You can guess why I'm giving this an AAA....

 

Because the man only has one nipple?

Sorry Jon, I'm not buying that potential excuse or explanation.

Even if what you say is correct, then...

1. Revise the encapsulation process.

2. How come a totally brittle cover was not factored into the grade?

I honestly believe that any slab should be viewed as a Schroedinger's cat scenario.

Or to paraphrase Forrest Hump...

'A slab is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna git'.

I don't say this lightly. Years ago when I bought SA I stopped cracking because of the stuff I found within.

I understand humans make mistakes, but this slabbing business has to be laid on trust, and personally I don't have any confidence in any slab I crack.

It's a complete lottery.

To be blunt, the graders...or a proportion of them couldn't grade a Sandwich.

Sad, alarming...but true IMHO.

Did the graders notes give any indication of a partial spine split?

Thrilling Crime Case #47 LB Cole cover Star Publications. Shame about the stain on this one, as it is a screamer of a book. 

Mr. F, you are certainly on a crime spree.

Half the books I'm following still don't have images.

Very sorry to hear this. RIP Ed Jaster.

Am I the only one who finds an alarming amount of their current scans to be extremely dark?

Tuesday's haul of C&P.  To say I was pleased when I opened these would be an understatement.  I bought them all as VG, personally think they're slightly better.

Nice books! They certainly present better than VG!

My thoughts are with Jimbo, his family and friends.
