for my first submission to be graded...

OK - so I am naturally impatient, particularly when I don't know the answers. I sent three packages in to be graded and I am eagerly waiting for my first set of grades. Right now I am showing one package Scheduled for Grading and the other two Verified...it's weird because I just grabbed some books, more or less at random, from the piles of stuff I have as 'I aught to get this graded some day' - so I sent some Marvel, some DC, some silver, some bronze, and some modern. I guess just to get a feel for the grading process.

Well, my first batch of grades came in while I was writing this entry: Showcase 61 - 9.0; X-men 94 - 6.0; X-men 95 - 7.5. Exactly what I expected from the Showcase, but 1.0 lower than I expected on the two X-men. I'm sure I'll get better at it with time.

Be well, and happy hunting.

Well, my second batch graded today: Iron Fist 14 - 8.5; All Star Batman 10(vulgar edition) - 9.9; GI Joe 0(retailer incentive) - 9.8; which is a little better than I expected for the two new books. Since Diamond ships UPS, a lot of the time the books arrive on the west coast with their corners dinged and spine creases from the strapping.

The last two grades just popped in: Justice League of America #45 - 8.5; and Hawkman #4 - 6.5. I'm a little disappointed about the Hawkman, but the JLA came in right where I expected.
