Jipsy24 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Hey folks! Just got this from eBay today, Hell Arisen # 3 CGC 9.8. I'm not sure if these are classed as printing defects but 9.8 still seems way too high. The front of the cover looks great, however.

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It's a 9.8 according to CGC. The Lions Den, Deadpoolica and silverseeker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jipsy24 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Makes me wonder if more than one person really grades each comic 😆 I’ve messaged the seller, hopefully he’ll accept a return. Otherwise I’ll have to sell it and clearly state that it doesn’t look like a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I can imagine a scenario with these ultra-modern books that it's a single grader that looks over the FC carefully but scans over the BC quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you may end up in a urinating contest with the seller over who bears responsibility (seller or CGC). Hope everything works out on your end though, great eye on this one. silverseeker, The Lions Den and Jipsy24 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I mean, a 9.4-9.6 seems more likely. I find a lot of CGC errors happen on the more modern (post 1990 or so) books. Am I wrong in that? And I understand collectors wanting the perfect copy, especially if they pay perfect copy prices. Because this is impossible to avoid (humans are involved so to have perfection will always be impossible), if I WERE someone buying 9.8 copies, I would ask the seller to take lotsa close up pics and not just assume the book inside is as perfect as I want it to be.
