Yeah but the original text I quoted is from the description that says 9.4

Its 20 bucks on Mercari lmao https://merc.li/ujfj55tjb Edit: screw it I bought it

Mercari

Maybe that's mint juice on the back cover!

That's a fair point so I went and checked and nope lmao hes posted corner pics of everything front and back! You thought the front was pristine, check out the back!!

He also liked pie. Maybe that's what he was cooking?

So a little hope with these, he pulled a vader #1 and I pulled a vader #11 the other day, so there might be a Vader #3 in these, somewhere.

I know sellers tend to round up on grades but CMON MAN. Or maybe I can sell this guy some of my 5.0s as 9.4's? Lmao Misgrading by this much should almost be a crime. I feel sorry for some new collector who buys it. Anyone seen worse? Any 3/4.0s presented as 9s?

As long as it's not Ravage 2099.

I'm a fraction of a percentage point convinced.

This is simple to me. You're grading a comic book. The pages are really the main part, or at least the bulk, of the comic. Why wouldn't all aspects of the pages be included in grading the book to begin with?

Nope not yet but I'll keep checking periodically, I have 3 meijers pretty local.

Yeah and the bags are very loose, allowing you to move them around and get a decent look. You can press down the bag tight and get a read on most titles front and back, the middle one takes a little bag work but is identifiable.

Update on these packs: Theres 2 kinds with identical UPC's, one is a 3 pack of moderns and one is a 4 pack of out of prints that I found today at another Meijers, there were 2 of them mixed in with the moderns. Nothing good in either one. Oh and they ring up as "Trading cards"

I just got a score I worked on for over a month lol. I work nights and I was doing odd searches on FB marketplace looking for comics and found the ad I uploaded, showing a pic of 41 and listing star wars comics 41 & 42 by the month they were produced and no # sign on the issues and it had been up for months! I reached out and they were very slow to respond, sometimes days in between responses, but I just stayed patient and nice and finally a few days ago they responded and asked if I still wanted it, after several days and my last message being "give me your paypal email so you can ship it" and no response to that for days. Today I got my sweetest score yet, 41 & 42 for 60 bucks shipped! Gotta love stuff listed oddly! Not 9.8s but in pretty good shape for being shipped together in 1 bag with no board score!

I'm guessing it's a Wolverine issue and he tried getting out!

How does she not counter with 45k?? Noobs.

Benfords law is also used to spot laundering and illegal funds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law#:~:text=Benford's law%2C also called the,life sets of numerical data.&text=If the digits were distributed,about 11.1% of the time.

Careful or else his publishers lawyers might get involved too

I am really starting to like UPS. I know there are horror stories from there, like everywhere, but they are well above 90% reliability with me. This was just sent with standard 9.99 shipping and it got there in a day.

Did some random driving today and wound up finding a video game resell place that just started doing comics. This all came out to 100 sticker price, I got it all for 75. I knew I found a good spot when I saw batman 313 for 12.95 on the rack when I walked in!

I did my Cates speccing this week, loving the siggy!

There seems to be different opinions on grab bags (shocker!) so I wanted to see just how good or bad they have treated everyone over the years. What's your best pull from a grab bag or raffle and what did it cost you? They are essentially the same thing, one just gives you some guaranteed product and one just gives you a ticket. Or if you've blanked consistently that's valid info to post as well. My best was a 15 dollar grab bag that I pulled a XMen 132 newsstand out of. Not a huge win but a nice win.

I'm looking forward to my first con in Novi in May!
