Jayman Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Is it a big deal for people if the comment is left off? I could see a notation for something important that is contained within the pages of the book, such as "ad page for Superman #1" that you couldn't see or otherwise know about unless you crack the slab. However in this case I agree it is no big deal. Just by looking at the cover it screams classic decapitation cover. It almost seems redundant to put it on the label too. Edit to also say that I do realize that it is also a marketing ploy used for resale to the uninitiated...

Loukayza Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Doesn't bother me that much because I never plan to re-sell. I just thought it was odd because in the same submission, I had Tales of Terror Annuals 2 and 3, and they had comments such as bondage cover, skull cover, etc, and the CSS 22 was blank.. I guess given that all books are graded independently, one person might be more thorough than another at any point in the process.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loukayza Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 What kind of shape is the TOT Annual 2 in? Looking to sell? Sorry, not for sale!! I'm hoping it gets me at least a 7.0. I bought them both from a guy on eBay selling his Dad's EC collection. I think the 3 has a good shot an an 8.0. He also told me he had Annual 1, and I told him I'd pay good money for it and gave him my cell number but he never called back...It was a situation where he and his brother were selling the collection of and each had so many of the books....that one's impossible!!!!

Loukayza Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Whelp, I obviously need more practice with golden age grading. The #2 just shipped at 5.0, the #3 at 7.5. I think they hammered me with staining on the #2. And the CSS #22 I bought that Metro graded as a 4.5, is a 3.5. Such is life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're too disappointed to keep the #2 in your collection just let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifties Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 And the CSS #22 I bought that Metro graded as a 4.5, is a 3.5. Not surprising; they tend to overgrade as -or more- often as not, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
