    Let's start today off right ... with Comics For Men!

    1993 Japanese Manga "Comics For Men" - very fine + - $15 shipped

    Almost 300 pages of comics for men. Manly stories for manly readers. There is even a small amount of female nudity, so only men or women who like men's stories and are over 18 years of age are eligible to purchase.

    Totally agree with the points which you have made here.  (thumbsu

    As I have said here here before in the past, the Promise Collection is indded a top notch pedigree collection, and as such, deserved to have top notch grading done by the gang at CGC.  By this, I mean consistent and accurate grading, as opposed to either overly soft or overly tight grading, and in this sense the perception of inconsistency with respect to grading of the Promise Collection has in my mind seriously damaged the reputation of this pedigree going forward.  :(

    In this day and age of certification where the CPR game seems to be so embedded into the whole certification process, the mere fact that out of the almost 200 Promise books that have come back into the marketplace, only 5 have successfully had their grades changed either upwards or downwards seems rather odd.  This definitely gives pause as to how the books from the Promise Collection were originally graded and why there seems to be such abject fear to even try to play the usual go to CPR game when it comes to the Promise books relative to other certified books. hm (shrug)

     

    I seem to recall (or have a vague mental recollection) that a lot of the Promise books were "pre-optimized" (read pressed) prior to encapsulation.  That may be a reason why so few are getting CPR'd... hm
