Manhandled?

Treated like yesterday's newspaper???

Is it possible that my issue of Iron Man #55 was manhandled? Of course it is, but not by me and not by Jim Starlin. An amusing part of this story is that this was the first time that I double-boarded a book I wanted signed. It appears as though the extra precaution was for naught. When I turned the book over to CGC for onsite grading, my wife noticed that the person I handed it too seemed to handle it like a magazine being taken to the bathroom. I didn't see that, nor would I want to.

Onsite was closed early and quickly, even after opening it shortly the next day. That's a story too. I still paid the onsite grading price and they promised me I would have it graded within five days. They were true to their word.

As far as some of the grader's notes, one being "Right Bottom Cover Small Stain" is one that surprised me when I had it as a 9.2. I originally graded the book a 9.0. All the other notes look like a proper press might take care of them.

But, what bothers me is that this was initially graded by CGC as a 9.2, and that makes me wonder, as it was brought up in yesterday's journal, they may have got it wrong the first time. And if they were wrong the first time...how many more comic books out there will suffer a proper grading...and then, who is going to do it?

Thanks for Reading
