Congratulations on getting the 9.8's. Also congratulations on getting your first two slabs! I started collecting again last October after a 30+ year hiatus. They didn't have slabs back then. I now have around 100. It is addicting and kind of like gambling. Yet more reasons for money to disappear out of my wallet. I learned after my first submission to press my comics before sending them in. My guess is that your Ultimate Spider-Man and Cobra Commander looked clean but probably had a waviness that seems to be on many new comics. I've heard that most graders let it go, but I think some do not. That's just my guess. Anyways, enjoyed your show. Good luck on future submissions!
You are never going to forget that 8.5 grade! 😂 Pretty cool you got Bill a comic long ago that turned out to be fairly valuable and it was just sitting with a bunch of forgotten comics for many years! Btw I have a hunch that CGC is going to be extra critical grading Ultimate Spider-Man #1 to lessen 9.8 grades to keep the book in demand and valuable. I am positive thousands of collectors have already submitted that book and the people at CGC are avoiding the dilemma of flooding the market with 9.8 which will kill the book. Enjoyed the content guys! The grades were a real eye opener!
Yeah, I'm almost positive you are right about Ultimate. And with CGC starting to throw more 9.9's into the mix, which is absolutely ridiculous....something that was a 9.8 might be coming back a 9.6 now. Not a huge loss, but it would have been nice!
Great video, bros! At least the grades in this video were much better than that 8...well, you know 😂 congrats on your first slabs, Bill! I'm more of a DC fan, so your explanation of the Ultimate universe was greatly appreciated!
Beautiful! The funny thing is, I HAD one, and I sold it off with the majority of my books 5 years ago. I should have gone through them better...that one could have been a 9.6!
Cool to see the bronze age boys. Always rad when family teams up for vids.
Ha! Thank you! We have a great time together and a lot of fun. Love the feedback.

Ugh, it's SO addicting! I have to STOP slabbing books! But I do it for you, the viewers, of course 😅
Congratulations to Bill on his first two slabs. I started with 2 slabs also... I'm at a little over 200 now. Kiss your money goodbye, Bill!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's impressive! Thanks, we'll see what happens 🙂
Congrats Bill!!
Thank you, I know he appreciates it!
Yes, greatly appreciated, thanks!

Bronze age boys! 🤘
I think it's catchy! 🤣
Great video and great submission!
Thank you! Appreciate you, my man! Glad you keep watching!
Great haul guys! Sorry about that 8.5.
Thank man! It was certainly a disappointment. But I feel good that a few books got some nice grades!
Gotta get your brother in the videos more often you guys have a good dynamic
Awesome feedback, I love it! I probably also need to let him talk more! Ha!
Glad to hear it, thanks! I'll be very happy to make more appearances in the future 🙂
I have a Secret Wars 8 CPV in a CGC 9.6.

How dare you talk about stories in an unboxing! 😂
