ROBTOTHEC

Since I was the owner of the book when I sent it in, I paged through the entire book as well as the other 9 that I sent. I pre-graded what I thought they would be. Having said that I have been unbelievably accurate with about 40-50 that I have submitted to CGC. I had pretty big variances with the ones I sent to CBCS. In no way did I think this book was a 7.0 or close or I never would have submitted it. I had the same with a Batman #227 that I was sure was an 8.0. Even the CBCS rep that was at the convention when I submitted kept saying, "that's a really nice copy especially with the black cover." I asked him if he thought it was an 8.0 and he said I'm not supposed to say but I think you're pretty spot on. It came back 6.0!?? So yes, I think I am going to crack them open and send them to CGC. I've been much happier with them.

The notes say nothing about any interior tears or writing or anything else.

Right, that is why I said the Thor #165 looks like 8.5/9.0! Either way how can the same grading company call them both 7.0? This is what makes professional grading so frustrating and not accurate.

I bought the TOS #49 at Motor City last may. I get home and compare it to a Thor #165 i submitted myself that to me looked 8.5/9.0? Can anyone explain how these are both 7.0? Should I send one or both to CGC instead? I'm baffled and very disappointed. I bought the TOS #49 at Motor City Con last May. I get home There is nothing hidden. Back covers show just like front. No tears or creases, etc...

Very happy with this one!

I'm really happy with this book!! Much nicer than the 2.5/3.0 that I am upgrading too.

6.0 IMHO...

Looks like a 4.5 to me?

That's too nice of a book to grade below a Fine IMHO. I'm at 6.5!

Wish I could say this was an easy return but not so much. First of all I messaged the seller while the auction was live and said the book looked trimmed and could he guarantee there is no restoration. His response was: The Person I bought it from claimed they was sole owner and I haven't touched it since I received it and did my original reading and pictures for insurance and then again for this so if it was done, it was not done by my hands. I have seen a few touch up jobs and this doesn't look like one. But I am moving them out so no, I will not be taking returns as it says in my listings but as my feedback shows I try to list and show damage where I can. Usually on trim jobs they screw up and make too perfect or too uneven but this looks really close to the cuts of 6 and 8 so I don't think anyone as messed with it. Then when I got it and requested a return and sent him the pictures of the color touch and bleed through on the inside he said he will take it back but disagrees about the CT! HUH?? Finally got the refund today but with no acknowledgment or apology or anything like that. Disappointing...

ADDED THROUGH #105 and Still going!! https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?item=352118709163&_ssn=robtothec&_sop=1&rt=nc

It's going back for a refund. I don't have any desire for restored books. In his defense I have gotten some awesome books from him including Batmans in the 100's that were high grade and most of the books have gorgeous white pages. Very white!

I did realize it right away!! I'm trying to educate the seller on it. He has bought from me in the past. He's a good person just didn't know that much about the resto.
