gadzukes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I submitted this to CGC a couple days ago. Because it's pricey I'll probably get it back within a couple weeks. I have a standing deal with a "Storage Unit buyer" to call me any time she finds comics in a storage unit. I negotiated a $1000 price for this one (I think I did great on that price!). This was the ONLY comic in a recent unit she bought at auction. Once I handed her the money I asked her what the storage unit cost her........ she said, "$25". She did really well on that unit. It's pretty nice, not perfect, but pretty nice. Everything is snug and it has the MVS. Biggest flaw is that area around Wolverine right wrist by the spine.

No, I did a straight submit to CGC. The comic is very flat. I suppose a press could help it but I didn't see it jumping even a half grade.

ThothAmon Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 7.5 seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCComics Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Very close to 8.0 and wouldn't be surprised if it got it, but I'm with the 7.5 crowd, although I think a press would give it a half grade jump. Nice colors, congrats The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlites Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm in the 8.0 category too considering how things went with the grading contest last month. Keep us posted. Great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 GRADE IS IN........ 7.0 with OW - W pages I'm cool with that. I didn't get it pressed like some of you said I should. I wonder if I would have gotten that 1/2 grade bump? Not A Clone, Lucky Baru and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at 90 day GPA averages, the 14 7.0s that have been sold are out performing the 13 7.5s that have been sold. hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
