My most frequent reaction to seeing anything graded by them, when holding one of their slabs in my hand is to examine the edges of the case for signs of tampering thinking the book was switched for a lower grade copy.

kav Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It was probably a typo they meant "2.5" and hit the wrong key. Tony S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It probably has a missing coupon or something inside as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicjack Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 No better than a 4.0 in my world DR.X and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 4.0 as long as the back cover is perfect, which seems unlikely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back cover is probably missing, otherwise this would've been a 7.0 by PGX standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 In all fairness, CGC has there share of mistakes also. I do think typos can happen on the grade. Look at this book............. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this book............. That old case can be manipulated easily. The label can be replaced then put the seal back inside then the case is re-sealed. Today the new case is tough. The label and seal are totally separated that is difficult to manipulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with CGC. Is this book currently on eBay? Never mind, I found it. My dad's computer won't expand or move the image. From that distance, it seems that has a slight spine roll. I have a feeling this is 4.0 or 4.5 for that condition with the slight spine roll. Edited September 3, 2018 by JollyComics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. For CGC? No, I don't think so..... do you have any experience that would prove that? I've cracked out both, and what your suggesting would seem impossible to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cracked out both, and what your suggesting would seem impossible to me I deslabbed old cases many times (both PGX and CGC). I read and store them with old labels. Pull the label from the top of the seal effortlessly. It's not that difficult. Sometimes, the case just popped without a single crack. Too easy. However the new seal is tough. I have not tried to crack the new case but I will. CGC knows what they are doing. Tony S and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
