That makes no sense. Very early original CGC labels were universally known to have some of the tightest grades out there, so by your logic CBCS should have the tightest grades in the industry? Case in point, so few old label CGC's exist now as most have been cracked open and resubmitted for higher grades. The actual reason CGC sells for more is they have been around a lot longer and have better brand recognition, they are the 100 pound gorilla in the market. Like Microsoft windows operating systems vs. some upstart like linux. Even though the new guy has a great product, its not what many people know, although that may improve over time as CBCS seems like a good service that has good consistency with their grading, but they are still really small in comparison and need a longer track record (and better pricing to get more market share). I hate that they basically copied CGC's pricing model, seems like being a newer service, that is where they could have made much more headway instead of gouging quite as much on the higher dollar books in the exact same tier level system and virtually the same cost as CGC; the much bigger and far longer time established company that typically yields higher returns and yet is essentially the same cost as the much smaller start up competitor.

He bought a $1K major key with a fast payment! Great board member to deal with! A+

I have not met him, is that your dad? I know narcissists like you often have daddy issues. How many times have you been banned for posting uneducated and ignorant comments while attacking people? With a whopping 2 days with this new account and a great name like Dolt that matches your intellect, I would bet there have been quite a few! Enjoy your next few days on this account until they figure out which banned dead beat flamer you are and close this account down also!

No an apologist is someone ignorant like you that ignores the facts and makes up excuses for why significant grading or label mistakes and zero customer service are perfectly fine. Also I think you made your point to your low IQ level with your spelling of moreon. I think your name and the fact you have been here for 2 days shows you knowledge level and or the fact that you are a flamer that keeps getting banned after making ignorant comments!

Love to hear from the CGC apologists, but the book was the same after as before, I will take the blame for not catching the microchip before cracking it open, I fully admit I should not have cracked it open had I caught it, I would have been more OK with the prior 8.5, but did not expect to get hit another 2 grade levels given how nice the rest of the book was with the resubmit of the same book. Just got slammed by a different grader which is quite common in both directions if you ask around and my point is be careful cracking open any book, you are taking a big risk in re-grading and getting even the same grade it was given prior. I had a pre-screen grade attached to the book to ensure 8.5, but somehow it got mixed up with another Av 55 book as I sent in several Av 55's at once and I might of had them out of order or something. know there is nothing I can do with that one, no big deal and my stupidity for cracking it open to begin with although yes I was unhappy they would drop it 2 full grades (undeservedly) with the original label included. I knew this issue was not going anywhere with CGC based on their policy and thus this was not even one of the issues I even requested help/credit with in my follow up, just my bad luck and shared as food for thought as icing on the cake to a really bad submission experience! All I really requested was a another resubmit for a green label as was requested and deserved and an accurate label on the very expensive resto book and they totally blew it on and this is how I took their response...we don't care about customer service, we grade how we want to grade and you are stuck with the results good or bad, right or wrong, so go pound sand. That's not a good long term strategy for continued loyal customers, or in keeping a good long term reputation in my opinion, but if they are so busy that they can't even handle the volume they have (for now), I guess I understand it even though it seems extremely short sighted. For long timers, none of this should be a shock, for others with fewer personal experiences like this, just food for thought.

I had overlooked a micro chip on the back top cover edge the first time on the AV 55 that was a bit more obvious after I broke it out from the slab, so I then understood why it did not originally get a 9.2 like the front cover looked like, so honestly I was just expecting the same 8.5 grade the second time around. However someone much tighter having a really bad day really slammed the defect much harder the second time around. Just shows it makes a big difference who you catch on a given day. Consistency suffers with so many graders and no set/advertised grading standards. Believe it or not, I have heard of far bigger gaps on re-submitted books over the years, but this is the biggest I have experienced first hand. On #2, I was told here on the boards that missing centerfolds were almost always green label (especially on otherwise really nice GA books like this one), and if I made sure to request that I for sure wanted a green label that it should be taken care of with no issues. But in this case I guess they don't really care about consistency in grading things the same way, following customer requests to make sure they know I don't want them to go outside the norm for a blue label .5 or any follow up to customer service to make their long time customers happy. On unmentioned #3, both other grading companies said they would have given the full apparent grade on the heavily restored book, however I was not even asking CGC to go back and do that, as I knew they said it was fully their call and I can live with that. I only requested that they give me an accurate label that said more than 1/2 the front cover was original as I had proven to them and had expected their "crack team" of restoration experts to easily detect! However they could care less that they screwed up the accuracy of the label note and had no interest in fixing it for me. Honestly, I was probably going to send it into CBCS anyway for a full apparent grade, but this was just further proof to me that CGC has no desire to make things right/fix their errors and zero customer service skills to make customers happy when they get things wrong. Don't get me wrong, they still provide a good service overall and with so much quantity going in and out, I know they are bound to miss some things, but with as much as they get things wrong and don't care about fixing anything ever, it sure makes you wonder who is managing things so poorly over there! Maybe they are just so busy they don't care as much about repeat business and would prefer to slow down the submissions?

FF 52 per PM.

Yes, he took both books.

First wins the prize, but I also accept PM. No returns on CGC books, raw books are can be returned without question, I accept paypal, venmo or money order/check. I have been selling huge mega keys on the boards for years. USPS boxed Shipping is a flat $10 no matter how many books you buy, Canadian shipping will be actual shipping costs.

