Nicking me on grammer... I'm in a Multi National Fortune 20 firm, EQ not IQ is best path to success. Due to English being 2nd, 3rd or 4th language for many on our video conferences,  calling out bad grammer is actually a path to dismissal. Not to mention highly insulting in some cultures.

BTW; Hope you dont have same lack of tolerance, lack of diversity, and quick temper with your students. 

And I hope your "funny" responses in work emails are not as insulting and mean spirited as they are here.

Yes obvious the pics came from CGC which is precisely why i stated I was "Not a CGC or PSA supplied pic fan. They are always very bright to the point it obscures detail."

You first post mentioned "Help me understand and cope from this big time disappointment... " Do you feel better now? best of luck pre-screening your future submissions.

"Fan" is urban slang for adressing someone. Your sentence could have used "i'm" at the beginning to make your post clearer.

So you're helping me cope by pointing out how bad the comic is? I think I  missed the humor in all this?

Waiting for your grading notes. I'm sure others are too.

Larger pics: Front, Back

Not a CGC or PSA supplied pic fan. They are always very bright to the point it obscures detail.

I can see the reasons it's not a 9.8 and I'd be very very upset if I purchased the book in a 9.8 slab.  Book looks like a somewhat weak 9.6 from pics though not seeing why it's a 9.4 (yet)

The epitomy of comic book snobbery. I literally just posted the reason why I agree it's not a 9.8 and you have to come across like I never said it and still agree it's a 9.8.

That IS the cgc supplied pictures, so WRONG on that account too.

The most hilarious part is you can't name exactly why...so list the defects smart man...show off your grading prowess to the boards.

After some calming down I think I spotted where this 9.8 candidate was dropped down to 9.4.  I still am $^%&*$ off, but maybe more at myself...

I thought I had a good eye...and then you question was that there before you submitted...and then that leads you further down the rabbit hole....but lets play a game and see if you can spot it

7.0

6.0 here too

Just FYI, it seems 9.4 is the new 9.6/9.8....literally submitted perfect copies with no visible markings on the cover, great spines, cleaned and pressed, sharp corners...Looking at the scans, I'm still in awe about what exactly the graders saw...all 9.4's.  The notes say unavailable. I've taken a long break from submissions so this was my first submission of a modern book in good long while.  I normally collect golden age.

I compared these scans with other 9.8's on the big auction sites and my books literally look better.

When did the standards for modern books crank up to all time highs?  Is this with the hiring of new graders?  Help me understand and cope from this big time disappointment...
