B2, and if I had to bet, I'd bet B5 also.

This is GOLD! Row3 is everything wrong with the hobby today.

O1 also seems to be a problem right now.  "King of the Symbiotes!"  "A brunette Harley!"  "Venom-War-Machine!" etc., etc., etc.

What gets me annoyed as a seller is the opposite end of the spectrum. It's the dealers that list a book as a VG and when I look at the picture i can't see any noticeable defects that would knock the book down that far. I realize there can be some hidden defects, but if a books like a vf/nm book and it's graded a very good, i think it would be important to note in the description why this book is graded this way. As a seller it makes it harder to sell a book that's a fine/very fine for a decent price when several other books look better but are graded lower. When I grade a book I try to be as realistic as i can and not let wishful thinking affect the grade I give. It seems a lot of these big dealers are leaving some money on the table. I understand being conservative, but there is a difference between grading a F/VF book as a VG/F or even a fine and grading a VF+ or better as a VG/F or less.

Which eBay/online dealers sells F/VF books as VG? Asking for a friend. 🤓

i personally dont ever buy raw books on feebay. it's impossible to determine accurate grades from a bunch of usually lousy pics online. and since it's impossible to leave negative feedback there anymore, there are no consequences for overgrading, so it's common for sellers.

N3 (sell free comic book day comics), is this a "thing" now?  I recently saw someone trying to sell free comic book day comics and they were asking some ridiculous amount ($49 or $79) if I recall.  Crazy.

OP may not want to throw the seller under the bus but I'm happy to

https://www.ebay.com/itm/FEAR-1-2-3-4-5-6-8-THESE-BOOKS-ARE-VERY-HIGH-GRADE-EARLY-KIRBY-DITKO-1970/392962959879?hash=item5b7e6aea07:g:QvEAAOSwytxfakZC

It's simply par for the course. A 100% positive feedback seller. VG to FN condition raw books represented as "very high grade", ebay is the arena of buyers with lowered expectations, where mediocrity flourishes and thrives.
