The missed CT is what is head-scratching. I know CBCS doesn’t have the greatest rep here on the boards, but I just have a really hard time believing they would’ve missed the CT in the “checkerboard” above the second “E” in Detective, or the CT just under Batgirls left foot. Blowing the scan up, it looks like there may be some more black CT in the checkerboard (not 100% conclusive). Something is off/fishy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of that Detective sure looks trimmed to me. I’ll ask him about it as well. See my post above re: CT. They shouldn’t miss a trim, but that has happened. A CT (and a tear seal) are rookie calls with no acceptable excuse. Edited July 30, 2019 by chrisco37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make any sense, as your eye is immediately drawn to it. What am I missing?

Sal Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 even if it's not CT - which i doubt because of how bad it looks - how is it not factoring into the grade? odd book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s CT. Search images for the book. You don’t see it. My copy certainly doesn’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, CBCS missing CT is the same but if the Restored copy sold first, the buyer really made a ton of money. If the the universal sold first, then that buyer lost a lot of money.

telerites Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Outside of the CBCS ineptness, it is sad that this book will be most likely sold again and continue to circulate - just like passing counterfeit money. If the owner just happens to see this thread or discovers he has stinker, up it goes to be bought by another unsuspecting buyer. At least the sale doesn't go into GPA.

BlowUpTheMoon Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The CGC version was graded: Grade Date: 04/16/2019 The Voldy version has a serial number of 18-2124777-001 Can we assume the leading "18" means it was graded in 2018? I really don't follow Voldy or their number scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
