I’m now only missing 2 issues to complete my Nintendo run so are these going to be for sale?

Tons of books in have been filtering back, my turn around with CGC is getting down to 4 months now. All modern (cheapest) submissions of 25 books. Vast majority pressed by myself:

Legend of Zelda 1 2/91 Valiant Second Printing 9.0 WHITE
Legend of Zelda 3 4/91 Valiant Second Printing 9.4 WHITE
Ghost ...

Embossed covers are definitely pressable BTW, CCS just doesn't want to take the time and effort to do it at their cut rates. It can be done with proper care and would probably take multiple pressings to see results on the card stock. As long as there is no color breaks or scratches on that black ...

You bought the 2nd print?

Congrats on that sale. At prices like that I should look at seller mine.

Yeah, I still have another copy in 9.8 and I'm thinking "Why am I bothering to hold on at these prices?"

Good luck with the sale. I'll be watching it with keen interest.

I have half the Valiant Nintendo books in CGC 9.8 but at current prices I'll never finish as I was mostly putting it together as part of trying to have all Valiant books in CGC 9.8 as opposed to having a massive love of Nintendo ...

Friendly heads up that I put up for sale a few dozen Valiant Nintendo books fresh from CGC on my eBay store:
https://www.ebay.ca/sch/canadashipper/m.html?_trksid=p3692

Probably the best selection on eBAY ATM. Note prices are CDN $$$

I had close to 70 of these books graded so I have multiples of ...

This is a great looking book and was highly anticipated by myself.... but I really didn't really care for the story much. There was probably some artistic allegory that went over my head because I'm not really sure what I was reading.

Other Bad Idea releases have been way better IMO.

I have not submitted to CBCS yet but have submitted many hundreds to CGC. I also own MANY slabs (thousands) and they are 99% CGC.

One service that intrigues me about CBCS that I'll eventually take advantage of is Signature verification though I wonder if its really worth the money. I have some ...

Heavy stock and card stock covers can be pressed of minor imperfections but will likely require multiple pressing sessions. I recently pressed a few dozen Valiant Nintendo games from the early 90s and most books needed 2-6 times in the press to get rid of even minor flaws.

I PM'd the seller and auction got removed already.

CGC screwed up the label, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the submitter marked this as a Platinum variant and CGC failed to change the description as a regular copy...

Couple more 25 book submissions just came back, no pre screen. These were mailed out back in May:

Static 1 9.6 WHITE
Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir 1 9.8 WHITE
Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir 1 9.8 WHITE
Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir 1 9.8 WHITE
Captain America 334 9.4 ...

Short batch came in yesterday. Got beat up on the 9.4 prescreen, 10 books out of 25 rejected! These books are pretty solid so I'll have to take a closer look at them later.

Amazing Fantasy 1 9.8 WHITE
Uncanny X-Men 221 9.8 WHITE
Wolverine Limited Series 2 REJECT
Wolverine Limited Series REJECT ...

Another batch came in a few days ago. Pressed by me with a 9.6 pre-screen.

Spider-Man/Deadpool 15 9.8 WHITE
Deadpool & the Mercs for Money 3 Lim Variant Cover 9.8 WHITE
Deadpool & the Mercs for Money 3 Lim Variant Cover 9.8 WHITE
Despicable Deadpool 294 Variant Edition 9.8 WHITE
Despicable Deadpool ...

Those books look sweet! I haven’t posted on here in awhile. The reason I came back is that I have an opportunity to possibly buy a CBCS 9.8 of this book. I have no idea of the value. I know the last year or so comics have exploded. What are these going for nowadays? I can’t find any sold listings ...

.....or we can can call it the Lobo threesome?

If you follow my CGC submissions thread then you know I teased out that received 2 freshly graded platinums this week from CGC. I also had another 9.8 that I purchased previously. So now I own 3 9.8 Bloodshot 0 Platinum books and these rightly need ...

Outstanding, Sir! So this third BS is a translucent platinum?

Very cool find. An errored “error.”


Yes, translucent platinum, I like it!
Normally when you turn the cover page to the inner page will you see a pure silver layer. This book has this layer totally missing. Here is another pick ...

Here is a previous scan of the translucent cover:

CGC #3883224001

This is the second book that I recently got back from CGC. This copy is extra special.
I purchased from an eBay auction over 5 years ago from Singapore, some of you may even vaguely remember the listing as it was briefly discussed on VF.COM. I paid about $1000 for the raw copy, and ...
