Once you get into the weeds and start analyzing books closely, it's different and that level of detail is not comprehensively published by CGC. Only CGC employees know those details. You can get a glimmer of it from grader's notes but that's about it. Agreed 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Be interesting to know about all these 9.8 moderns and how they will hold up over the course of say, the next 30 years. Will today's 9.8 be tomorrow's 9.8? Honestly doubt it. You see the paper quality these days? Covers are literally going to fall in half. Can't wait to get my sub back so I can inspect closely those spines I subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalPSI Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Guess I'm stuck at where moderns are. I also still think 1990 was 10 years ago So, what books were worth stabbing in 2000? Does anyone know what the pag quality was back then? Having collected in the 90s, the only difference I noticed in page quality was when Marvel moved from newsstand to direct. And MCP.

Love this book. Thanks for sharing! Would be great if they could work him into the MCU somehow. But ANYTHING is possible in the Marvel worlds so who knows..

Popular Post mcribar Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 My first choice is my Superman #6 in 3.5. It shows much better than that (4.5-5.0) but since it was slabbed by the "other company" I shall not post it here. So I present my second favorite slabbed book Human Torch #19. I'm a huge fan of Schomburg covers. Alas, this is the only one I currently have. But it's a keeper for me!
