zzutak Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Metro's listing consisted only of a grade and price. There was no mention of splits, missing chunks, or missing pages. Grading is subjective? Are you kidding me? The freakin' book is missing the very first interior leaf!

Tri-Color Brian Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think they grade by just looking at the cover inside a plastic bag or mylar...and nothing else...LOL thewritestuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC only from now on. Agreed. They have some great books but I'd never trust their grading or restoration detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is especially sloppy and unforgiveable for a dealer like that. I would expect much better. Reminds me of a typical Ebay listing. "We are not professional graders", grade the book yourself by the cover photos provided and the kicker... We do not accept returns. I buy VERY little there any more.

I will only by CGC from them in the future as well. yes, never again will I buy raw books from them. grading is terrible.
