Nice!

That is a sweet haul! Good on you man and perfect timing with Divinity II!

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if the book ticks up with Divinity II. It's been sliding from around $120 eight months ago to around $85 presently.

The first wave is back from CGC: I submitted 14 raw copies and 17 triple-signed copies of Divinity #1A. The unsigned books arrived today. A pretty good haul. Out of 14, 2 are graded at 9.6 and 12 at 9.8.

Sweet!!!

I think the non-9.8 variants will end up being the really rare version of this book.

That's pretty funny. It is a sturdy comic.

I feel that way about my Bloodshot Platinum - the lowest graded copy.

9.8 across the board! ------ .8

Interesting that it specifies that signature date, 10/10/15. I've never submitted signed books before, didn't know it was something they noted. I like that these have an early signature date.

I picked up a set of Divinity (and The Valiant) off of eBay but mine are VF+ at best ... only paid $18 and shipping though, so obviously not going to ever CGC these.

I want to admit that I was not overly impressed with the Divinity story though ... I think my graduate studies in the USSR (actually Medieval Russia through the USSR) is keeping me from enjoying the story for what it is. "In Soviet Union, story enjoys you!"

However, I am definitely putting in my order for Divinity II ... I'll put my disbelief in the gulag so I can enjoy the story this time.

If you studied Russian history, you may enjoy this thread.

HAHAHA Exactly! Thanks for the link!

Had Jmatt disproved the theory that you shouldn't send multiples of the same book to CGC in the same shipment?

He may have! Although the prestige format books grade very well. I'm assuming the stiffer cover stock holds up better assuming you treat your comics with any respect. Every single prestige format book I've submitted has come back 9.8 or higher. These are books that are handled, packaged, and shipped 3,000 miles across the country to me before I unpack them and then repackage them to ship to CGC.

[nycjadie]

I had one come back a 9.6. I blame handling of the book at CGC though!

I've screened several that weren't 9.8. The problem is if they are mishandled in distribution, there is no pressing those books into shape.

Oddly enough, that was my own theory.

I think I would agree it was disproved.

[StarBrand]

Lol! I didn't realize that was your theory, although I remember reading your putting it forth.

Well if he gets 4500 for that copy I'll put my 9.9 for sale at 10k

An honest question: What is the point of that? A 9.8 went for $369 back in November. Is he trying to set a different benchmark for the book somehow? He must have a reason, I just don't know what it is.
