the blob Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Yes, they're beautiful, but apparently these books are second fiddle to a really nice marvel special edition 15 or a VF marvel spotlight 5..

Well, as I had alluded to in a couple of my previous posts above, given that CGC assigned a grade of 9.8 to this particular copy of All-Select 3, I don't think it would have qualified for one of those CVA or QES stickers.

People roll the dice and submit a batch of fifty books and are happy when, what, maybe five come back as 9.8's? No way those moderns that come back as inferior 9.6's aren't structurally superior to their golden-age equivalents! And by equivalent I mean books with matching numbers in the corner. There shouldn't be separate standards for books from different eras. That's why you set standards, so that they can be applied even-handedly. Didn't I read somewhere that Heritage owns a stake in CGC or something to that effect? I could be misremembering it. Consistent grading is the biggest oxymoron in our hobby.

Besides the dust shadow there are other defects which visually should keep it below that grade. If we cover up the flip, what grade would it get? 8.5-9.0??
