So I sent my very first book to CGC.
I'm pretty happy with the results.
This will be put up for sale, but still in the researching stage.

Re: So I sent my very first book to CGC..... talk about KEY!
So I wish that the story was a bit more dramatic, but here it is. (I wish I could tell you I got it in a trade from some Templar Knights, but I did not)
I was at a show, and pre-show a good amount of the dealers go digging through the boxes of the ..... um.... not so regular dealers looking for treasure.
So I walk up to a booth (one of the WCVC dudes is with me, I'll keep his name out to protect the innocent) and I see a Valiant tab in a box.
SWEET! I love seeing Valiant tabs.
I pull the tab forward and the 1st book I see is the Plat. I stop for a moment, clear my mind and double check the price box. I mean, I know what a Plat is, and I've checked the price box of TONS and I mean TONS of BS #0s And no tho one has no price.
So I pause for one quick moment thinking of the perfect thing to say to my homie next to me.
................................. ( I pull the book out of the box show it to him and say......)
"You think I should get this?"
His answer was PERFECT!
"I'll split it with you."
And there it is. I walked over to the dude and pay and it's mine.
I then showed a few of the other WCVC dudes and they thought it could be a 9.6-9.4. Regardless, it needs to be CGCed. So off it went, and good news, it's a 9.6.
Now, once Comikaze is over this weekend, I'll get a price and put it up for sale.
I wish there were ninjas and radioactive slime and and Land Speeder involved..... but nope. Just pulled it out of a box. It was just sitting there waiting for me.

You just never know what you are going to pull out of a long-box. That is why you keep looking.
That is the ultimate find, in my opinion.

Exactly. Do you know how many thousands of people have probably looked in that box, saw it and said "Meh. I have like ten of these..."Elveen wrote:The dig is the fun. You just never know.

Great, great story. This really is a needle in a haystack story. How many of these are there? 10-20?
