Been waiting, patiently watching, to see when my submission would be shipped out. Have to say, it went VERY FAST once my books were signed. Below is a breakdown of the timeline. I typically wait for books to arrive to see grades, I sent in Batman #423 raw, Detective Comics #576 (Canadian Variant) raw and two ASM 300's, one one of the ASM 300's was cracked out of a CBCS slab that was graded at 8.5, the other was raw. All books were pressed. If I had to take a stab at grades, I would guess: Batman 423 - 9.4 or higher, this thing was pretty mint. Tec 576 - 8.0 or 8.5 ASM 300 (graded) - 9.2, feel like this one had a lot of pressable defects. ASM 300 (raw) - 9.0, same with this one, lots of pressable defects, that hopefully come out with pressing. We'll see how close I am very soon!

Hey Adamantium, Did you notice that your label says 11/11/02? Whoops!

I did the same. I had asked CGC if I should send a window bag with the slabs that would be cracked and they told me to do so if I wanted the sig in a certain spot. I would hope they would put the comic in our window bags once cracked. I guess from there it's a matter of Todd signing in the color you ask.

I hear ya! Stuff like that really irks me too! Like really, everyone signed in gold (and I'm sure you asked for gold) and you couldn't follow suit?! Ugh.

Books have been shipped and the grades are in!! I wanted to wait for the box to arrive but I knew I couldn't hold out so I took a look and here they are! All books were cleaned and pressed. I sent in my Spawn 1/301, Batman 423, ASM 316 all raw. I'm very happy with those grades, even though I'm not a big fan of 9.6, it's so close to 9.8 that it's just a tease. The Hulk 340 was a 9.4 that I had CGC crack and it came back a 9.8!! My biggest win was the ASM 300! I'm loving that this is coming back a 9.4!!! This was a book that was slabbed and I had CGC crack for the signing, it was originally an 8.5! I knew the defects it had would definitely clear up with a pressing. I was hoping a 9.2 but this is even better! Now we wait and see if my sharpie colors were honored! C'mon TODD!!

2 HOURS LATER

Scheduled for grading! so excited!!!

After checking my status for the 1,729th time since the signing my books are now back to CGC after pressing.
