Actually submitted these books back in March for pressing and grading, they finished pressing in May and then were submitted for grading on May 23rd. Looks like I should have the grades any day now. These are all older books, '86 - '92 so I'm hoping for 7.5 or better on the Secret Wars and She-Hulk and a 9.0 or better on the Uncanny X-Men and 9.4 or better on the Spawn #1.

I'll reply with grades when they post.

Went and met Joe Quesada last weekend at one of my local shops and got him to sign this copy of Batman #500 which has been in my collection for 30 years. Then sent it of to be JSA/CGC signature series graded, will pay results when it comes back in 3-6 months, lol

I said if post the results here on Mantle when I got my books back from CGC, we'll the first group arrived today. Here are the results:

11 books submitted

5 x 9.8's

5 x 9.6's

1 x 9.4

Overall very happy with the results. Currently NFS/NFT

I might have gone a little overboard when #158 dropped in March, but I picked up one of every Variant cover, plus the 1:25 and 1:50 incentives.

I currently have 17 books at CGC getting graded, there are some classic books like Secret Wars #8 from 1985 all the way up to the Joshua Cassara Red Hulk Variant from 2025 which is limited to only 3,000 copies.

I'm beyond stoked to get this order back in the near future, CGC is running about 3-6 months on turnaround. I'll post the results here on Mantel when they return.
