Great unboxing Dani. I wish your books would have had better grades. Good thing is, at least you got your books back. I have read some wild stories. I pray all is going well with your health. My wife had some issues this past year that got pretty serious. Thankfully, she made it through and is feeling good. Take your time and heal. Be well and thank you for sharing.
Great video as always, I felt your pain with those two 9.2 books ouch. I hope and pray that your health improves everyday, plus no worries we will still be here!!!
Thank you! I try not to press about grades too much. I'm definitely not a person that expects everything to be a 9.8. My lady lair has come a long way. Still a work in progress 😁
So cool having books signed by Todd! Very disappointing getting two back damaged, that’s a shame. Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope you’re doing better now. Great video, I love your energy.
Thank you! Yes I’m doing much better. The damage was tough to see. I worked hard to make sure the books were in great shape. In the end though, I’m just glad I have books signed by Todd.
Thank you for sharing this unboxing Dani Girl! I do like the book signed on the back! I submitted a Batman 423 and Spawn 1 only. I loved that Spawn 312, awesome looking cover! That Batman 423 with the yellow background looks great! Congrats on the 9.8's!
@@danigirlcomics I did! I received a 8.0 on my Batman 423, but there was some insect chewing on the cover but all other defects I was able to remove all of them in the Clean and Press. I also sent a Spawn 1 and received a 9.8, so I was pretty stoked about that! I made a video of my unboxing and you can see it here if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/3gCW5-hqLxQ/видео.html
Ugh! Super frustrating after working as hard as you have only to have someone else damage them. Way to get on those health issues, some things are more important to take care of than comics 😉 I love that you get signatures on the back cover! 🤙🏻 thanks for another great video!
It really is frustrating! I had those books looking wonderful. Definitely getting my health back on track, high blood pressure is more serious than I realized.
Hey girl, welcome back. I'm sorry that you had a rough go of your McFarlane signature submissions, but the 9.8's are gorgeous. I sent three books in myself my OG copy of ASM 328 (9.6), Spawn 1 (9.4), Spawn / Batman (9.8). I am actually thinking of sending my Spawn / Batman back for the Frank Miller signing that they just announced though now I am nervous that it comes back at a lower grade.
Thank you! You are braver than I. I can't bring myself to crack a 9.8 to send in for a signing. I have an Alex Ross Wolverine in a 9.8 but I just can't risk it. Good luck if you decide to go through with it. Congratulations on your grades!
Economics and comics did a great video on this happening. Apparently they stack the books and they are known for falling off the table because they are stacked too high and hitting the floor and corners get bent. It's crazy!
Why would anyone ever watch a channel named "Economics and Comics?" Guys like that and SwaggleMouse treat comics like the stock market. They may as well be talking about Pork Futures more than anything to do with an artistic medium.
You would think a company responsible for grading would take better care of the book while in their possession!!! This happened to me way back in the early two thousands, I sent in an awesome run of Frank Miller Daredevil run, Super Super pist!!!!!!
Very cool books! Sorry about the damage to your books. They all look great with the custom label and signatures, especially the 423 with the yellow cover.
@@danigirlcomics Thanks! I'm getting back into pressing after taking a break. Hope to have some books I pressed sent off to CGC soon. Keep up the great work with your channel!
I feel your pain! I didn't have any problems with the McFarlane signing, but about a year ago, I sent in a Dark Knight Returns 1 in 9.6-9.8 condition for a Frank Miller signing. Came back an 8.5 with a brand new corner crunch. Ouch!
Awesome books, I've heard that Todd McFarlane signs his creations with his full name and books he's worked on for Marvel and DC with just his first initial and last name. I sent in a Spawn #9 and a Spider-Man #1 Gold web to be signed. Same thing the Spawn was a full signature and the spidy was just T. McFarlane.
3 things - 1) Hope you feel better soon, 2) AWESOME Superman statue and 3) I used to send graded books less than 2 years ago to CGC (combo CBCS and PGX) and 95% of the time they would get a bump in grade. Since last year its been backwards with them suffering color breaking bends and I stopped sending in graded books but I do use CCS since I cant even press my shirts, much less a comic! Still great books especially that Gold Batman #423!
Thank you! I'm definitely trying to get my health back in order. The Supes statue is a beast, definitely a grail for me. It's hard for me to pay for pressing when I have my own press, so I gotta live with the risk.
