Arriving earlier this month, the final piece to the puzzle... my graded Human Fly #15!
As mentioned in my previous journal entry, after a long search I finally found a solid-looking Human Fly #15 for my "Righteous Rojatt's set" which appeared ripe for slabbing. As mentioned previously, the Toronto Paradise-Con once again rolled into town and north of the boarder I headed, 9 raw books in tow, including the #15. I certainly didn't want to set my expectations too high, but was moderately hoping for another CGC 9.4, similar to my previous #3 submission. Upon it being slabbed, that #15 would be the ONLY (and obviously highest) graded copy and will complete my "Righteous Rojatt's set" 100%!
Well, recently those submissions finally returned from CGC! Upon tearing through the well-packaged bundle, I finally revealed the linchpin of my set... my Human Fly #15, in a 9.2 (NM-) grade with Off-White/White Pages. Of course, I was hoping for at least a 9.4, but the #15 is arguably the most difficult one to find in high-grade with its black cover. Certainly as with most submissions, there are some disappointments, but for the most part I was very pleased with my overall results. In fact, I was more surprized with the results of some of my OTHER submissions from that batch, scoring 2 Bronze-Age 9.8's and 2 very nice 9.6's from the era too!
With that, collecting friends, I conclude this recent tale... seeing my Human Fly set now 100% complete. Naturally, I'll continue to expand and upgrade this set when possible, but for now I'm content with the final results. Shortly, I'm hopeful to add photos and perhaps tweak my individual descriptions a bit.
Coincedently, here are the other results of my recent submission:
Black Goliath #3 = 9.2, OW/W
Black Lightning #1 = 9.4, OW/W
Green Lantern, Vol.3 #1 = 9.6, WP
Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #1 = 9.4, WP
Kull #22 = 9.8, OW/W
Nova #1 = 9.6, OW/W
Ragman #1 = 9.4, OW/W
She-Hulk #1 = 9.8, OW/W
Not too bad, for only my 2nd submission! What will I try next time... hmmm?
Thanks again for looking and allowing me to share my addiction with y'all!
