as a completionist i would say someone wants a cgc in every grade ? even that sounds silly to me.

 

 

gijoed told me his first book he ever bought off of the rack was JLA #21. He's trying to get the book in every possible CGC grade. 0.5 / 1.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 2.5 etc.

 

 

hm That's an interesting undertaking.

 

It would be an awesome display, but I imagine getting every grade would only work on something modern, for the usual reasons...Getting a 10 down to NG would be incredibly cool.

A couple of years ago in Chicago I saw him picking up about six copies of JLA #21 from the CGC booth. Had a beautiful looking 9.4

 

Also saw him subbing a book that he was hoping to get a 1.0, as he already have a 0.5. I told him the book looked too nice and he should rip off more of the back cover.

I remember that!

 

That book is nigh impossible to find in 9.4 so that's pretty impressive...I think #29 is the only tougher book to find of the run once you are outside of the top 3.

Explain it to me like I'm a 6 year old (shrug)

 

 

Well, when mommies and daddies love each other and want to have a baby.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does this have anything to do with daddy parking his car in mommy's garage? Or would it be mommy's gorilla eating daddy's banana?

When I first came back to the hobby I bought the three cheapest slabs I could get off a CL auction so I could see grading examples and check out what a slabbed book even looked like (my LCS doesn't have any). If there had been something this cheap on ebay I might have gone for it, although I'm glad I bought what I did (although the shipping was more than all three books if I recall).

Last time daddy came home drunk and tried to park his car in mommy's garage he drove into the hedges and made a horrible mess. Daddy was knocked out cold and mommy was quite ticked.