💯 The main issue is my blood pressure. That's why I stay positive so that it doesn't get worse..lol! Kidding aside I'm definitely working on it. Thanks for watching and the well wishes!
Nice. There's a saying, " Make lemons into lemonade." So, what I recommend is IF you ever sell it, market it as the ONE OF A KIND, ONLY ONE IN EXISTANCE, TODD MCFARLANE BENT CORNER VARIANT. 🤔 😉 😄
I spent weeks fretting over what book to send, and which had the best chance at a 9.8. I knew I was only sending one. I passed on the books I really wanted signed like ASM300 and my Batman books. I went with Haunt 1 newstand, miraculously it came back a 9.8!!
Thank you! This particular event cost $120 per book. It may be different if you can catch him at a comic con. That’s not always an option as they may not come to or near your city, which makes these signings nice for those who can’t make events.
Nice unboxing Dani but Good Lord! They really need some frickin damage control on books! I know you , myself, & other Collectors spend a lot of time and energy in cleaning and pressing our books to make sure we have the highest grade. It's unfair that the books are damaged due to carelessness. But still good looking books! On a side note, you need to give me your chair!🤣🤣
A shame about those .2s! That last 9.8 was great. Nice to see it come through in the end. I did what you used to -- paid for them to press it, after hearing that they can get roughed up during signings and that they press afterwards. Ended up with two 9.6s, though both have no notes and have no noticeable issues, which sucks, but the biggest miss is both are just T. and no Todd. The full name looks much nicer, but with 4,000+ signings, I'm sure he was constantly struggling to give a shit. Really surprised they didn't have Spider-Man/Todd singing combo labels, would've looked really nice. Spawn label looks fantastic!
Very nice signature signed collection!! I have to agree with you about not doing a pressing after the signing of books. As you mentioned, I don't want to spend on it. Also, I hope your health improves soon and that it's nothing serious. 🙏🏾 Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Awesome video! Congrats on the signed books. It’s cool to be able to send them in to be signed since it’s very hard to make it to a comicon where your favorite artist will be. The 9.2 on this one is still a respectable grade. I think that a lot of the damage for books probably happens whenever they’re unlocked from them at the destination. Signing in different colors is a great idea. For some reason all of my ninja turtle books are always signed and black sharpie and it’s really hard to see the signatures. It’s almost like they should go with a metallic color for the autograph to pop more Thank you again and take care!
Thank you! Yes it is nice to have an alternative option to get books signed. And yes 9.2 is still a decent grade. It was just tough because I know it was a higher grade going in.
That sucks about the damage. I'm also looking to send books into the Alex Ross signing but I'm going to take plenty of pictures and maybe even video of my books before I send them off that way of they are damaged at the signing I can at least try to get some money back or store credit. Cool vid and good luck with the Ross signing. 👊🏼
Yes I definitely should have taken pics before sending my books in. That's totally on me. I'll definitely be taking pics going forward. Hope your sigs turn out great and you get awesome grades back!
I sent 2 books in I got the T McFarlane and then I got the Tod I’m sending in 2for Alex Ross signing I don’t know why but I’m starting to like the signing on the back of the book especially the Batman books you had sign I look forward to your next video ok get well
You know my feelings on risking the pressing on the signed books, so let's skip that and instead wish you improved health! Glad to hear it was/is something you can work on and I wish you a speedy recovery!
Haha! Thanks Lee! Yes I know you’re stance on the pressing 😁. Yep high blood pressure is more serious than I realized. I’m definitely getting it under control.
Great books! Please contact CGC about those corner bends! That is not right! I’ve had grading process damage my books, and I was told that if that happens they are supposed to flag it and address it! Tough task, but I hope you can get a press and regrade perhaps!🎉
Sucks about the damage. How are you sending them in? Are you making your own windows for the signature. After seeing how cgc handles the books in these signings, you almost have to make them drop proof. Using over size bags and boards and several boards to the point where the book can't move around at all. This way the graders are the first to touch the book. But damage can still happen at that point. But I've been lucky so far doing that. Only had CCS damage books on me.
Yeah I make my own window bags. I've sent a good amount of books in for sigs with no issues. This signing and the Finch signing was the first time my books came back with damage.
Them two 9.2s are kinda suspect, especially considering they were bent in the same spot. But glad you're able to rebound (health & book wise) & as always I dig your videos!
