It was an Action 76, metro grade was 6.75 (that's what they listed it at) and the CGC grade came back a 7.0. But with any raw book it's what you can't see that will cause grade differences. Inside cover tanning, stains, loose staples, etc. I purchased an nice raw FF # 6 from them in 2012. It came back from CGC at the same grade. They are good graders!

I purchased an early Hulk from them a few years ago and waited the customary 2 weeks for a shipping notification...and waited and waited. I finally called and was told that my book had already been marked to go to San Diego comiccon. They would ship it as soon as it returned to NY. Apparently my comics have more fun than me. Metropolis is the best in the business. So many good things to say about them . If not accurate in grading, for certain they are 100% consistent and never far off.Bullet proof packing . Restoration refund guarantee. Seemingly infinite selection. Heck, they even send out Christmas cards.The web site is rather dated. If it is not on Metropolis.com try comicconnect. I buy from them as often as the wallet allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a raw pedigree book from them, for which they included a COA. I'll be submitting to CGC in the next few days, so we'll see how it turns out. Well, the book got the pedigree notation, but CGC didn't agree with the grade assessment. Metro listed it as a raw VF/NM, came back CGC 7.5. I didn't care as much about the grade as I did about the cover and pedigree. Probably won't be able to get my initial investment out of it, but I don't really care.

snowman28 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Grading is spot on. Bought from Metropolis a CGC 9.4 Doctor Strange #169 received a CGC 9.4 Doctor Strange #169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilddave Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I bought a 9.8 Fantastic Four 118 around 2003, got it graded a few years ago, it came back a 9.6. Got a Strange Adventure 134 9.2, it graded 9.2. But you have to look at the scans, lots of overgraded stuff, you need to know how stress and color breaks impact grade, or you can get screwed. I've sent about as many books back after receipt as I've bought and kept. Bob Storms at highgradecomics.com is the most conservative grader out there, got a bunch of Adventures in the 360 about 5 years back and some Action at 9.4-9.6 that graded 9.6-9.8, best buy I ever had.
