So, a few things....when this change of label affects the grade, it further complicates the grading criteria of all books, which should be consistent. How do we determine the 'penalty' from what the grade is other than guessing maybe the book is a 8.5?
Let's say I have a regular unsigned different comic that's a 6.5, compare it to that Maxx 6.5 and wonder why the grades/conditions don't match up.
Second point, the seller is clearly miss-representing buyers by stating this is the highest graded, which is totally false. If this was a Maxx Black that wasn't signed by Keith, it would be a blue label.
I don't see the label change all that much on other books, maybe once before. It seems common on MAXX Ashcans and I have three of them which I'm sending back to be green labels. I purchased them as blue labels and tbey don't fit the rest of my set as blue labels.
It would be pretty hard to compare another 6.5 book to a MAXX ashcan 6.5 book. The Ashcans are pretty different from regular comics... from the cover, interior pages etc.
Yes, the seller is misrepresenting the book.
