they came out. I had them pressed by Josh Avery and then submitted. I was really psyched when I got them back.

Can't wait to crack these and send off for a pressing and re-grade. Going into my PC.

Ugh. Just got this back from grading. Sent it because of blue hologram. I noted it on invoice and there is no note of it from CGC or in grading notes. Stupid. Hopefully they note the blue hologram for the wolverine 75 I sent in.

Educate me a little. Is it normally a different color? I think I have one that is a ailver foil color. Is the blue one a known more desirable version? I really have no idea but am curious. It looks cool.

@Frontier2Xterra My question is stuck in the box with your post above.

@BrianGreensnips the blue is a little more rare and an error. The holograms are typically orange / green with the usual good bit of movement on this series. The blue is all blue with little to no hologram movement due to error. Typically found on the x-men 25 and wolverine 75 but have been found in the other fatal attractions books.

@BrianGreensnips The holograms on the Fatal Attractions books were normally greenish if the process went correctly. However, there were quite a few that came out blue and some of the blue holograms didn't hologram. It was just blue.

Don't feel bad, the CGC didn't note my gold edition as the gold edition either. But the B & W edition was noted in the same order.

@Darkseid_of_town Yeah, I bought the CGC notes prior to purchasing and it looks like a great candidate to get to 9.2/9.4 or better after a pressing. Been looking for a great high grade copy to pick up before the movie hype drives it out of range.

Sweet mama!!! Mr Excel says I have 3 #1's, and doubles of #2,3,4,9 and 10 of Mister Miracle.

I remember taking them around to try and sell/trade at shops about 17years ago and no one wanted them!!
Pretty sure my 1's are all 6-7.5 range - time to dig them out and confirm quantities and quality - looks like I have some contender books for my August submission - hope the movie actually gets made and is decent

Why it took me so long to try Tank Girl, I don't know. I enjoyed the movie, but I never bought a comic. Now that I have, I think I found a new love!!! The comics are definitely NOT for kids!!! There is swearing, adult humor and some nudity. But the stories are well written and humorous while the art is great!! Plus, the actual paper is heavier and just feels nice and sturdy. Anyways, I got these two today and I'll be looking for more in the coming months!!!
