Huh?

WTF? Since when did Wolverine: The Origin #1 come out with a variant issue? Has anyone even seen this? Or did CGC screw up and put an extra issue in the set? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Wow

That was FAST So I checked the status of my Amazing Fantasy 15 and let me tell you, they don't mess around with the Walkthrough service. The comic was received today and has already been graded. I will post the grade as soon as I can. And yes, it got a Universal grade. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Grading Tiers

I have a question about the different tiers and maybe somebody can help. So I made the most expensive purchase the other day. I bought an Amazing Fantasy #15 in what the seller says is around a 4.5. Anyways, I was going through the tiers for grading and the highest one I could find was the Premium. My only issue is that the max value is 3 grand for each comic. Is there another route I need to take? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good. Mine was AWESOME!!! We had dinner at a family members house and introduced my 2 month old daughter Kennli to those who haven't met her yet. Then we went to the Texas/TCU football game at DK Royal Memorial. It was awesome. Anyways I sent in a copy of Ultimate Spider-Man #1 with the white cover. I picked it up at my local shop a few weeks ago and immediately sent it in. I'm really hoping to get a 9.9 and when I compared the comic to my Wolverine The O

Local Comic Shops

Being in the Marine Corps I move around a lot. Everywhere I go I find a local shop and pick up what I can. What is the best comic shop in the country? My favorite so far is All About Books and Comic in Phoenix, AZ. I'm interested in hearing about other stores around the country. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

Achieved my goal

I set a goal of having X-Men 1-16 in whatever shape I could afford. Then it kind of evolved into having everything in a 7.0 or higher. I had almost achieved that until today. Only ones missing were #8 and 9. I had been looking around earlier this week and found a few auctions that caught my eye. X-Men 8 and 9 both graded at 8.0 so I put my bids in 190 for #8 and 225 for #9. And I won both of them. Then I had my eye on an X-Men #3 graded at an 8.5 and I won that one with a bid of 820. Al

Anyone willing to trade?

My goal is to have X-Men 1-16 at a 7.0 or higher. Is anyone willing to trade for X-Men #1 7.0 or higher? I would include my own X-Men #1 3.0 and whatever else we could agree on. I have a lot of raw comics. Some in really good shape and some in not so great. Plus my graded X-Men's that are below 7.0. If you might be interested shoot me an email at joseph.sheldrup@yahoo.com.

Decisions

I have a few books I want to send in but I'm not sure which ones I want graded. For the Standard tier I have ASM #5 in pretty bad shape. I'll be lucky to get a 2.0 X-Men #9 and 10. Both are ok reader copies, I'm guessing around a 3.0-4.5. X-Men #94, 104, and 109. 94 is mid grade, but 104 and 109 are damn near perfect, and I got them for a great price. For the modern tier I have Uncanny X-Men 266, and 268. Both high grade copies. ASM vol 2 #36 Wolverine #1 from 1988. I'm tor

FML

Now that I have my submission back I wanted to send in more of my X-Men collection, until.... I started to inspect the comics to see if they would be worth sending in. X-Men #6- Not worth it. I would be lucky to get a 1.0 X-Men #8- Thought it would be ok until I found out a page is missing. Awesome X-Men #9- Probably the only decent one. It will probably get a 4.5-5.0 X-Men #10- Not so great. Won't get more than a 2.0 X-Men #12- Ok book. Thought it would get at least a 3.0 until

Signature Series

I have a few I want to get signed by Stan Lee. How does this work? Do I send my comics in to CGC and they have Stan sign them then they grade them? Or do I have to go to a convention where he will be, have him sign them under CGC supervision, then they submit them? And how much does this cost? I got my first Signature series the other day and I want more.

Got the grades

Got my grades for my coupon. Amazing Spider-Man #2 3.5 X-Men #2 3.0 X-Men #3 3.5 X-Men #4 2.0 I will say things went a lot faster from my last submission. But I used the modern tier last time. Anyways, it looks like I over grade my comics, cuz I thought they were all gonna be higher. Oh well

Now the wait begins

I got my Amazing Spider-Man #1 back and it got a .5 grade. Kinda pissed me off cuz I paid 1100 dollars for that book and I find out it had 2 missing pages. I sent in my 4 free submissions and CGC has received them. Now to anxiously wait for the grades. Last time I submitted anything it took almost 3 months(but that was for modern books). The books I sent in were Amazing Spider-Man #2 X-Men #2 X-Men #3 X-Men #4 I'm pretty sure the Spidey will get a pretty decent grade. X-Men 2 an

One more USM

Awesome deal So I just bought a copy of Ultimate Spider-Man 5 graded at 9.8 for 110 dollars. Super sweet deal, that book usually goes for at least 200 bones. I can't wait to get it in the mail. Now all I need is 1,2, and 4 for the first 26 to be complete. Anyone selling those issues for a decent price?

Finally got the grade

Got the grade So after a month and a half, my comics finally got graded. Here are the grades. Uncanny X-Men 213- 9.6 Ultimate Spider-Man 4- 9.6 Ultimate Spider-Man 5- 9.6 Ultimate Spider-Man 10- 9.8 Ultimate Spider-Man 112 white cover- 9.6 Wolverine v3 55 B&W- 9.8 Ultimate Spider-Man 13- 9.6 Im a little disapointed in my ultimate spiderman issues, although I thought # would get a lower grade than it did. And I didn't send ultimate spider-man 13, I sent ultimate xmen 13 in.

the wait continues

The wait continues Ok my submission has been on the received status for over three weeks. This is so agonizing. Does that mean that it's still waiting to get graded or do they just suck at updating stuff online?
