Sneaky and misleading little %@&#(&

Check out this book.

HULK 4

 

I sold him that book when as a VF with replaced staples. Notice how he doesn't assign a grade but says that "if he remembers correctly, it was sold to him as a VF/NM". This way he isn't even taking responsibility for the grade. Conveniently his memory is failing him in his favor by a full grade. The book will either be qualified or restored as I have seen both labels with replaced staples. Someone is going to get ripped off since bidding is already at $650. Just completely ticks me off.

Um what did he pay for it if you dont mind me asking.

At least he says the staples have been replaced. I'm not sure if that's what he latter added to his description...

[LordRahl]

Somewhere just below $300 if memory serves. Yeah he at least states that the staples are replaced but is still purposely overgrading and not taking responsibility for the grade by stating that he bought it as a VF/NM, which he did not buy it as. He's also saying that it would not get a restored label which is incorrect.

Ya if someone slabs that puppy they are in for a

I find it even more funny that he starts off the description with how this book is the highest UNRESTORED copy of the book he's ever owned. Then conveniently much later he adds, "oh yeh, it might be restored".

I sold him a Slabbed ASM 5 unrestored CGC 6.0 awhile back. I wonder if he cracked it and said it was a VF?

[murph0]

Nah, he probably just sent it in to CGG to get a Universal label

Boy that would be dumb since the book already had a blue label.

My understanding is that it will get the Q label if the staples are from the same period as the book, and a PLOD if they aren't...? Is that correct? Or will it actually get a Blue label if the staples are from the same period?