All purchases above $300 are also given optional payment terms up to 2 months (with a 10% or more deposit) to help you out with timing of funds, getting your next paycheck/stimulus check first etc. Copy #1 is CGC 3.5 with O.White Pgs, very nice spine and edges, looks like a 4.0 to 4.5 had someone spent 2 minutes dry erasing typical smudges on the back cover. As it is 3.5 GPA is $697 with the last sale $790 and setting records across the board for 90 day and most recent sale prices since Sony just announced a Kraven the Hunter movie, the most recent record setting sales prices probably are just the beginning of a huge uptick. Board Price $745, about 1/2 price of anything similar offered on ebay right now! Copy #2 CGC .5 solid lower grade, front and back shows well for a lower Gd range, but is missing 2 ad pages only 12 and 16, not missing a single story page! Last GPA sale in this grade $300. Board Price $295

I am very tempted to resubmit this as it looks far nicer than many 9.0 and even some 9.2 CGC books I have seen, but I am a bit risk adverse by nature, so I thought I would offer it to anyone on the boards that likes to take CPR chances, because this is a great cost/benefit risk book! While the 8.5 GPA is $549, the 9.0 GPA is $919 and the 9.2 GPA is $1,814, that sounds like its a great risk for re-submitting! Overall, I think this book is already undervalued and way overlooked as it is only the 2nd ever Captain America book in the Avengers line and only missed out on his 2nd overall appearance by 1 week (came out same month as FF 25, practically a tie!) You don't find these books in this high of investment grades very often and this one shows amazingly well! If this book does not sell fast, I will probably put it in the stack of books I am already getting to send into CGC next month.

Based on my recent experiences, I wonder if CBCS was more consistent in their grading at 6.0 and no that 4.0 on a 2.0+/- range book does not surprise me at all based on what I have seen. CGC has so many graders, the grades are widely different depending on who is grading. I just re-sent CGC an Avengers 55 8.5 that I had hoped would get a 9.0 after pressing, sent the original label and everything stating that if it did not get at least the same grade, leave it raw and send it back with the label. Guess what, they graded it a 6.5 and did not even send me back my original 8.5 label. That is a full 2 grades lower than the first grading with the label included with the book and request it not be graded if not at least the same grade as prior. I have seen the reverse as well with 8.0 range looking books getting 9.0/9.2 grades. I also requested a green label for a valuable golden age book missing the centerfold and it came back blue label .5 even though I requested green label only. Same batch of books had a high dollar pro resto book from a store remainder copy(missing top 1/3rd strip) that had the top professionally recreated and a ton of color touch on the rest as it was in bad shape. They did a horrible rush job grading and verifying the original paper and gave it a .5 and said the full front cover was recreated even though I later sent them scans showing the majority of the cover was original and should have gotten an apparent grade despite the extensive color touch. Their grading notes did say a very small amount of front cover was original, but the CGC label said the full front cover was reproduced thus with no grade given even though approx 2/3rd the front cover was actually original! (False/incorrect grading!) Guess how their wonderful customer service treated me with these 3 issues? Too bad, we grade how we grade and we will not regrade anything or give you any credit for these issues towards re-submitting. Worst customer service I have ever experienced and at this point I don't like their consistency, serious errors made, lack of following requests for green vs. blue label and will never trust them for grading anything extensively restored ever again. If they had decent customer service and fixed their errors it would be one thing, but they don't even do that and have pathetic customer service. Has anyone else had more issues with their grading errors and customer service this year than in the past? I have had some mostly good experiences with only a few minor issues before, but this seems to be a particularly bad year for grading and customer service issues from what I have experienced/seen.

All FF Books Sold , New Books Added!

Must have forgot to put it in. It's now updated and an amazing looking copy at that price (around the lowly 2.5 price). Usually pro resto alone will cost more than the price offered! Let me know.

Siamese pages noted, this is an ultra rare printing defect like one in a million, making this on of the rarest ultra high grade pedigree variant comics in the world! If this were a coin with that rare of a defect it would sell for over $1 million dollars, something that should also get recognized in the comic industry for the ultra rare scarcity, much like double covers (but far more rare) that should also get much greater due! The last non pedigree 9.6 sold for $780 and the far less desired lower grade 9.4 John Fantucchio pedigree just sold for $525 to indicate the market value of this far more rare higher grade should be many multiples of either of those, but I will offer this at just $699, well below the last non pedigree 9.6 sale from even before the Blue Beetle movie rumors (and this book is only going up from here!)

Superman #4 CGC 1.5 near perfect Off White Pages! 2nd Lex Luthor from 1940 at the very dawn of the Golden Age! Just the 4th solo book devoted solely to Superman! Book looks great for grade, I would say it shows GD+ 2.5ish but has a spine split neatly re-attached with tape on the interior. For GPA comparison a 2.5 just sold for $1,800, a 1.8 for $1,000 and even an incomplete poor .5 just sold for almost $600! No comparison sales in 1.5 for 7 years (Book is Scarce!), but a 1.0 did sell for $928 in July 2017!

Fast payment on Avengers 55 NM Key. Great transaction!

JUST ADDED ALL NEW KEY AND SOME VERY RARE ULTRA HIGH GRADE BOOKS!

3.5, but possibly 4.0 if you can get some help with the back cover.

Hard to get above 5.5 even on a good day with the size of that lower right crease, but it still presents nicely!
