I got my first order back from CGC, more a test run to see how the experience was. I was a CBCS customer up until they were bought by Beckett a few years ago. I dont flip books so all of these were mostly for the cover art and the PC. I was shooting for 9.6, 9.8s. no pre-screens.
so the grading was a little suspect, but overall not the worst… but not the best. No broken plastic shards or mislabels! Woohoo! Not as good as the newer CBCS case tho.
4 9.8 - thought 2 of these were 9.6
3 9.6 - thought these were more or less the same grades
2 9.4 - thought these were at least 9.6s
1 8.5 - this one is on me totally missed a stain, ah well bummer but at least the cover is cool enough to display.

What were you doing with that guardians book since 2021 that it’d get a “stain”…?
He had a weak moment when he saw Gamora

Looks like CGC is doing some kind of pr work tomorrow on Instagram. Edit: Sorry it’s NEXT Tuesday. So you all have time to write some questions down.

Hey Matt - I know everything’s subjective; but why do I have to send the same book in 3 times to get the appropriate grade? How do you ensure consistency amongst your graders who clearly are on different wavelengths.

Who’s pubic hairs keep showing up in CGC slabs? That’s the only thing I wanna know…

If you guys are expecting Matt Nelson to answer all your tough questions, you’re going to be severely disappointed. He did an interview on Beyond Wednesday and I had to turn it off after 20 minutes. I understand the host is in a tough position by having a guest on and don’t want to ask all the tough questions. Just don’t have him on if all you’re doing is a PR spin on a company that is a lightning rod for controversy. This was during the time of acetategate.

I had this targeted at 9.6 prior to submission; and 9.6 it is.
Then again my watch broke 9:20 p.m. yesterday and it’s showing 9:20 pm right now.
Miracles do happen twice a day. 
Highest signed copy on the census to date.
Comichron has this issue as (I think) less than 1000 copies (not a variant).
Adam Hughes great cover
Have one more (presumably) lower grade coming.
I’ll be happy only when I get it AND it’s not chipped, cracked, smudged, scuffed, etc… which is rare these days. Can a miracle of no damage and an accurately graded comic occur on the same item? Holding my breath.

This is going on now if anyone wants to watch.
Got these back from CGC:
I was hoping for a 4.0 or 4.5 on Batman 97 but I’m ecstatic the Detective Comics 241 came back a 5.0 from CGC! I thank my presser and cleaner for sure.

Those keepers or sellers
Basically anything I own is for sale for the right price besides certain Moon Knight items and sentimental items. I have one person I know from going to cons with some interest but don’t know if he’s for sure interested. If you have interest can always chat about them!

Trade you a minty copy of She Hulk 3 (first Brailey Briggs, the next Miles) for your 5.0?

Tempting, but until Slott confirms if they’re the same character or not I need to be cautious. Lol!
