| I submitted a full 1-35 run of The Maxx, along with MCP 85-92 (First Cyber) and some books I got signed for Larsen. Some photo's are over the limit here for some reason. |

| I don't even want to calculate what that must have cost, but I admit I am jealous. I don't think Sam Keith will be doing a signing again soon. | ||

| Well it was three years from his last appearance which was SDCC. I know his handlers are pushing him to do more shows, he does draw quite a bit when he signs. I am optimistic he will appear again within 5 years |

| I'm really impressed with how 1,14 and 20 turned out. Those are some very difficult covers. 16 is a beautiful cover as well, I'll take the 9.6 Can't wait for the rest to show up, really hoping it's tomorrow |

| The 9.4 3D is from my OO collection, so no surprise on that grade. Most of these books came from one dealer, can't wait to let him know just how well it went. He really did me a solid. | ||

| I'm also really interested to find out how my Yellow #3 with the rusty staples is going to come out. | ||

| I also have to say that I am really digging the new cases. They seem so much more clear and sturdy than the old ones. And it's nice that the top label is in the case. It's more ergonomic, if that makes sense. They don't seem to stack well though, perhaps that is because I haven't tried it without bags yet. |

| Hmm suppose I am on the wrong forum lol Honestly CBCS, you guys should get a nice label going. And a decent forum. I may start picking up some CBCS universal slabs. |

    These showed up today, guess the rest of my SS package will arrive Monday. There is a Yellow #3 in that lot, it came back at a 8.5, which was a nice surprise. Some reason that picture is above 3.5 MB. I don't get this software |

| Yellow was #55. I have a list of the three that came from the same person, unfortunately it's on the other site I cannot access right now. I think it was #72 and 40 something |

| Yes, 5, 14, 16, 20, 26 and 30 are extremely hard covers to get 9.8 on. I'm quite happy with the results, can't wait to see what 26 and 30 came in as. I've already got a 9.8 30 and a 9.6 26 so won't be too bad | ||

| The one other yellow is #81, still can't remember what the third one was. That one totally fell off the radar. I THINK cgc boardie Crispin picked it up. The #81 was pressed, cleaned and slabbed and put on eBay. Not sure if it was picked up. I know they wanted a ridiculous price for it on it's first run out. |

| Thanks. 8.5 doesn't seem too bad despite the rusty staples. fwiw, my notes show that the #81 finally sold for $242 back in May 2015 |

| Thanks. The only thing I did to that #55 was some light cleaning with an eraser. So the grade was pretty surprising. Can you remember what grade that #81 came back as? |

       What you can't see, #26 9.6, #30 9.4, #32 9.2 (This one seems to be hard to get in high grade, not sure why this one is so low though), |

| Only thing really left to do is start collecting cover OA and whatever else I can get my hands on. Not an option at this point in time, but perhaps in the future... |

| hmmm Is that why they put a note on the label stating some come with a sticker? Mine didn't have a sticker, but was stamped with a number |

Quote:Originally Posted by MetalPSI Yeah, one day I hope to have enough discretionary income to get some OA. Though, I think the bigger trick would be getting my wife to let me display it. I already got shot down when I tried to put the Moore Creations statue up on the mantle  Need to start digging my man cave... |
