My First CGC Submission

My first submissions turned out about how I had expected.. except

I have been buying comics for awhile and paying a little to a lot more for CGC slabbed books, or paying for whatever comic shop I was stationed near to mail them off to CGC. I finally did a cost analysis and found that it was more cost effective to just get a membership to CGC. So fast forward....

With my coupon I submitted four books, all DC New 52: Batman 1, Justice League 1, Green Lantern 1, Action Comics 1. All four were sketch variants and all four were in, from what I could tell in my grading experience 9.6 to 9.8. It turns out I was fairly accurate with them.

Batman = 9.8

Green Lantern = 9.8

Action Comics = 9.8

Here is the curve ball to my expectations... Justice League was a 9.4. Now I'm wondering, did they get damaged in shipment or did I miss something? Again, all four comics were in the same condition in my opinion when they were boxed up. I packed them very well, each comic bagged and boarded, individually sandwiched between two 200lb test pieces of cardboard and then packed two books to a Bags Unlimited 200lb cardboard comic mailer with card board cuts filling the gap. Both boxes were then taped together and wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in another box filled with bubbled wrap.

Anyways, I have four more getting graded now, Batman 2 sketch, and 3 x Robyn Hood: Wanted 1's CS Moore Ltd 100. I'll see if that was a fluke or if I need to go back to comic grading school. My predictions are:

Batman 2: 9.8

RH:W 1: 9.8 x 2

RH:W 1: 9.9 or better x 1. I opened up the cardboard sandwiching and this book virtually started glowing and trumpets started playing from the heavens. I searched high and low for a defect using my jewelers glass and all and couldn't find one.

They are scheduled for grading now, so in a few days I should know.
