The Results are in.......

So as you know from my previous post that I submitted my ASM #129 CGC graded 8.5 at the 2013 NYCC for pressing and grading. I cannot begin to even tell you about how excited I was about reading that it was on its way back to me from CGC and as you all know I didn't peek at the grade on line and exercised heavy and I mean really heavy restraint from peeking at the grade so the suspense was killing me! I almost felt like starting to smoke Marlboros again after quitting 8 years ago. So the UPS Delivery man came to the door and handed it over to me and I ran inside the house and put the box on the dining room table and sliced open the box with my trusty exacto knife. At that point I held my breath and closed my eyes and reached in the box and slowly took it out and opened my eyes and to my surprise it was the best surprise I've had in a long time. I screamed YEAH BABY WOOOOOOOO! The book jumped from an 8.5 to 9.4! This was so great, not just for me but for the value of the book as well. It was totally worth the investment. I would say my blind faith in CCS pressing paid off greatly. So until next time fellow readers and collectors I bid you all a farewell till next time and thanks for reading.
