Hulk213 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I came across this comic book on Heritage. It's graded as 9.8. I know very little about grading but that cover does not look like a 9.8 cover. Any thoughts on why it was graded so high? Thank you. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Don't know anything about that book... all I can see what looks like a nick, and the uneven cut. Both could have been production problems. Dunno. EDIT: Well, here's one that sold on eBay... Bad cut... BUT no nick. FWIW.

evolpe79 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I had a Web of Spiderman with two white dots that looked like nicks. Apparently it was 2 spots where ink was never laid down on the page. Technically, it wasn't a flaw so it didn't affect the grade. I returned the book as I wanted a better looking copy of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk213 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I’m just questioning the 9.8 grade by CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolpe79 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 What I'm saying is it must not really be a nick. The paper is likely smooth but no ink was laid down. It's likely not a handling defect but a production defect which they don't count against the grade. I still wouldn't buy the book and I'd choose a different one to buy.

Hulk213 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I’m not buying it. I was wondering about the grade for that particular book. It’s off center, and just doesn’t look like a 9.8 worth grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
