    Bingo. I predict the 9.9 rate will need to be bumped up to 3-5% from the current < 0.1% or no one will buy into the 9.9 pre-screen money grab.

    Matt walks by the grading floor "Let me see that GSX!" (flips through it) "Looks like a 9.9 to me." Do you dare disagree with the big dog as a mere peon?

    Honestly, I have seen better looking 9.4-9.6's.

    I only see 2 on the back, otherwise it's a beauty. A solid 9.4,

    9.4, make sure you press those creases on the back out.

    Grade Date 02/21/2000 That is crazy. There appears to be no consistency in grading, and silver age seems to get graded much more lenient.

    My last submission of 25 was peppered with: light bends to cover light creasing to cover light spine stress lines to cover but no finger bends. I think they just randomly pick their favorite bs notes from a dropdown list in their grading application. Everything was pressed and there were no creases/bends. I learned my lesson. Never submitting again without a prescreen.

    8.5 might be a stretch. You have a lot of spine ticks plus a corner crunch. I would put in the 7.0-7.5 zone, but sometimes you get a harsh grader. As for having similar experience, yup. This is easily in the 9's and they graded it 7,5 Unfortunately it's not worth the time/money to resubmit.

    Yeah I've been selling stuff on ebay for a few years and never could understand why shipping domestically cost more. If you don't mind me asking, what type of boxes do you use for shipping single slabs? Assume you use $25 flat rate boxes for Canada, but what do you pack US bound slabs in?

    Wondering how well they work. https://geminicomicsupply.com/products/graded-comic-book-mailers?variant=44362089693439
