  1. I was thinking the same thing. It occurred to me that since CGC has them listed separately on the census that someone there might know. But then based on the GCD info I figured that anyone submitting this book for grading could probably pick either publisher on the submission form and be correct.

    Which also means that if someone wanted to, they could crack and resubmit a higher than 5.0 graded Dell copy and call it a K.K.copy and bam! instant highest graded copy (assuming it gets the same grade)

    Honestly I feel that if I were to sell the 5.0 copy here on the boards and tried to call it a highest graded copy without knowing the difference, it would get called out as BS. I'm not saying Comiclink did anything wrong by listing it that way and again I don't care. But people here are smart and would certainly question it.

     

  2. So after a few beers I decided to bid on (and win) this Camp Comics #2 - 5.0 from Comiclink :banana:. I had not even noticed that it was listed as the highest graded copy until later, and It's not really important to me anyway.

          Today I was looking at my Email from Heritage showing me my watch list and I saw this 9.4 on my list. My first reaction was "how can this be?" But after checking the census and looking a little closer I realized that one

    is published by Dell and one by K.K.publications both on 3/42. Both are listed separately in the census so I guess technically the 5.0 being the highest graded is true. I found another raw copy previously sold on Heritage as a K.K. copy

    and see that both the Dell and K.K. published books have the same back cover and it seems they both have the same content according to the listing descriptions.

    Can anyone tell me the difference?(shrug)  I did find some info here about K.K. Publishing and Dell https://www.comics.org/publisher/286/

    It's still not clear though and I figured one of the very knowledgeable boardies might have an answer for me . Hopefully I'll learn something today.

    Thanks

    I would think if you already filled out the online sub form that would guarantee you’ll get service...? As long as you show up Friday

    I had to call customer service about something else so I asked about this. They said you're not guaranteed to get your books graded at the show if you filled out the form online. Gotta get there early!:ohnoez:
