Sqeggs Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 But since we're discussing it ... 6.5 seems a little high for the grade, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe HA stills has stuff from the Levine house for sale after two years They certainly are willing to slowly bleed stuff out. Kind of like the Mel Dybdahl books, which I think they are still listing, or Graham's books on CLink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Phil had more Fox than St John in terms of romance, and this is his nicest Baker so far, yet HA doesn't think it's worth $20+ to get it slabbed. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it's still only a $150 book in the guide. But they do sometimes keep raw books that you would think they would have had graded.

Sqeggs Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Pleased with how this one turned out. Much brighter in hand than my scanner makes it look. Yorick, Point Five and BakerFanOne 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Showed this one when I bought it raw from Metro as a 9.4. CGC graders disagreed. May turn on whether the top and the bottom of the spine are a bit of production tearing or wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the chronic over-grading and egregious manipulations, their philosophy of bleeding customers means that the price is rarely ever "right".

Agree ... Metro ha s their own grading scale and one will seldom get a comic back from CGC with the same grade that Metro sold it as ..........

I thought it would go to 4 figures. It is tough and a cover ppl like. All you need is 2 wanting to fill their holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