I’m working on it Clyde! My blood pressure has been running high and I had to go on meds for it. Now I’m working really hard to get it down and get off the meds.
That Batman #423 with the yellow background looks AWESOME. That sucks you didn't get the grade you wanted on the other books though :/ In regards to getting signatures by color I would be mindful of that because sometimes the markers they use might be too deep/thick in color or too thin lol so it's a gamble. I got my books signed and glad there weren't any issues other than the fact he most likely ran of color on one marker and didn't sign my books in the color I wanted but it's cool I'm happy
Do you think it was possibly damaged in shipping? And it is def possible that they dropped them. But it is weird that not all were damaged. That usually means that it's not from shipping because of the inconsistency. If damaged during shipping, it is customary to see them all damaged in the same fashion and location. Weird for sure.
I mean anything is possible. I pack my books the same way every time so it's weird to me that only 2 of them came back this way. I've never had shipping damage before.
2 sent in 2 books spawn 77 (9.4) and spawn 333 (9.8) full name on books. I will be uploading video in a week or so but got tons of unboxing video on my channel. You don't think those corners will press out
Congratulations on the full sigs and awesome grades! Yes the press will straighten the corners out but the bends are color breaking so it would probably only get a 9.4 with the color break.
Send it in for a press and regrade. I got a 9.4 on my Batman 423, it was a 9.8 when I sent it in. I should have got it pressed while it was there. But I resubbed and had them press it and I got the 9.8. The books are manhandled at these things. CCS is very hit and miss but their times are way better plus they are the only press option for signed books
Same thing happened to my ASM 300. They scuffed the back corner, which was black, and now it got downgraded from a 9.6 to a 9.4 after signing and regrading. So frustrating. I don't understand why they can't take care of our property when their whole business is to grade the condition of our books.
That's exactly it. They're responsible for grading. Not handling. It's a total Diced roll on getting shit graded it seems. Scary stuff. I'd rather go for raw comic signing at a convention
@@danigirlcomics sadly i'm not that familiar with sports, i'm a fellow collector from Europe/Hungary and D12 was my favorite rap group at the time, and I know they came from Detroit, I think that's why their logo is so similar. I also collect these statues, there are a lot of spectacular pieces, recently Assassin's Creed Ezio & Edward 1/4 scale statues will arrive from PureArts, I'm really looking forward to them!
Ok yes. The logo is for the Detroit baseball team in Detroit. D12 modeled their logo after it. Congratulations on your incoming statues! I’m not familiar with PureArts, I’ll have to look them up.
You just need to have a CGC account or if you have a local comic shop that has a CGC account they can send it for you. Once a signing is announced you fill out an online form on CGC's website of the books you want to send in. Your books need to be in a window bag. There are lots of videos about how to window bag your books or you can order already made window bags from CGC. If you search "window bag comics" on RUclips some vids should pop up.
ty very i saw some n was wounding what those squares were but ill look up the videos of how to set them up. how do i write up on the paperwork so i drop off my books at my local comic shop that does CGC?
Yes some comic shops send books to CGC for their customers. If they do it they should have the paperwork. I believe CGC has a form that you can print from their website too. I submit mine using their online form so I’ve never tried to print a form.
So sorry Dani for the damaged books. I've never sent a book to get graded and this is even more reason for me not too. You pay all this money and the grading companies really don't care. Sucks.
I turned in blue label 9.8s to those idiots & added the useless hamhanded ccs & thiose 9.8s we’re transformed thru the magic of CGC at 9.4s, 9.2s, etc. I’d litigate if I had the time.
I wanted to send about 12 books and after the horror stories I've seen and heard , I'm kinda glad I didn't, CGC is just awful on their own, and they rushed to get the books back to people with some books accruing damage from CGC handlers and the rumor that they themselves are dictating the census numbers on certain books make me wanna just go with CBCS or EGS
Yes it’s definitely a risk. I’ve heard good and bad things about CBCS and EGS. In the end they all have areas that can definitely use improvement. Thanks for watching!
Do you take pics of the book before you send them in? I’d be pissed as hell and want them to refund my money if they damaged it. I’d want the proof of what I sent in and what I got back!! F’ that!! OR damaged by the delivery service you used.
