wombat Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well maybe they gave it a 5.0 (or 6.0) and the guy printing the label just hit the wrong button. *insert gif here with blindfolded monkey pushing buttons* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The label could be real and just the book was swapped out. How do the posts look to those in the know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud cloddie Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Somebody buy the graders notes so we can see what kept it from being a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loukayza Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Had to be a typo at the end of grading. I had it around 5.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAgeGuy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 4.5, maybe a 5, but an 8? Grader held his thumb over the top left corner while grading, or this has been tampered with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally's Comics Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 someone found a way to crack a case without damaging the nods slip it out and replace an 8.0 book that was in there with a VG+... Seems like an awful lot of work for 2k... All signs point that this "IS" legit! A huge bumble by CGC... But still, No QUALITY CONTROL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 :whatthe: I was thinking 4.0 or 4.5!! Same here. This is ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally's Comics Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have a 7.0 copy of ASM 5 that looks under graded and presents like an 8.0... I bet next to this copy it would present like a friggin' 9.6!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally's Comics Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 do you own this? Negative! I either buy raw to submit myself or buy a graded book by way of the books appearance as a representation of that grade (in this case - Thank God!)... this is mind numbing to say the least.

Wally's Comics Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 that's a travesty. those pages are off white at worst. The ultra bad thing is GP points that this flipped for $1,400 and the buyer ate over a thousand bucks on this mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Comics Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Best I could see on it is 6.0. I had it around 5.0/5.5 personally... If it is an error, it makes sense that it was going to be a 5.0 and someone hit the 8 by accident as the 8 rests right above the 5 on the 10-key. I would say human error. But agree that QC should have caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybuck43 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Mycomicshop notes minor crack on side of case. Probably a pull and replace. http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=25540340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
