  1. This guy is hilariously bad. He has an AF #15 that looks like it's been put through a ringer then brought back from the brink with scissors, crayola markers and a lot of glue. "FN/VF 7.0" indeed.

    If you lifted that comic by one side of the cover, it would rip in half.

     

    :roflmao:

     

    How does this guy have 100% feedback? He must throw everything against the wall and just give away the farm when(not if) one doesn't stick(I know, I'm mixing metaphors).

     

    Are people really this gullible???

  2. I have an Iron Man #55 that looks VF-ish, but also looks like it was mis-folded at the factory. There's no roll, just a mis-aligned fold on the spine that causes the back side of the entire comic to show about 1/4" under the front of the book(and the front part of the comic pages shows 1/4" at the top). I've seen CGC 9.6's with similar factory mis-folds(maybe 1/8 of an inch) but is there a point where you should grade down for this? Is 1/4" too much to stay in the VF grade?
    My understanding is CGC grades on the physical or structural quality of a book, so a mis-wrap wouldn't be a knock on the grade.

     

    Thanks! It's a great looking copy other than the mis-wrap. And as Thanos becomes a bigger part of the MCU, it's sure to go up and up. I'll probably slab it soon. :headbang:
