Now why isn't this puppy in a slab?

Looks like it might be the real deal too, or darn close.

 

Do they allow slight stacking folds in the 9.4 grade?

Because it's really overgraded? And to answer your question, no, it's not considered a production defect. I would place it up there with the qualified Spider-Man #1 9.4.

I bought a number of books from this dealer at once about a year and a half ago. All except one were overgraded, usually by a grade or 2(9.4's that are actually 9.0's).

 

On the plus side, they have good customer service, and accepted returns on all the books I felt were overgraded, and did so with no problems whatsoever.

I haven't bought from J&S in about 15 years, but use to buy quite a bit. Things can change, but grading was never one of their strong points. Basically they would sell large lots of books at 25%-35% of guide so even though their VF/NM average were actually F/VF- you were still doing ok. I'd be shocked if that book graded close to their given grade.

Me too.