I haven’t had any issues with my signed books so far. ☺️ As far as value, most of the signed books I’ve seen sell for more than unsigned books. Thanks for checking out the video!
Great vid Dani! Awesome books. Hope your health issues get resolved 🙏
Thank you! Things are heading in the right direction with my health. Just gotta stay on top of it.
Welcome back & wishing you a Happy & Healthy 2023!
Thank you! Definitely trying to get trending in the right direction. May you have a happy and healthy 2023 as well!
Just stumbled upon this channel and I’m glad I did! I love your energy and personality. Looking forward to more! Cheers

Thank you and I am receiving those positive vibes 💯
Wooow!! Sorry for those damages...But at least you got them back! And 🙏🏿 for a speedy recovery!!
Thanks so much. Yes gotta find the silver lining.. lol! I do have them back.
Loved the video! Great stuff
Thank you ☺️
You always have a good vibe with your hauls regardless of the grades. And your hobby room/background is EPIC !!

9:00 yes, a nice red signature would have popped on this one. Maybe right overtop of his name printed on cover.
💯
Economics and comics did a great video on this happening. Apparently they stack the books and they are known for falling off the table because they are stacked too high and hitting the floor and corners get bent. It's crazy!
😮 I missed that video. I’ll have to go look for it.
Why would anyone ever watch a channel named "Economics and Comics?" Guys like that and SwaggleMouse treat comics like the stock market. They may as well be talking about Pork Futures more than anything to do with an artistic medium.
You would think a company responsible for grading would take better care of the book while in their possession!!! This happened to me way back in the early two thousands, I sent in an awesome run of Frank Miller Daredevil run, Super Super pist!!!!!!
My suggestion to everyone sending in their books, Photograph them front and back!!
@@saintsataniko2116 sounds like your jealous cat with a narrow mind

Yes it's the risk we take with our books so I gotta live with the results..lol! I am on the path to feeling better. Thanks Brian!
Aww that’s too bad But all nice additions for your PC.
For sure! I’m very happy to have them.
Congratulations on the 9.8’s. The corner dings are frustrating. Nevertheless you did get two 9.8’s. Take care of yourself ✌🏾
Thank you! I'm definitely working on it!
That Batman #423 with the yellow background looks AWESOME. That sucks you didn't get the grade you wanted on the other books though :/

Send it in for a press and regrade. I got a 9.4 on my Batman 423, it was a 9.8 when I sent it in. I should have got it pressed while it was there. But I resubbed and had them press it and I got the 9.8. The books are manhandled at these things. CCS is very hit and miss but their times are way better plus they are the only press option for signed books
Congratulations on getting your book back to a 9.8!
Same thing happened to my ASM 300. They scuffed the back corner, which was black, and now it got downgraded from a 9.6 to a 9.4 after signing and regrading. So frustrating. I don't understand why they can't take care of our property when their whole business is to grade the condition of our books.
It is truly frustrating.
That's exactly it. They're responsible for grading. Not handling. It's a total Diced roll on getting shit graded it seems. Scary stuff. I'd rather go for raw comic signing at a convention
Those corner bends are ridiculous. I feel your pain. Makes me not want to send them in.
You got nice collectibles, btw, the logo on your hoody is a D12 logo or it is a Detroit logo?
Thank you! It't a Detroit Tigers hoodie. I'm from Detroit.
@@danigirlcomics sadly i'm not that familiar with sports, i'm a fellow collector from Europe/Hungary and D12 was my favorite rap group at the time, and I know they came from Detroit, I think that's why their logo is so similar. I also collect these statues, there are a lot of spectacular pieces, recently Assassin's Creed Ezio & Edward 1/4 scale statues will arrive from PureArts, I'm really looking forward to them!
Ok yes. The logo is for the Detroit baseball team in Detroit. D12 modeled their logo after it. Congratulations on your incoming statues! I’m not familiar with PureArts, I’ll have to look them up.
Do you press other people's books or just your own?
Just my own. Taking on other people's books is a big responsibility and I've only been pressing my own books for about 10 months.
did u make a complaint with their customer service email? they usually will fix things with some proof
I haven’t. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures before sending them in.
whats process sending books to get signed, ive never done it but thats the only of getting ,certain signatures😫
You just need to have a CGC account or if you have a local comic shop that has a CGC account they can send it for you. Once a signing is announced you fill out an online form on CGC's website of the books you want to send in. Your books need to be in a window bag. There are lots of videos about how to window bag your books or you can order already made window bags from CGC. If you search "window bag comics" on RUclips some vids should pop up.
ty very i saw some n was wounding what those squares were but ill look up the videos of how to set them up. how do i write up on the paperwork so i drop off my books at my local comic shop that does CGC?
