I decided to submit a few books that I picked up at NYCC and at Big Apple... How did they fare?

Let us see how we did. I guess my eyes are going or something.

ASM 21 - Advertised 6.0 - Received 5.5Q Last Page Missing

ASM 23 - Advertised 9.0 - Received 7.5

ASM 24 - Advertised F+ - Received 5.0

ASM 43 - Advertised 8.0 - Received 8.0 Color Touch

ASM 53 - Advertised 8.0 - Received 7.5

ASM 101 - Advertised VF - Received 7.0

ASM 119 - Advertised F - Received 9.0 (Ok.. win!)

Very disappointed. None of the books were from eBay. One book is from a major dealer, one book from a regular dealer. The rest picked up by a few guys I do not recall offhand but will recognize once I see them at NYCC and will avoid their tables.

The 21, 24, 43 and 53 will eventually be thrown up immediately on eBay. I will keep the 101 and the 119. I am torn between getting rid of the 23. I already own a 9.0 copy of 23 with a small amount of color touch that is simply gorgeous. Yes, I know the 7.5 is "supposedly" better but as of now I would rather keep the 9.0 Restored.

Guess I am no good at buying raw books. Hopefully the Batman 47 and the Amazing Spider-man 3 I submitted last month restore my faith.

Thoughts?

9.0 With Small Amount of Color Touch or Universal 7.5?
