EXACTLY!

THE DEALERS OR OWNERS OF THE COMIC BOOK STORES IN THE NYC METRO AREA DO NOT STATE A GRADE THEY JUST QUOTE THE 9.4 PRICES OUT OF OVERSTREET AND WIZARD FOR ALL THERE COMICS SINCE THEY NOW HARDLY EVER PUT PRICE TAGES ON THE PLATICS THE COMICS ARE IN.

The dealers are quoting prices to you based on the fact they want to make money. Just because someone quotes you a NM price on a book, it doesn't mean that they graded it as a NM copy.

I DON'T BOTHER TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THE GRADES AND PRICING BECAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN SOME NASTY REMARKS FROM THEM WHEN I DID POINT IT OUT TO THEM INCLUDING ONE OWNER THAT TREATED ME SO RUDELY WHEN TALKING ABOUT PRICE AND GRADES THAT I KNEW HE WANTED ME TO LEAVE!

Really! I would think that you would offer them more money since you seem to overgrade everything. Since everything is "NM" in your book their prices should fit even if it were VF copies.

REALLY THEN YOU AGREE THEY OVER GRADE AND THEY ARE THE DEALERS AND THE EXPERTS OH AND THEY ARE THE CGC DEALERS AS WELL! ARE YOU SAYING ITS OK FOR THEM TO DO THIS BUT NOT YOU? AND WHY IS IT OK FOR THEM TO DO IT? AND WHY WOULD CGC ALLOW ITS NAME TO BE USED BY THEM IF THEY DO NOT USE CGC STANDARDS WITH THERE OWN STUFF?

Dealers do overgrade their items from time to time, but nothing like you did in your auction listing. It is okay for people to overgrade a little bit (ex. VF- vs. VF+), but in your case ("9.8 NM/MT!") is just a plain joke. By the way, what standard do you use? Obviously you don't use Overstreet or the Wizard for your grading criteria.

That is so true! I can understand the idea of " grading being subjective " in a case where a book was graded a VF+ & it is CGC graded a VF-, but this book being graded a " 9.8 NM/MT !" is WAYYYYYYYYY OFF! I'm surprised people even bid after seeing his "impeccable feedback"

Hey Scottish, maybe you can add a "unique CGC book" with no label to your CGC collection.

Meth,

I understand that people should always get "the benefit of the doubt," but I am sorry, in this case, this is comedy to say the least. "9.8 NM/MT!" HAHAHAHAHA

stckwzrd1,

Just wondering if the dealer actually stated the book as being mint to you? Dealers tend to overprice their stuff (that's how they make money), hell, they even overgrade a lot of times, but I have never seen a dealer grade a book as "9.8 NM MT condition" when the book was junk.

Wow taking philosophy (logic) does help after all "AD HOMINEM" HEHEHEE

This thing had white pages so... I'd rather have a Hulk #181 anyday. I have noticed a good handful of these GSX's popping up on a regular basis.

Betty Ross is going to be played by

Jennifer Connelly

Nope. I could have had more slabs signed by Josh Blaylock, Steve Kurth, Michael Oeming,etc fairly easily but I didnt feel like carrying all of the slabbed stuff Artists/writers usually are really cool about signing stuff.

That's why I have my cgc books signed on the slab The damn case better not crack or I will kill HEHHE Signatures are more for your own pleasure. I get all of my "Raw" books signed at the San Diego Convention. If doesn't bother me if someone doesn't want to buy a "signed" book from me since I got it singed for myself to begin with Collect what you like & focus on the $$$ part of comics afterwards. especially if you need more $$$ to buy buy buy like me

Not to my knowledge, but I am a feen for McFarlane signatures Whoever doesn't want their McFarlane sigs can mail it to me

There are 12 9.8's so far.

He better hope that the census stays that way . HEHE Highly doubt it

Man that is way too much for a GI JOE 9.8! I'd pay max $100 since I love the Joes, but $250 forget it.

LMAO

I like the cyclops running on the media player

I understand your point CI Packaging has become less than mediocre since the recent USPS Priority mail price hikes People try to save a dollar $ just by packing light sacrificing the well being of the comic itself I rarely buy anything unslabbed unless it is from someone I TRUST

I love ebay! There are some losers out there that try to rip off people on a daily basis, but this usually can be avoided. I personally have neer been taken. That's why I post all of the potential comic "hazards" here just so that everyone here can make the call on a potential scam as I do not want anyone else to be shafted.

Don't worry about your stars I was just knocked down from 3 stars to 2 Just some insufficiently_thoughtful_person on the board hating

300 is plane jane with all of the "300's," but McFarlane ROCKS! He just draws Spidey in those kick positions.
