These are all few of my favorite covers that released this week 8/6/2025

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.
