Ugh I would love these but I’m saving for wondercon. If they’re still around after next weekend you’ll have my money for sure!

You’d think so, but they didn’t even put it in the grader notes. I’m half tempted to resubmit but at most I could hope for a .5 bump

Grade came back lower than I expected TBH. I thought this would be a 1.5, MAYBE a 1.8. @joeypost did an INCREDIBLE job on this, getting all the cover wrinkles out and doing a cleaning; it looks so much better. But I guess that corner chunk was too much to overcome.

I thought a few others had pointed out that sometimes the original image is being replaced once the book goes through the reholder process (Or if it’s a book that was originally stabbed more than 6 months ago, the reholder image is now the original image). Which means that image is worthless if it’s just a photo of the fake book you’re buying.

Right…. Because the ONLY issue, documented in almost 170 pages, is some IH 181s. Not other books at all? And of the many others that have been uncovered, we know for a fact that those are ALL of the affected books? like others have said, it’s your page so you do you, but you’re burying your head in the sand and doing others a huge disservice. These aren’t wild accusations. If you’d bother to take the time you can see actual, verifiable evidence. The lack of statement from CGC is glaring and disturbing. Until I know the extent of this, if we’ll ever know, I for one am probably not buying any CGC slabs. I’ve made 2 purchases since this went down and both have been slabs from distinguished competition. I’m just one person but I’m sure there are many others like me, and would be if they had the info that you’re trying to block.

Nah, no offense taken at all. I already have a 9.6 but maybe it’s an OCD thing but I want the best possible copy I can afford. It always rankles me a little bit knowing better copies exist that I could afford.

This. ASM 252 9.8 was on my “will eventually buy” list and right now I wouldn’t go anywhere near it. And it’s not just that book. I’m extremely cautious pulling the trigger on anything because the lack of response from CGC makes me question how deep all of this goes.

100% this. Looking up entire submissions via a cert # isn’t going to help any of us.

I thought this was going to be a 0.5, so I’m stoked with the grade I got

9.0 - 9.2

So I already 99% know the answer but just wanted more opinions on what the highest grade might be with this big chunk missing. One staple also detached at center. Also there’s a lot of cover wrinkling; assuming this was pressed (and can be pressed) to remove a lot of that, would that make any difference? Thanks for looking!

You’re counting Blip even though it’s not technically a comic? It’s a magazine. Are you looking for just the first appearance of a video game character in “comic” form regardless of the type of publication? Like if the first “comic” appearance of Sonic, for example, was in a strip from like Mad Magazine, would you count that?

My understanding is that it’s grader’s discretion to include it, and that it’s typically only used for older comics. Pre-1990s comics are where it’s needed, so yes most likely copper and older.
