Better lucky than good. Metal Cover Shadowman

Post by apacseller »

I love these metal covers, and some of the later ones I think will be mega-sleepers if the Valiant party ever gets mainstream. Anyway, been super lucky so far with metal submissions (all 9.8s), but after this recent one, I almost fell off my chair.

That sucks, CGC gods are fickle. Either way, I gave most of it back on Harbinger #1 submissions (hoping for 9.6/9.8, got 9.0, 9.2- split seams AGAIN!) and some old Marvel that was prescreened by a top notch presser at 9.0+, and came back 7.5 and 8s. Win some, lose some. But yeah, the Shadowman submission was pretty insane.

Bananas! I love it! Congrats, man. You deserve it given your submissions. I just sent in HWII, Shadowman, Ninjak, Bloodshot, Q&W, and a Q&W without a sticker. Hoping for 9.8s to join my X-O 9.8. I have an extra X-O and Ninjak. I think X-O will be the most valuable of them all, but that Shadowman is the most beautiful, in my opinion.

Congrats, Brother! :clap: Some of us go through life and never get a 9.9 and you snag two in one batch. Amazing! Let me know if you get a 9.8 that you want to sell.

Yeah, these are my first 9.9s too! Been lucky with Valiant metal books, less likely with some recent DC and Marvel reslabs. I think CGC is tightening up again. :(
