THERE IS NOW A DD 7 CGC 9.6

[Flaming_Telepath]

you have to admit it would suck if you bought this book thinking it's a true blue one of a kind example of a 43 year old comic. surviving all this time in near perfect condition.

 

only to find out it's a processed 9.6 not one of a kind at all.

 

As I said earlier, if you were the owner of one of the 9.4s, you'd also be elated to discover that your prize copy has just be devalued due to the manipulation of an inferior book.

 

Ah, the thrills and spills of restoration loopholes.

So there is another 9.6 somewhere?

I musta missed that memo

[Ghost Town]

Given that Pacific Coast has multiple copies of many issues, how do we know for sure this is the copy that used to be 9.2?

Way back when, both PC copies were 9.2s. I bought one of them raw from Roter and it slabbed a 9.2. I believe the book in this thread was first slabbed by Linmoth.

I didnt see anything stating it was pressed....

 

Quite.

 

Proactive disclosure has never been Mr Schmell's strong suit.

 

Not in his last job, and not in this one.

Nick, I understand your point, but as far as the 9.4s are concerned, there isn't anything that would have prevented a 9.6 from showing up by "natural" means and devaluing them anyway.

Thanks for the info.

 

This one's really got its sh!te together since then, clearly.

I accept that.

 

But that's not what happened. It's like running the 100 metres at the Olympics and getting the Silver because a better athlete beat you.

 

And then finding out he was using steroids.

 

One you can accept, the other...not so much.

Not to worry Arex. I'm sure another will be manufactured soon enough.

1. It's pressed. It is no longer a pedigree. Pedigree books that are pressed have lost the history.

 

 

That seems to be a bit of an extreme view on pressed pedigrees, no? Might as well start taking the pedigree notation off most of the books on the market if that is the case.

Let's go one better. Let's say that only raw pedigrees still retain their pedigree status. By being slabbed we have altered its past as well as its future. We can have a motto, "Once it's slabbed that's just too bad."

 

"Once entombed, the book is doomed".

You have been waiting for just the right time to whip that one out, haven't you?

Im thinking so also.That was awfully quick

PS doing my part to 100 pages

Roy, are you serious with these comments lately?

 

If that is the old PC copy I thought even at 9.4 it was borderline but CGC has always been a bit more loose on tough books.

 

Where are you getting this information from?

 

 

[VintageComics]

Right here. You tell me.

 

[Issa]

Sweet book! ...If I ever owned a book that was pressed,

i bet you do...

 

LIAR!

[TheShadowKnows]

there is way too much talk of "whipping it out" for me folks

:naughty:

Bob, what are you...knew?

 

[blazingbob]

This is one book, I'm talking about your general statement that tough books are graded looser.

 

Didn't you just post in another thread that you can't grade from a scan. So what exactly is different about this scan that's going to tell me it's graded looser?

 

Tough Silver age books? I've owned quite a few tough books and I didn't think they were loose on them at all.

 

Tough Golden Age books?

 

Just DD #7's?

 

 

 

 

[blazingbob]

I don't know, am I Knew?

 

I didn't know that you somehow had gotten hold of the CGC grading standards since you seem to know quite a bit more than I do and I've been around since they opened their doors.

 

 

[VintageComics]

Bob, I always felt DD #7 got a bit of a gift...that was one book I considered a grail and always followed. Other books that are tough in grade like JIM #89 I though got a bit of a "break" as well. There's no rule...just my observation.

 

Again I could be totally wrong but these are my experiences...

 

I mean you tell me what a hi grade DC from the same era would grade if it had a "printer's wrinkle" across the cover (I'm simply assuming it's there cause I've never see a copy without one), three tiny chips and spine stress.

 

 

I find Action #242 (is that the Brainiac one?) to also get treated differently.