Yes some comic shops send books to CGC for their customers. If they do it they should have the paperwork. I believe CGC has a form that you can print from their website too. I submit mine using their online form so I’ve never tried to print a form.
ok ty
Sucks what happened to the books. What were they doin with these corners!? Hope you're doing better with the health issues.
Thank you! I'm definitely making my health a priority.
So sorry Dani for the damaged books. I've never sent a book to get graded and this is even more reason for me not too. You pay all this money and the grading companies really don't care. Sucks.
While I will still get books graded. I'm definitely looking at alternative ways to protect and display my books. I'll be doing a video on that soon. 😉
"what in the multi-verse did they do?" 🤔
I’ll never know! Lol!!
So damn frustrating. I’m so sorry.
It is! I’ve been pretty fortunate with my previous submissions. Guess I was due..lol!
Bad break on those corner dents, It sucks that CGC takes no accountability for that
I’m thinking that some of your books could’ve got damage by the shipping company on the way to cgc headquarters.
It's possible. I've sent many books in and this along with the Finch book is the first time I've had books come back damaged.
Mine better be fine I cracked a 9.8 Malibu sun 13 for this
🤞Hopefully it will be!
@@danigirlcomics update I got screwed it came back a 9.4
Oh no! Can you see any damage?
Had the same issue with my book. 🤦♂️
Geez! Ugh!!! What did they do to our books? 🤦🏾♀️
Banged up corner smh. I already sent it back to be re-holdered too because the slab was busted when it got here...
@@TwoBrothersComics 😦
I couldn’t help it, the books looked so tasty, I just had to use my teeth on them!
Lol!
Great review sorry about your books.
Thank you! I had been lucky not getting any damages in the past. Guess it was bound to happen at some point.
Well you seem to always back stay positive and focus.
Nice books. Sorry they damaged some of them. It’s making me think twice about sending in books for Alex Ross
It's a risk for sure. Hard for me to pass up the chance to get an Alex Ross sig though..lol!
They dropped your stack of books. They do that a lot
🥺
I turned in blue label 9.8s to those idiots & added the useless hamhanded ccs & thiose 9.8s we’re transformed thru the magic of CGC at 9.4s, 9.2s, etc. I’d litigate if I had the time.
They probably want to make sure the supply of 9.8’s is low so they are careless with the books. I’d be pissed after paying all that money.
Yea it's frustrating for sure. Still glad to have them for the pc though.
I have seen videos of Todd McFarland handle books during signing events - it was like watching a horror movie… He handles comics with no respect…
A horror movie 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I wanted to send about 12 books and after the horror stories I've seen and heard , I'm kinda glad I didn't, CGC is just awful on their own, and they rushed to get the books back to people with some books accruing damage from CGC handlers and the rumor that they themselves are dictating the census numbers on certain books make me wanna just go with CBCS or EGS
Yes it’s definitely a risk. I’ve heard good and bad things about CBCS and EGS. In the end they all have areas that can definitely use improvement. Thanks for watching!
Todd messed up your book! WAT DA! :P
Someone did! Lol! Could have been the handlers that pass the books to him from what I’m being told.
@@danigirlcomics Demand a free autograph. Never know! ;)
Do you take pics of the book before you send them in? I’d be pissed as hell and want them to refund my money if they damaged it. I’d want the proof of what I sent in and what I got back!! F’ that!! OR damaged by the delivery service you used.
Sadly I did not take pictures of this batch of books. Lesson learned.
Why mail your graded books anywhere? Why not wait for a legit signing and go there yourself?
Well waiting and getting to signings is not always an option for me. I'm glad for these opportunities to send them in to get signed.
Man that's bullcrap cgc is definitely falling off when it comes to care of submissions they need to step it up
Fyi: Never get your books signed on the front or back cover. The ink will damage the paper and bring down the value.
I haven’t had any issues with my signed books so far. ☺️ As far as value, most of the signed books I’ve seen sell for more than unsigned books. Thanks for checking out the video!
