Ok, so officially it was called San Diego Comic-Con International...

but might as well been called Walking Dead Con 2012. Everywhere you looked, there was something Walking Dead related, so it was only natural that my largest CGC submission of the year would be Walking Dead heavy. 2 submissions, all signature series, 33 books in all.

Thankfully, both invoices have been graded and the grades appear online. Won't know when i'll actually have the books in my possession, but i'll be patient.

So, was it worth it? 33 signature series books aren't cheap? But honestly, all year I have been to every major show on the west and have submitted hundreds of books, so now I don't have many surprises as to what the results are, because I keep my estimates conservative (some people and regular customers of mine think i'm the tightest grader around), so yeah, I think its worth it. And after I saw the results, I think it was the best $1000 I spent at the show.

Of the 33 books, the grading break down went like this... 3 CGC 9.6s, 29 CGC 9.8s, and 1 CGC 9.9! Highlights included:

Walking Dead 100 chrome signed by Kirkman CGC 9.9

Walking Dead 100 chrome signed by Kirkman CGC 9.8 x2

Walking Dead 100 SDCC variant signed by Kirkman and Adlard CGC 9.8 x3

Walking Dead 94 Image Expo MVP variant (limited to 200) signed by Kirkman and Adlard CGC 9.8

Walking Dead 94 Image Expo variant signed by Kirkman and Adlard CGC 9.8 x2

Walking Dead Weekly 1 Amazing AZ variant signed by Kirkman CGC 9.8 x2

Thief of Thieves 1 ComicsPro variant signed by Kirkman CGC 9.8

Blindside 1 Campbell variant (limited to 100) signed by Mychaels and Campbell CGC 9.8 x2

New Mutants 98 signed by Liefeld CGC 9.6

and I also got some Jim Lee Batmans signed and graded, and also some other things as well.

Definately my best invoice to date and a reinforcement of my confidence in CGC. Can't wait to get these in my hands!
