  1. I think my original question is being overlooked….other than the fact that ASM 194, 238, and 252 are on this submission and got 9.8’s (and that we may not agree with the grading on all of them), is there some evidence of impropriety that I’m missing. Is there evidence that it came from the same suspect? Or that it was a reholder submission? I have no connection to ComicLink or the submission, but it seems like there should be some non-circumstantial evidence of impropriety before we call out an auction house for not removing the listing?? I agree that shining light on this issue is in the community’s best interest, but we have to remember that while channeling Hercule Poirot is good….channeling Cotton Mather not so much.
  2. I did look at the linked scans, and they all appeared normal to me, which is why I asked if I was missing something. The small bindery tear/scuff in the bottom left corner of the 238, on an otherwise pretty spotless book, seems in tolerance for a 9.8. In my opinion.
  3. Why exactly should this submission be viewed as suspicious? Is it just because it has an ASM 194, 238, and 252 that got 9.8’s? Or am I missing something?
