I can't help but be suspicious....

I can't seem to look away from this listing. Beyond the holder, this book looks impressive. The grading looks pretty tight (at least what I can see from the front cover scan). My concern is whether CGG has what it takes to do thorough restoration checks?

 

I have to make a few assumptions; the slouching yield has to be because people don't have the confidence in CGG.

 

Here are a few observations. If this book performs like a raw copy, then auctions like this will spell doom for CGG. After all, who would go through the trouble of third-party grading when the book is fetching raw prices?

 

What do you guys think? Is there any basis for my concerns, and would you risk it with a book like this?

nice fingerprint on the top right hand corner.....but still it's a nice book. maybe their reputation/grading/resto check will get better with time. the true test would be to send them a book bought from daniel dupcak/comic-keys and submit it to see of they can tell it's been restored.

hey supapimp

 

do you think that smudge is on the holder, or the book itself?

Sup - hard to say that is a fingerprint - it is very dense and parallel but cuts off quite suddenly top and bottom?
