We can't help this person.

No help required.

Lol, the whole basis of value of a grading company is to provide a meaningful grade that accurately describes the books condition, based on their own standards. When their opinion clearly counters all their own past examples, something is wrong, and the value of the opinions is damaged. Seems pretty basic to me.

One 9.8 graded comic ≠ another 9.8 graded comic.

You clearly don't understand grading, why CGC exists, and are unwilling to accept what everyone is telling you.

Special thanks to Comicquant, namisgr, and any others I may have missed, who quickly deduced it was a labeling error and not a magic grade.

You need more help than we can offer. That much is evident.

Guns a blazin'. Spreading misinformation. Taking shots at other people despite being uninformed. Lurking would have done you well.

No I just don't accept what you're saying. I fully accept what the other people said about it falling below the established standard of a CGC 9.8 and being mislabeled or misgraded.

What I'm telling you is the truth - regardless of your ability to "accept" it. 1 piece of anecdotal evidence may reinforce your delusion - but everything I've told you is factual.

There are no "universal" anythings in subjectivity.

Amen.   That is why I still haven't submitted anything to CGC since the 1990's.    I realized I have eyes.   I use them just like any other CGC grader. 

I thought CGC started up in 2000?

You are probably right.  I live close to ground zero, and they were at a small show in Tampa at the time.  Probably was about 2000.  I submitted like 4 books.   I tried them out.  2 came back with grades, and 2 came back with no encasing, no grades, no explanation.  I wound up sending them an email, inquiring why 2 out of 4 books were graded.  They told me to send the other two back, and they graded them.  Sounds like saner times have prevailed.
