I don't want a trophy, I want the satisfaction of being the best. so do you wanna tell me when it is or are you afraid that I would score well?

so then if you use natural materials found outside, like water to clean is that restoration? currently that gets the cover cleaned designation If you marry pages and use the same book, is that technically bad? (other than the cgc stigmatization of the green label) If your headlights broke in 1970 and you got them fixed in 1970 with 1970 headlights is that different than getting them fixed now with 1970 headlights? Because wrongly IMO CGC says it's the same thing. and if you trim you aren't adding to the book, in fact you are taking away. (I do not condone not noting restoration of any kind. The above are part of a series of ethically provocative questions. Viewer discretion is advised.)

ironically comparing false equivalency to this scenario is false equivalency. If you make a claim you need to back it up or it's garbage

focusing on disclosure for now

Why is Pressing/Cleaning NOT unethical and before CCS would it be considered differently?

it's sarcasm, you (insert word that would probably be removed by mod)

It's Grading Season

2.0

that's altering the comic. You can't do that. It's UNETHICAL

People my age google stuff, much less books. you can be as sad as you want but even this thread is technology. we should start a thread by pigeon carrier

Do you think the owner of CGC runs qc on CGC? Do you think Aunt Jemima is the one taking sap from the tree for the syrup?

My editor launched the auction. If I had seen things before they launched, I would have added a question mark in the title. I just added more info in the description

People don't realize it, but some issues of Love Jounal (I believe that one, I could be mistaken), have super early Buscema work in them. The CGC label usually doesnt say that. So you have to ask yourself, are we the collectors wrong? or are other "respected' entities just more flawed than most are willing to accept? What genius made Grand Comic Database count both sides of each page? How many pages DON'T have 2 sides? (besides a fox pub......you savvy mother truckers.) Nuff said.

If you actually looked at the other 600 or 700 auctions ending, you would see that scans front and back is the standard. Even BLISSARD doesn't do interior pics. It sickens to be the blindness of so many comic book people. Just because CGC or anyone for that matter calls it a 6.0 doesn't mean it is a 6.0. Baker did a bunch of art that he was not credited for and I believe this is one of them. Just because it says Matt Baker, doesn't mean it was ACTUALLY matt baker, and vice versa. Where did our thinking caps go?

3.5, could be an ugly 4.0

really nice eye appeal 4.5, maybe 5.0 pressed because of that dent on the top and the light soiling on the back

neither of you 2 can grade, and this will only inspire corruption in other people's opinions. shame on you

anytime bud pun intended

covers attached at both staples, small piece of tape on cover on bottom staple (goes around to the back), small "d" written in pen on top left back corner. It does have an approx 1.5 inch spine split. I wrote 2 where the book is for sale so the buyer is happy.

HOLY COW
