After 20+ Years I Finally Graded a CGC 10
It took me long enough, but I got two CGC 10s in the my last submission (yes, I'm submitting books again!) One of them is on eBay right now for your viewing pleasure.
Jupiter's Circle #2 Image Comics May 2015 Sketch Cover Variant CGC 10 GEM MINT
Congratulations Metropolis on 25 Years!
Captain America #241 Cover At Heritage in September
Frank Miller and Bob McLeod Captain America #241 Punisher Cover | LotID #26002 | Heritage Auctions
This was, at one point, a really nuclear hot book. Miller + the Punisher in the 1980s/early 1990s was like catnip for collectors. I still have a soft spot for this book and love the image. It's sort of a "clean" version of Miller because of the McLeod inks, but is iconic in any case.

Comics!
I've actually submitted some books to CGC for the first time in a few years. I guess I'm selling comics again?
Action Comics #1 CGC 8.5 Kansas City Sells for $6,000,000
Action Comics #1 Kansas City Pedigree (DC, 1938) CGC VF+ 8.5 | Lot #91002 | Heritage Auctions
I'm out of the loop enough to not really know how I feel about this result, but it's still a new record. I'm diving back in slowly to update my data so we'll have a couple of years of data up on the site over the next month or so, including this new record.
I'm NOT out of the loop so much that I'm not incredibly impressed by the quality of this auction at the top end.
