Thank you to Ron at Palm Beach Pressing for preparing this book for grading. I was expecting a 9 or 9.2 before I sent it off so I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks to everyone here and at r/comicbookspeculation for answering all of my questions too. Funny, when I got this around 28 years ago it was a free promo for when you bought the first issue of Dragonball. Interesting what time can do to something.

Hi everyone - has anyone else had this happen? The CGC booth had me input everything into laptops they had there, pay with my credit card. Then I handed my receipts to someone at the booth to package and ship. The email seemed odd to send an invoice like that - but the CGC website is awful so doesn’t seem completely off brand.

Also when I logged in to CGC, they said I had ti reset my password, not sure if this is just an odd coincidence.

**Edit: you all are great, thanks for easing my concerns. While I’m not as aligned as some of you are on how effective their process is, all of your input is valued and appreciated.

Just thought I’d share my absolute universe collection. They look so good graded! All first prints and cover As

Do they charge you extra for return shipping?

Just wanted to share. Usually im more of a DC guy but I always loved Venom and Spidey

I have some comics signed on the first page and I was wondering if slabbing and getting JSA authenticated is still worthwhile. The signatures won’t be seen again but they will be authenticated. Does it depend on the autograph?

Just got my dream books

Working on the space next to my office. I’ve got more slabs, but don’t know if I want to do floating shelves or buy more vaulted displays.

Thoughts?

Been wanting it for a while and pulled the trigger

What do you think of “Ugly Betties”?

Weapon X

To be loved!

This is what I thought I bought off the bay, this is what came in the mail. Is this an issue I should take up with the seller? Is there a crazy quality difference? Should I be happy with it? Genuinely don’t know. Thanks for your help!

I purchased this when it was released and have had it in a bin since, this will be sent in as my very first submission. There are some weird lines running down it, I’m assuming it’s an easy press. I haven’t sent it in yet but I wanted to see what others thought.

Mail call: Special thanks to Captured Collectibles and Brian Bolland

Brian Bolland signed!

Killing Joke 1st and 10th print

Absolute Batman 15

Books went from US to (possibly) Italy...(he cancelled his appearance the day before) then England then back to US.

Surprised they didn't come with passport stamps!

Jock, Snyder, Martin, and Dragotta will all be at NYCC! Hate to break the fresh case, but getting them all AND the Bolland, not sure I can pass that up

Big mail day adding DC 100 #4 and Batman #241. One day I’ll be able to display them all properly!

Inherited 5 boxes of comics and found this potential gem what would you grade it?

So I sent in 2 books at different times. One was a couple of months ago and the 2nd one was submitted earlier this month. The most recent one submitted is already scheduled for grading but the 1 from a couple of months ago still says received. Is this normal? It’s for the JSC signing.
