Posting the Everett and Heath covers made me realize that two of my favorite Atlas horror books have Harry Anderson covers...

 

I like these two also!

[Jayman]

And this...classic!

The highest graded copy is a 7.5.  Do you think your’s is better?

Don’t know. It’s got that ding at the top and a bit of transfer stain in the logo. Not sure how CGC handles that...

[Jasonmorris1000000]

I’m waiting for mine to come back from CGC this week.  Mine got a 6.0!  I’m excited.

Ha! I was just looking at it upside down on my phone as you posted this!

Before you get mad at me, this tape pull was not my fault.

Is this your 6.0 copy?

Yeah.  That’s why I was thinking your’s might be a 7.5

For all the talk recently about CGC severely under grading books these days, this one does not feel like it was under graded, at least to me.

[Jayman]

Two more Anderson books...should we start a thread? 

[Jasonmorris1000000]

We also need that Anderson cover about the big green blob that came to dinner.  One of these days I’ll buy that one too.

Ha.  I wish.  Not too long ago they cross-graded a 9.8 CBCS book for me and found that it was a 9.6.  Has anyone ever got a comic cross-graded which got a higher grade by CGC?

I haven’t done any crossover grading myself but have seen many other people report on having done it, and only rarely do I recall that happening. 

On another related note, last year I did take some CGC-slabbed books to a con (they’d been graded by CGC a few years prior).  CGC itself cracked them out at the CGC booth, and had them signed by an artist.  (They were SA and BA books).  Then CGC graded them again.  Half came back the same grade.  Half came back one grade increment lower than before.

Oh no.  Just recently I had 6 9.8’s cracked open to be signed and regraded.  I’ve never done this before.  Hopefully I don’t live to regret it.
