Ssalefish GSO First Look #221 for 7.28.21
Lots of little notes around the shop this week!
We’re back in stock on all basic BCW supplies, meaning Current, Silver, Golden, and Magazine bags & boards and Short, Long, Graded, and Magazine boxes, plus resealable Current & Silver bags & boards and Short & Graded bins! Toploaders and Mylites remain elusive, but we’ve still got our backorders in place and you’ll be the first ones to know when they come in!
As you can see above, we’ve got some truly rare books back from CGC this week and they’re all available on the Backwall right now (notations can be found on Instagram). Books like the Spider-Man #1 Platinum Edition are so hard-to-find, Jay and I have only come across one in all of years in the business! Also, I’ll take this opportunity to say that we’re not going to be sending books to CGC on behalf of customers anymore for a variety of reasons, BUT you can send your own books in by becoming a CGC member for just $25 a year, and then you’ll have access to all of the info including the status of your submissions and the grader notes on your books and the cost per book is the same!
It’s my 37th birthday on Sunday (37?!) and I’ve already gotten a Herschel Mandalorian bag, Behind the Attraction on Disney+, and Ted Lasso on Apple TV+!
