Tsp99 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) The 6.0? Colors and paper are nice but I don't see the grade going up with those old tape stains on the back cover. If you're referring to the 2.5, it has already been "improved." Used to be a 1.5. Edited October 16, 2017 by Tsp99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a blown bottom staple also. Nice eye appeal and PQ though. SC22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmjr1 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) No complete copy of Tec 27 can be had now for less than 250k now. Raw, restored, whatever. Think I'm wrong? Find one for less. Not happening. Edit: I think a blue label 1.0 fetches 250k now, as does a lower grade (say 3.0)extensively restored copy. New jumping on point for the book is 250k any way you slice it.

And page quality is another big factor. Brittle will always go for much less. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 49 minutes ago, Chicago Boy said: I was under the impression that it was the exact opposite No - here's an extract from their 2013 press release (you can read the whole thing here): Currently, CGC’s stance on tape allows for its presence to fix a detached cover, a tear or to re-attach a piece of the comic. This would still allow the book to receive a Universal Label and even a possible grade increase from what the book would have been had tape not been present. After consideration of the expressed views of the community and assessment of the practice, beginning with submissions postmarked after May 3, 2013, CGC will modify its grading standard and ignore the presence of tape if it serves a function (such as fixing a tear or spine split) and instead grade the book as if it was not present. Therefore, any existing defect will be graded accordingly. If the tape does not serve a function, the tape will be treated as a defect and the book will be downgraded. By doing this, books will still receive a Universal Label but the grade will better reflect the actual condition of the comic book. In other words, that's not a 2.5 by the current rules. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the motivation for the rules change was to keep people from taping up GA books (especially keys) to increase the books' grades. We were in the ironic situation that someone who used scotch tape on a book -- thereby damaging it -- could get a grade increase and remain in a blue label, while someone who used archival tape so as not to damage the book would be rewarded with a PLOD (although now, I guess, the book would end up in a Conserved slab).
