HotKey Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I know sellers tend to round up on grades but CMON MAN. Or maybe I can sell this guy some of my 5.0s as 9.4's? Lmao Misgrading by this much should almost be a crime. I feel sorry for some new collector who buys it. Anyone seen worse? Any 3/4.0s presented as 9s?

Ken Aldred Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) It’s a beaut. So minty fresh. The cover gloss is incredible. Straight off a 70s newsstand. Takes me back. Edited January 9, 2021 by Ken Aldred littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Marwood & I Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It's annoying isn't it, when you see sellers trying to pass 8.5's off as NM Ken Aldred and littledoom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 There is also the possibility that, like Mile High, the seller is using a stock image of the book and has forgotten to change it to show the actual 9.4 copy, which might look fantastic and satisfy even the most obsessive-compulsive amongst us. icefires, silversurfer275 and jason4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had occurred to me, but showing a gif of a cat actually coughing one up seemed a bit unnecessary to me, natural though it may be.

Whenever there’s disagreement there’s also the chance of the authority figure card being played; ‘your grading clearly far exceeds that of Overstreet’.

1950's war comics Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 the seller should have put that Cat #1 comic next to a mint plant and then it wouldn't be false advertising (like the example below) Ken Aldred, littledoom, Toz and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
