    Sorry forgot to post it right. I'll take it if I can pay Tuesday or Wednesday. How do I get that guy with the sign to pop up?

    I'll take it! if I can pay you Tuesday or Wednesday.

    And on anything lower than say a 9.2 why would anyone need the flaws listed? You will be able to see flaws most of the time on a 9.0 or lower comic.

    I was just stating as an example for people to have a general(as stated in my post), not specific, idea of what to look for. Like on spine. there may be a lot of damage or barely anything but you would know to look at the spine rather than just staring at the book trying to figure it out. There would obviously be more numbers. If the grader chooses not to make notes why not at least give the submitter a general clue as to why the book was lowered. And the number 6 "other" was a specific reference to the fact of there being something that the comic was dinged for, but CGC does not want to announce their exact grading criteria to the public. This would probably come into play for only the higher grades. If you had the "other" listed as reason for a 9.6 instead of 9.8 you could at least cancel out all the other "general" defects.

    Hey everyone. How hard would it be to juzt have a number system for the grader? Not hard at all right 1 spine 2 dent 3 corner 4 tear cover 5 tear page 6 other Specifics would be nice, but why not have at least a general universal?
  6. Konrad5288
    Wait. Do you still have the Venom?

    Glad to have it verified as 3rd. Thank you. I have a feeling the cover has been cleaned due to how the color is on it. It just doesnt look right. Might be adding one purple label to the collection in near future.
  8. Konrad5288
    Ok. That helps. Thank you for the info mschmidt.

    I finally found a 2nd print which looks more orange than yellow. So this must be a 3rd print. How about grade? Sorry on the pics. The lens is all cracked on my phone so they came out a bit blurry.
  11. Konrad5288
    Ok. Im trying to figure out if this Zap #1 is 2nd or 3rd print. First print is 20c. This one is 35c. But it doesnt list the print run on first page like most do. I'm confused. Any help would be appreciated. How about a grade while we're at it. Its hard to see but there is some color fading along edges in the yellow.
  12. Konrad5288
    Lets say I order one of those Atlas Signature Series comics. If I CGC it will I get a Blue, Yellow, or Green label?
  13. Konrad5288
    Definitely 9.4 candidates. Nice corners. The regular has a ding by the spine, the virgin has a very slight corner crease. Off to the press and hopefully 9.8's And then in all of this commotion, i was looking to find some graders and found the third picture. Didnt even know I had it! 2 mini creases like 2mm each near spine perfect corners and barely a bend on one corner. Too bad I sold an NYX 3 a few years back before it got so popular. It would have been a nice addition to these. Will post cgc result on Sanders titles in a month or 2

    That sucks! Oh well..... I received the ungraded set today. Havent had time to look them over yet, but will post some pics later. at first glance they look near perfect. According to Curtis at Comic Market Street they still had around 13 graded premium sets left last week. So I ordered one of those too. If you were looking for eye appeal you have to get the ungraded though. It's signed in blood red! And matches the Edge of Venomverse title --script. And IMHO is the best looking Edge cover. The preorder was supposed to be signed in gold. What color will the signatures be on them? Just have to wait and see.
  15. Konrad5288
    Yes it says they will be there. Maybe greggy saw an announcement or something that we didnt though.
  16. Konrad5288
    The site said they were doing it when i checked yesterday. Ill check again. If theyre not at least Ill still get my signed Machete machete and photo op. But, a Hero for Hire grading was supposed to fund all the fun. So all in all that would kind of suck.
  17. Konrad5288
    I know. Its for my personal venom collection. With how many copies of the book I ordered plus variants and the Convention in 3 weeks the $55 was almost too much. Why did it have to be an every week run?Hopefully the copy comes nice. Now that I think about it the green label might blend better with the artwork than the yellow one does. Maybe its time to start a new thread here. Refuse CGC SS grading cause it doesnt match the cover like that green qualified one does! lol.
  18. Konrad5288
    Thank you. That just saved me a lot of time. I also have some scattered in a few boxes here and there because i didnt know if they were some kind of print or promotion or what.
  19. Konrad5288
    Im just going to go for it and post my results up here for everyone. I bought that Natali Sanders Edge of Venomverse premium signed set ungraded from Comic Market Street. Only a total of 150 Virgins signed. Im going to update how it looks when it arrives, and will post the CGC grade here after onsite grading at Chicago Wizard World on the 20th. I might luck out because it looks like the cgc ss are done in gold ink and the regular signatures in a different color. Thanks for all the responses.
  20. Konrad5288
    Okay I have looked everywhere and honestly am considering just calling up CGC on this. Someone must know tbe answer though. So anyway my question. I have a near mint/mint Sly Cooper, some really nice Batman Toys R Us reprints, some of the valuable promo comics that are like 4x7 or 5x8 or whatever. Will CGC grade any of these "promo" books or no? I cant find an answer anywhere on the web.
  21. Konrad5288
    I honestly have no clue what these prints are. They are in a Dungeons and Dragons binder. Can someone please help me out and chime in.
  22. Konrad5288
    Ok, so I have a question for anyone here with an opinion or facts on the exclusives/variants that are limited run with a CGC 9.8 guarantee. So lets say a comic will have a total of 500 copies. I can buy the comic "raw" for $30 or CGC graded with 9.8 guarantee for $100. Obviously you get the graded one in 9.8 but what about the raw for $30? Is there any chance for a 9.8 raw or am I just going to get a copy that was rejected by CGC during the 9.8 prescreen? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
