Seems perfectly reasonable to me...

 

Give me a moment to finish training these butterflies to fly in formation and I will be right with you...

but it's "mint cgc 9.4+" and "the book is gem mint. condition:mint "

 

That's got to be worth 400? Right?

[Rickdogg]

I emailed the seller for better pics and asked about his "NO RETURN POLICY" and never received an email back. I personally wouldn't drop $400 on a raw book that I couldn't return

[aardvark88]

Description does not even say pic was of the nm bk b4 slabbing. U may be correct interpreting GR #1 ad as RAW.

[Rickdogg]

I'm guessing it's raw based on the horrible item description

This is gonna be real lame, but this buyer definatley got a "Raw Deal"....

Oops, mark this bit up to "missed sarcasm."

 

I think the buyer got so screwed on this deal it's not even funny. I was pointing out how many times the buyer called it "mint" and the "cgc" lie to make fun of him/ her. I don't think the book is slabbed, I think it's raw and overgraded.

When I saw this auction this afternoon my jaw dropped to the floor. What would this go for if it was slabbed at the advertised grade.

He doesn't use a single period or cap in the entire description. If he can't master these simple skills, how on earth could he master the unknowable art of CGC grading? Of course, he hasn't mastered the art of making a clear image, either. Why would anyone bid on this auction? I just don't understand it.

Well Mud, considering that I went to high school with the winner and he was a total jerk, I'm so happy that he won the book!

[chrisco37]

There's no doubt it's raw. The whole auction was mis-leading. However, I would never bid on an item where the description said "CGC" many times, yet the picture is a raw book. Seller's have to show a picture of the item they are selling as it is.

 

Oh well, at least one of greggy's many enemies got hosed.

If this book is raw, the guy buying it is...IMO...a insufficiently_thoughtful_person. A CGC 9.4 copy of this book was going for 400-500 dollars was it not? Plus there's a Ghost Rider 1 NM 9.2-9.4 raw that's ending soon only at 120 dollars. Man, I need to put my raw G.R. #1's up
