@BigRedOne1944 just buy a raw ASM 39 then take pics of the comics interiors with your phone, then get it graded.  |

So this was another part of my 1st cgc sub in months...and I have questions...1st, this sure seemed like a 9.8 before I submitted, but I had them press anyway...somehow its 9.6...then I paid the $5 for the spiderman label that is about 50% obscured by the hologram cgc sticker...oh well...guess I'll waste my money elsewhere..  |

| @Enelson That Spider-man looks like a 9.8 to me.... unless they took off for the top staple? On the back cover, that top staple looks like it's recessed. It's hard to tell really cause I can't see the bottom staple due to glare. | ||

| @GanaSoth I think they pressed it too hard... I think I saw someone else share a book like that on here recently. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Enelson Seems like one of those oversights that someone should have caught. Ton of dead space in the middle of the top label area. Either the graphic or the hologram could have been shifted mid. Maybe they have a suggestion box. |

My first CBCS submission arrived today. Super happy with most grades. A couple slightly disappointed in but at least they got the check mark by the grade.  |

| @oakcitycomics Well done. I hate the checkmark though. It's like CBCS is saying: "Here's your 9.4, but it looks better than a 9.4. Hmm? Then why isn't it better than a 9.4? Erm ... it has a checkmark!" |

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers Maybe it's saying it looks higher than it is because it's pleasing to the eye, but it could have a thumb print on an interior page that removed ink or something along those lines. Then when all calculations are said and done, the defects really hurt the grade. |

Look what showed up in today's mail! It's taken me forever, and this copy is a little rougher than I had hoped to purchase, but it's all mine. As the price for this issue kept going up, my tolerance for lower grades also had to increase. All in all, not too bad looking for a 3.5, and with the eBucks special, I had to finally pull the trigger. One more issue to go for the first 66 issues. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers Lol yea I agree. Both books look flawless. One was a Preacher #1 it came back as an 8.0 with check mark saying the book had waves in it. So i'll crack press and resubmit. The other one was a Die #1 it also came back an 8.0 with check saying there was a stain on the cover. I sure as hell dont see any stains but will crack it to look |

| @esaravo really? That's the easiest way to tell for stains and color touch though right? Maybe they use a "blue" and a "red" light instead. | ||

Here are 3 that I sent out to CGC. I was really hoping that the Newstand ASM 265 would have come back at 9.8 I wonder if it is because it was white to off white pages.I had them pressed through CCS too. Overall I was happy with the Nova #1 grades.    |
