CGC #3883224002 This copy is freshly graded from CGC. I purchased it raw off eBay from a sketchy BIN (bad photos and description) a number of years ago for $1000. Also originated from the USA. This copy is not as 'clean' a typical error book or even a regular edition #0. There is a yellow shimmering...

CGC #0159929001 This book I purchased off eBay around late 2009 for about $2000. Interestingly the original owner/CGC submitter included the original CGC submission form and was graded 06/25/2009. Other than the book coming Indiana, I have no more background info. It is a "run of the mill"...

.....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 to b...

Just emailed. He did mention that he's working on Canada as well.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to post to Australia. But i'm lucky i have my original i bought 30 years ago, plus a couple others ive bought along the way. When I asked about Sweden they hoped to be able to arrange something. I'm waiting with my fingers crossed. /Magnus How did you get ahold of the...

A thousand times yes, this book is worth submitting, it looks already to be a solid 9.6/9.8 already. Can't see any evidence that a press would even improve it because it looks pretty good. As for options submitting through someone in the Dallas area, I have none, but I'm sure someone else on the boa...

Finally got 3 heavy hitters back today, separated from a modern submission to Standard: Bloodshot 0 3/94 Valiant Platinum Printing Error 9.8 WHITE Bloodshot 0 3/94 Valiant Platinum Printing Error 9.8 WHITE Star Wars: The Clone Wars 1 9/08 9.8 WHITE Yes, you aren't seeing double, TWO Bloodshot 0 Plat...

Thanks, I msg'd the seller that this book was mislabeled by CGC

https://www.ebay.com/itm/294003061546 It doesn't really look like it was "manufactured with partial silver ink printed on interior cover." It's hard to tell from the pic but doesn't it look more like the main cover is lacking some ink? Correct, that 9.6 has no inner silver layer for the f...

Congrats, Lobo! :clap: I think my 20 books are still sitting in the shipping box in some dark corner of a building. :lol: No doubt! I have over 100 books still at CGC with some not officially received yet and its been over 2 months. But I'm pressing many more and will submit another round by the en...

Another new batch back to me, the Silver Surfer came back with a badly bent corner that was not there when I sent it out, it was a solid 9.6 book that I pressed myself: ENIAC 1 9.8 WHITE Gambit 1 9.8 WHITE H.A.R.D. Corps 6 9.8 WHITE Marvel Age 10 9.6 WHITE Silver Surfer v3 #7 8.5 WHITE The Manhattan...

Cool. Congrats. Can you give a high level on how pressing is done? Not asking for any trade secrets, but I don’t even know what the process is. Machinery? Can you press only the binding if necessary? What if it has a foil cover. Interesting you can do it on your own. Like the video Greg posted outl...

I'm back in the CGC saddle once again. Been submitting regular batches since mid January and the first books are finally coming back. What is special is about these submissions and every submission going forward is that I have been doing (and learning) my own pressing at home. I took the plunge sinc...

I have short box of these books. Time to haul them out and add them to the ever growing 'to be press and graded pile'

PM sent

Maybe these are manufacturer defects?

Pics would help...

The 29th year of Valiant brought us a legit Hollywood movie of a Valiant character. That has to count for something even if a pandemic blew the wind out of it's sails.

Sure but they all have condition issues! Well maybe not 39 of them but the rest! This book is printed on terrible paper, wavy, easily torn at the spine. I am shocked we got to 39. Given there was uncirculated stock, it should be many hundreds. If it was untouched stock then pressing could do wonder...

The point value for variants is also wacky. VEI variants are no different in value than regular issues. I always thought it was that the creation of new sets with moderns that every book got the base 24 pts and just stayed at 24 pts indefinitely until a request was submitted to change the score. I ...

After a very lengthy pause in submissions, I decided to rush out 25 moderns along with some emergency reslabbing books at the beginning of June. Managed to get some Valiants in this bunch and all were "natural" 9.8s that didn't need the pressing treatment. It's been awhile since I had all ...
