Looks like Heritage has forgotten how to grade 1 1

[William-James88]

This is being sold as a 2.5 by heritage and yet the same defect described will get a 0.5 from CGC (proof can be seen below). Their own site says they wouldn't give more than a 1.0 to a comic with a coupon cut.

"Captain Marvel Adventures #18 (Fawcett Publications, 1942) Condition: GD+. Origin and first appearances of Mary Marvel and the Marvel Family. Classic painted cover by C. C. Beck. Art by Beck and Mac Raboy. Cream to off-white pages. Tape on interior of front cover. Fawcett Comix Cards clipped from back cover. Overstreet 2020 GD 2.0 value = $811."

Here is how CGC would grade such a comic:

Lol, the lot was withdrawn. I wonder why? If any Heritage rep is reading this, learn to grade, this is embarrassing.

Were they thinking that perhaps it would come back with a qualified label at 2.5?

Could be, but that's not how selling raw comics works. No one but CGC can tell you what the CGC grade will be. And plus, CGC would still give this a universal grade by default.

I am thinking this was just  a mistake on their part.

Does every mistake at Heritage need a thread?
