Bought a raw "unrestored" comic from a boardie and it's come back Qualified 1 1

[greggy]

As expected, the CGC grade was lower than advertised cuz that seller can't grade properly.

You're probably right.  I guess I chose that one because I knew there would be a lot of Qs

Here's a better one, and closer to what I have:

TOS 9.0 sold for $1545 in 2015

TOS 9.2 Q (married cover) sold for $343 last year.

I was fine with his grade.  It's a beautiful comic.  Remember CGC is grading pretty tight these days.

In the first post of his thread, the seller vaguely states, " Feel free to return the book after of receipt. "

In my opinion, he just assigns the grades as they were sold to him.  I got a lot purchase from him, and the mylars were from all over with stickers, some with grades on them, and receipts stuffed in.   I think he purchased a lot of his stuff from the old mail order from a catalog days.  If you look at the scans, you can usually see the grades are off.

But you're right - he doesn't know how to grade by today's standards.

I hate lazy dealers who assign the same grades that they purchased them at even though it's recent.

Especially on stuff that you know is way off.  

I can guarantee if the seller undergraded, they won't be using that grade.

Oh yeah, to save people time and for the search impaired, it's AtlasFan.

You'll only pretty well see him in the sales forum.

Based on his grading, I suspect he is not very good at detecting resto either.  I think most of his books were purchased years ago and he simply owned it married all these years.

Just so everyone knows.... I sent in one other raw book from the same seller.  A TOS 36 that he graded as a 8.0-8.5 when I bought it.  It came back from CGC as an 8.5.  So I was very happy with that one.

Do you really think he's a dealer?  From what I got he is just a fan selling his collection off.

Many people here use the last guy who sold it to them's name and grade, which to me, often indicates they don't agree with it.

Lots of guys like that on here.  Also some BSDs, who also can't grade, and can't be arsed to even take the books out the bags.

How nice to see my name mentioned in the same breath as COMIC-KEYS... lets throw in Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer as well.

If anyone who has a problem with one of my books, feel free to contact me directly.

I have not been on the boards for a while, but I reckon the last post mentioning my name triggered some email notification.

Good Lord..what a bunch of old ladies clucking away... is this the most interesting thing you guys have to discuss?

The OP stated in his first post he did contact you but received no reply.  In so far as you not being on the boards, well you may not have posted in a bit but have certainly been actively logged in(it is displayed on profile) with your account.  One would presume you would have seen his message.

Altlas Fan,

 

You my not remember this but back when we were kids, 1977 I think, I traded two packs of bubble yum (no spider eggs) with you for a Hulk 181, haven't looked at it since, but you failed to mention the MVS is missing. Just got it back from CGC.
