That grade is inconceivable!

I do not think he is using the same grading that we are using.

 

 

[Rickdogg]

I think he is using the same Grading guide as this guy:

Yes I think his description needs a bit of fine tuning - I would suggest first to make the auction 'private', and then to justify it with something like "to dissuade the type of thrill bidder that this type of auction invariably attracts" Then a very good trick would be to buy a CGC key 8.0 for example, take it out of its case, and sell it six months later as 9.2 - always eselling things at a higher grade six months after you bought them. Also give buyers a certain (say 30 day) time limit for refund, as we all know that these days only the grading gurus can distinguish between 8.0 and 9.2, so chances are, few will be returned - The few that are, he could refund the money, thus avoiding negative feedback (well perhaps he should make his feedback 'private' in case people leave positives which read things like "refund received quickly", etc) - I think the guy whose auction you pointed out is trying desperately to jump on someone else's bandwagon - just needs a bit more sophistication............

Fer' Chris'sakes, you guys are NOT interpreting the What If #31 MINT auction correctly. Where's your reading comprehension? No wonder the hobby is in the state that it's presently in! "#31 MINT" !! What's not to understand? He means that the area that the #31 occupies on the cover is MINT! And from the looks of it, he's right. That number 31 looks pretty minty-fresh to me!! The rest of the cover looks Good/Vg, BUT, that number 31 is one of the nicest I've seen! It's just a matter of interpreting these auctions correctly. You were all confused. That's all!

[PovertyRow]

Consider ME chastised. Sheesh. I shall have to re-examine all the auctions I rejected this week. There may be some real #1 Gems!!!!!

[chrisco37]

That's Inconceivable!!!!!!

Here's another guy that should pick up the new overstreet grading guide:

 

NEAR MINT!

 

He sent me a scan with dust jackets, multiple spine breaks. I was laughing my off.

[hammer-migration]

Guys, Once again, I must play "devil's advocate". Please bear in mind that in the Overstreet Price Guide, the grading definitions for all the grades Poor to Mint all are within, quite literally, inches of one another, so in essence, he too, is technically correct! The definition of Fair and Good is only about 5 inches away from the definition of MINT so he's probably interpreting the proper fair/good grade definition for this comic as being in the vicinity of the grade definition for MINT, thus "near" Mint as the grade for this comic! You just have to project yourself into the mind of the seller and the reasoning becomes quite logical in a completely illogical way!!!

[blowout]

"You just have to project yourself into the mind of the seller and the reasoning becomes quite logical in a completely illogical way!!!"

 

you don't really believe that garbage do you?

these type of sellers are blatantly overgrading in order to make more $$$.

no amount of 'justification' using overstreet will gloss over that fact.
