I don't see Metropolis much better or worse than the standard dealer when it comes to grading. If I don't agree, I return it. While I like buying from Superworld, I find they tend to be a little more unreliable. The books pricing often seems to reflect that, so I don't mind.

Overall I still purchase far far more raw than slabbed. Maybe 75 to 1. Bob Storms is one of the better graders, the best I would say is Doug Sulipa, although I don't find his stock as strong as the other two.

You can't depend on the slab either. Or else you might be in for a rude awakening when you try to pass this off as a 9.4.

I mentioned that in the grading section...everyone else including me thought that was one HECK of a misgraded book.
