I could be misremembering it. Consistent grading is the biggest oxymoron in our hobby. ---- GA grading has always been softer and Heritage owning CGC is nothing new. Not much difference than when any auction house grades books. I just wasn't as familiar with it being softer in 9.6 and 9.8 because i never see 1940s books like that.

I'm going to be the first to say it. That's a terrible name. God, it sounds like something you'd give to a collection of porcelain dolls.

Anyways, back to this beautiful Promise Collection although I certainly do wish there was more consistency to CGC's grading when it comes to how they view certain defects over an extended period of time. Interesting, I've never heard about this file copy before... Larryw7, Dr. Love, tth2 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think with a name like "The Promise Collection" there would have to be some romance in there somewhere. Who came up with that name? Sounds like a Zales Jewelers commercial?
