Fwiw the book hadn't been removed from sleeve until I scanned it this week. It was the first time I'd even seen the BC :P

Moving on from Venom..

A general query, regarding part 6 of the sticky; "The recommended size of the scan within the thread is a maximum dimension of 850 x 1169 pixels of 100DPI resolution. Anything larger/higher tends to skew the screen dimensions of the entire thread. However, you can link to larger scans, which will open in a new browser window or tab, making it easier on graders." Is this still relevant in 2021? I am pretty sure all my uploads so far were 300DPI+, and definitely > 850x1169 .. Does anyone know the maximum / is there a more current "community standard" someone could suggest? much appreciated!

Thanks Galen130. I am new to all of this, still learning - could you elaborate on this?

My third submission, what do you all think? Thanks!

Very pleased to read that! And thank you; I'm thinking based on my limited research this past week, this would be prime time to sell?.. Well - not to sell - yet -, but if I were to be getting it graded then I'd need to send out now (in order to get it in time for a much-hyped blockbuster release..)? Just some leftover questions. Any insight always appreciated. Which leads me to ask; assuming i am fully intent on selling for profit - is CGC recommended? Would it be (too) difficult for a long-time, but very low-volume seller w 100% positive feedback, to sell this raw @ a fair price (on ebay or elsewhere)? What do we value CGC grading at, from the standpoint of determining a fair raw price? I get that it's really not the cost of the grading and plaquing but the extended wait period, the angst of your item being in someone elses hands.. that's the intangible that factors in and makes pricing tricky...

Thanks, and agreed, the bottom edge specifically

I hope you guys aren't tired of seeing this one yet I am stoked to have found my old collection last week, after thinking I'd lost them all yeara ago. Messy attics are treasure troves ha.. I am honestly proud of the overall condition of my entire collection. I don't have high expectations as far as actual CGC grades, and I am very much receptive to any and all input, constructive criticism etc. So have at it. Just no touchy. My plan, fwiw, is to sell what is hot and keep what has potential (or thoses with more sentimental value than monetary). thanks!

Updated! Will be posting a new thread as well, hope to see you there!

Thank you both. This was my first "test scan" and I didn't have time to do more. I plan on doing a few later on, so it's helpful to get this input.

Can't seem to remove first picture, but its slightly lower res so it's the 2nd picture I'd ask for your evals on. Thanks! And hi.
