Just got my first comic graded and it came back a 9.2

Dropped off a Daredevil #183 I'd had since I was a kid at my local shop in Portland last month and got the email yesterday. Has anyone else sent in a sentimental book and been nervous waiting for the grade?

I remember waiting on my beat-up Amazing Spider-Man #300 and just hoping it didn't come back a 7.

That 300 was the grail for sure, but I gotta push back on the grading obsession a little. I had a copy of Ultimate Fallout #4 that came back at a 9.6 and honestly, it sits in a box in my closet. Meanwhile, I can still read my raw copy of Hulk #181 that I picked up for fifty bucks at a con, corner ripped and all. The fun is in flipping through the pages, not just staring at a number in a slab. A 7 is a solid book, man, that thing still has life in it.
