The Rupp package will pretty much gag anyone sir

I like to think of me as mischieviously charming

Amazing, isn't it? Sold him a gorgeous DC Comics Presents 26 CGC 9.8 that was just fantasic looking. And I even included a little something extra. Supposedly the USPS never figured out what caused the fire. Usually when I ship high grade books to Paul, I always include one of these... which he promptly empties all over himself at the first sign of uncomfortable heat

Was that the actual truck on fire at Paul's house? Apologies, but never read the thread and hate to bring up bad memories. Geez thats awful.

True. How about, you cannot change the last person who was able to properly grade the book. Who determines that sir? Who determines who is the last person to do this? If all books were properly 3rd party graded then there would be no chance for any upgrades by cracking slabs would there? No chance. Grading is subjective. Not just by company or person... but by each time a book is handled and graded. Doesn't matter who grades it... or even how many times the same person grades it. But there is nothing subjective about the last person who was able to look at the inside of the front cover. I didnt mean that the grade was the proper grade, but that the last time the book was in a state (raw) that it could be fully examined it was done so by pgx OR CGC. I added a little on there sir... both companies employ human beings and both companies have been documented to make mistakes. You can't argue that too can you? I have personally experienced a situation with receiving a PGX Copper Age "beauty" as a birthday gift, cracking it out to submit to CGC, and discovering the "first printing" was really a second printing with water damage on the inside of the book. Then reading others going through the same situation - and hearing later about "Ryan the grader" bringing the encasement system home so he could grade the books through the night - I don't even put these two companies in the same class. CGC has made some mistakes before in mislabeling a printing that gets mentioned quickly on this forum when caught. But never do I hear stories of wrong covers being married together and then inserted into a case as unrestored examples or color-touched books being passed off as pure. And the PGX signature program is a joke. I think these points alone make a tremendous difference in comfort who I would trust when buying my books. I hear you sir. Not saying one is better than the other or anywhere near equal. Just saying that human beings make mistakes. A famous micro trimming issue comes to mind.

This could also be applied to any "post press" estimated grades and the sale of those books as well. When does it end?

The only thing any comic book "is" is a comic book. Doesn't matter if its in plastic, tin foil, petroleum jelly or peanut butter.

What happened to "buy the book, not the label"? I'm just glad that Bedrock gets it... buy the book, not the label. Especially if there's no label shown, advertised or supported. This picture of you will live on regardless

For Pete's sake... just google it.

Green... go read the book called "1984". Come back in the two years its going to take you to read it... then understand it... and we will discuss it then.
