Plus results of second and third CGC submissions

I am just curious on what everyone's opinions are about whether or not to buy comics already graded or to buy raw ones. Whether it be raw ones from ebay or your local comic shop or what not do you prefer having that sense of satisfaction from sending in your own comics to get graded or do you prefer having the security of knowing what the comic's grade is when you buy it?

Also I now have all my comics back from CGC from my second and third submission.

Second submission, submitted at the Planet Comicon in Overland Park, Kansas:

Walking Dead #1 and #4 both originally CGC 9.8 SS signed by Robert Kirkman, had them signed by Tony Moore at the convention in front of a CGC witness and they both kept their 9.8 grades and are now certified that they were signed by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.

Third submission:

-Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama #1 (red foil edition), graded at a 9.4 (called up CGC on this one cause I was almost certain it was at least a 9.8, but apparently it had an indent on the back cover that I did not see)

-Chew #1 2nd printing, graded at a 9.8

-Tank Girl #1 graded at a 9.0

-Tank Girl #2 graded at a 9.4

-Tank Girl #3 graded at a 9.4

-Tank Girl #4 graded at a 9.2

-Tank Girl 2 #1 graded at a 9.8

-Tank Girl 2 #2 graded at a 9.6

-Tank Girl 2 #3 graded at a 9.8

-Tank Girl 2 #4 graded at a 9.6

I was very happy with my Tank Girls coming back as high as they did, would have maybe liked a little higher on Tank Girl #1 but it still came back higher then any other Tank Girl comic (only other one graded is a SS 8.0) as did Tank Girl 2 #1 (only other one graded is an universal 8.5), and as far as Tank Girl #2-#4 and Tank Girl 2 #2-#4, mine were the first ones ever graded by CGC which means I have the only complete sets of Tank Girl and Tank Girl 2 graded by CGC in the world which makes me very happy.
