Beautiful copy of Avengers 59 9.6 WP front back and inside looks like it came right from the press. Paul

The good, the bad and the ugly. Bad guys are supposed to be ugly. I'm a bad guy.

Thanks BlowUpTheMoon, Been there done that. I've had some replies to the post and looks like there is a lot to read on PGX. Cheers, Colugo

Not exactly a "noobie" been around the block for some time. Used to be a member a while back with older account. I asked because when I searched for PGX after typing it into the search field results came up 0. results: There are no results for your query. Please try a broader range of search criteria. Also tried different search criterias but to no avail. Colugo

It's a UMAX

Is there a thread specifically on PGX you can direct me to? Thanks, Colugo

OK you got my curiosity, is there something I don't know about PGX that I should?() Colugo

Actually I'm quite calm. I will take your advise and I'm concidering re-submission but as I stated earlier, I would rather not due to the chances of the book becoming damaged in the process through multiple trips through the US postal service. What I would like to do is bring it to a show and have them look at it there so it can avoid the postal process. Do they encapsulate at the shows? or do they grade it there and take it back to Sarasota,Fl? Colugo

I'm just curious about CGC's grading and the inconsistencies I have seen here and there, especially the obvious ones, like a few of the links I have posted demonstrating high grades with obvious signs of wear, did they really deserve that grade and if they did, what about the one I submitted that shows less wear? Should it grade higher? Grading of comics is very subjective but when it's this obvious it makes one wonder on grading accuracies, and, well maybe mine wasn't graded accurately. What's wrong with that? I'm sure most people who get their comics are sometimes puzzled from the grades their books recieved, just because collectors don't work for CGC doesn't make them bad graders.

Hi colugo! I’m not sure why you say there were no notes taken on this book (weather that’s your error or ours), but we do have notes on it. The 2 things the pre-grader specified were that there are some indents on the front cover by the Black Panther’s head, and there are a couple of lite spine stresses on the back cover. I hope that helps you out! My apologies on that, yes there were notes from that batch which I got confused from the the last batch, were there wasn't notes taken. My fault and sorry about the mix up. Anyway the marks by the Panthers head were produced mechanically during the production of the comic, I have several other books that show the same track marks on the very minor markings. I'll see about trying to get some examples so you can see for your comparison. Colugo I also wanted to state on this board since I'm a member of the community, that you really can't blame me for being upset, and confused, as I see books come out of CGC with similiar grades and some of those books are obviously in poorer condition. Most people are gonna feel that way to. I just don't get the inconsistencies of CGC on some of the grading. How does the Avengers 78 get a 9.6 that's currently posted on Comiclink get that grade? I have many .jpg examples showing 9.8's with obvious wear to the cover and that always brings me to ask how did those ones get that grade? I've been told by CGC that "We don't know what the people do with books after they have been graded?" I just don't see people playing frisbee with their highly graded encapsulated CGC'd comics I would say the majority of these older much more expensive books are being stored in optimal conditions with very little disturbance. Link showing wear on cover of Avengers 78 on CL: Avengers 78 There have been many other example as well, here's another one of the Avengers: Avengers 93 X-men with scuffing around the edges and soft corners even with the new corner well in the CGC casing: X-Men 58 Here's a link to the copy I have: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3285121&fpart=3 Sorry if I stirred the hornets nest, CGC probably hates me now, and I have to go to PGX to get my books graded. Take care, Colugo

A very nice acquisition and one of the nicest drawn covers of the older FF series.

Back cover slight thumb crease or barely visable bend or crease, faint...back cover? If it's a white back cover they can be even more difficult to see, you've got to hold them flat to the light to see it. Front looks good, I'm betting whatever the problem is, it's on the back cover. Possible slight bend? [/img] very very hard to tell. Beautiful book regardless No, there is no bend. This copy is amazingly flat and no creases, you just have to take my word for it.

No, there is no bend. This copy is amazingly flat or creases, you just have to take my word for it.

Back cover has no tics, crease, or bends. This book is as new as the day it was put on the rack.
