But I think the bar for 9.9's should be a bit higher than "not horrible" when they go for 10-20x 9.8 value. Here's another 9.9 the same auction house has up right now. Not going to bother zooming in on each corner, but they are sharp. These are the corners I demand in my 9.9s. 9.9s are nice but like people say "buy the book, not the label" it took me a long time to learn that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Man Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 9.9 is a scam Reading the Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide the following categories read the same, as to what is allowable for both grades: BINDERY DEFECTS COVER/EXTERIOR SPINE STAPLES PAPER/INTERIOR The above covers 'corners' in the COVER/EXTERIOR, and they read the same. The only thing that differs is in the GRADE DESCRIPTION. "Near perfect in every way" vs. "Nearly perfect in every way". If you want to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars in a premium based on NEAR OR NEARLY, then have at it. I am perfectly happy with a 9.8 Poekaymon and Hollywood1892 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
