    slabbed pulps at new york comic con

    My guess is their standards will be stricter than Heritage and traditional pulp grading schemes (G/VG/Fine/only upper crust VF).  There sure ain't gonna be a bunch of nine pluses floating around.

    VF are very rare at Heritage . Never seen 9s ( maybe one ) . Based on what do you think CGC will be stricter ? So far based on their sample , it is graded same as Heritage .

    At a quick glance that 5.0 looks pretty nice. Looks like I will have my hands full re-grading my pulp collection soon…

    Not sure . You can't tell from that far away . I see a lot of wear on the spine and the bottom corner , who knows what else we can't see .
    But I share your concern . Hopefully they grade as per Heritage standards as I got most of mine from there .

    Edit : I took a snapshot and enlarged it . There is some kind of stain or color rub or creasing on the top right . Lots of wear on the spine . I am thinking it is graded fairly for a pulp ./

    Heritage Auctions international shipping

    Anyone know how Heritage Auctions calculates shipping ?

    They charged me $195 usd to ship to Canada for 4 slabbed comic books . 

    I have asked them many times how they arrive at these numbers and I never get an answer . 
    It is like pulling teeth getting an answer on this which makes me think the shipping department just
    slaps whatever they want on it .

     

    cgc case quality

    I hope this is not taken the wrong way but is there any plans to upgrade the CGC cases ?

    To improve the newton rings , waviness etc . I can live with newton rings . But the waviness I see in the comics is a concern .
    Almost all the books I have bought , they don't lie completely flat and I can see that the inner mylar itself is wavy . And I have asked other
    comic book buyers and they tell me the same thing . If you could get a better case , you would be rock solid .
