and its a mixed results feeling...

Amazing Spiderman #239 (9.2) / CGC = 9.2

Batman: The Killing Joke (9.8) / CGC = 9.4

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8 (9.4) / CGC = 9.2

Superman (vol 2) #75 (9.8) / CGC = 9.6

Uncanny X-Men #211 (9.6) / CGC = 9.8

Uncanny X-Men #244 (9.6) / CGC = 9.6

so as you can see, two I thought were 9.8s were not, but, my UXM 211 is... which is great cause I am secretely trying to buy raw copies of UXM #'s 201 - 222 and put together a 9.8 run (opps did I just type that out? haha)...

also, I just yesterday picked up a better looking copy of ASM 239 for a really good price, so I think the new one will be an upgrade and then i'll list the 9.2 for sale on my ebay store.... side note, looking at these grades made me reaffirm my own selling practice as NEVER listing a book for sale as a 9.8 NM/MINT unless its been CGC certified as such... cause typically, that's the best grade you can get and i'd hate to sell a book, have the buyer get it graded, and then it comes back less than 9.8... its a horrible feeling i've personally experienced and would not want to bestow upon anyone else...

anywhos, till the next submission, I bid you ado and good day...
