    It actually happened to me once..... Once. It was an Action 76, metro grade was 6.75 (that's what they listed it at) and the CGC grade came back a 7.0. But with any raw book it's what you can't see that will cause grade differences. Inside cover tanning, stains, loose staples, etc.

    I purchased an nice raw FF # 6 from them in 2012. It came back from CGC at the same grade. They are good graders!

  2. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kinstler by chance at the Hispanic Society of America Museum in January, 2016.  The museum is located in upper Manhattan.  I brought my daughter there to get extra credit in her Spanish class by viewing the Spanish art and writing a report on what she had observed.  I guess I was sort of berating my daughter to get in gear and start taking notes as we entered the main room.  There he was, Mr. Kinstler, laughing at me (I didn't know who he was at first).  Shame on me!! We started talking and it dawned upon me that he was a great artist. No less a great GA Comic book artist.  He told me that he had been attending that particular museum since the 1950's.  He directed me to a particular room to view an early 1900 Spanish panorama.  We did and my daughter wrote that report and passed the class!  Mr. Kinstler sent me a nice card and his book with a nice message.  A true gentleman!!

    At one point I had a spreadsheet when I was trying to keep track of Copper Keys, this is what I had on there. There's Valiant, Dark Horse and other publishers that you didn't mention, but at least this will give you an idea. It's by no means comprehensive as it was just a personal list, but there's plenty of great stuff from that era, so....
