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.

My 9.6s have always been due to "scuffs" which I've always read to mean "we can tell someone has touched this".

Man that 9.6 Nova is sweet. I submitted on myself but it came back a 9.4. Guess I can be to picky it was a PGX 9.0 I cracked and pressed myself.

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.




Awesome book, man your photos are always super clear. How do you manage to photo them so clean. Mine always have tones of glare

@oakcitycomics - I use an HP Scanjet 8300 large format scanner that I bought used on ebay 3 or 4 years ago. It gives you a decent scan/picture most of the time, but sometimes you still get glare.

I picked this up a few weeks ago from @Darkseid_of_town and just got around to scanning it, but I wanted to give a shout out to our resident Paleontologist and Kirby enthusiast. I have been wheeling and dealing with Michael for several months now and wanted to say thank you for making all the transactions as smooth as spider silk.

You woul think scuffs would come out if they were cleaned...maybe not or did you not get them pressed and cleaned?

@Darkseid_of_town I assume CCS does the cleaning with the pressing. I will take a closer look at the ASM 265. I also had too much sunlight when taking those photos.

I've always read scuffs as a decrease in gloss that could come with touching a comic a few times. In fact, I've had creators rub the cover of a book to "scuff" it enough to hold the signature on the gloss.

So I now have a newsstand edition, direct edition, Canadian variant and a mark jewelers variant. Not sure if that completes the set. Let me know if you know of any other different 337's left, thanks

Maybe ya need a blacklight to see it? 🤭


I have been told by CBCS graders at conventions that they do not use black light when they inspect and grade comics.


They said it here too.

In regards to blacklight reference....

I think he means...

The movie unbreakable and samuel l Jackson is in comic book store and the guy behind the counter says, you kids better not be looking at the anime again....

I would love to have that one signed by Louise Jones (Simonson)...she was the model for that cover. It was her first job in the industry.

Yep, she is still around and still does the con tours. Usually with her husband Walt Simonson.

@Batman66 beautiful set! I feel the second appearance is still greatly undervalued at this time
