JUST GOT THIS BACK FROM CGC.....

[rdz30606-migration]

Scorpion #1

 

Be interested to hear forum's view on what grade this came back with

 

Here's the front...

 

 

and here's the back....

Scans are too small to make the call....

[rdz30606-migration]

I'll try to fix that....no time now though however.

[gernblanston]

hard to see, but I would normally say 9.6 on those scans. You probably wouldn't do a PGM for a straight up grade though, so 8.0.

Just tried scanning a bigger image in....not sure if I've entirely succeeded....

 

 

You're right this comic did come in lower than I expected....but 8.0?

 

If if had come back an 8.0...I wouldnt have bothered posting the image...it would have been sent straight back to Florida!!!!

[Aces]

9.4

[Mr.Silvestri]

9.2

 

[Timmay]

9.0

[TFL-migration]

Small scans. But I will say 9.2

[40sJohn]

9.4

[oakman29]

9.6/9.8

Need to see scans of the unencapsulated book to judge it, dude.

 

Notice how much better the small details can be seen on a raw book:

Love the Atlas books!

You can still get the entire output from this publisher with the exceptionof a couple of the mags in High grade, on the cheap, if patient.

How often can you say that!

Great artists and writers worked for this publisher, and at some point I truly beleive these in HG will get the respect due!!

What an amazing story behind this Publishing company!

OK....once again apologies for the poor scans.

 

The comic came back a 9.4!! so congrats to anybody who got it right!

 

I was convinced it was easily a 9.6/9.8

 

I've been collecting / grading comics for the last three years and over 50 % of the 300 I've had graded have fallen in the NM+ to NM/MT category.....so I was a bit shocked when I got it wrong!!!!

You may not be so "wrong" as a small dimple somewhere could have made the difference.

Thanks man....there was only one v.slight color breaking spine break. The comic had that glossy "new" feel....The last time I had a comic like that was a Thor #234 that came back a 9.8.

 

I guess the next stop is grading notes on this book from our friends in Sarasota.
