Nathan M. Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 This is the worst 9.8 I have in my collection. I just got it in yesterday. It is a Brzrkr #1 1:1000 variant and it has a big crease/ding in the back of the cover. Microchip, mysterymachine and HobbyLife 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjonahjameson11 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 For me, it’s the ASM 300 9.8 newsstand with the 1/4 inch crease clearly visible on the back cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If you are buying the grade always ask for pics. Never assume the 9.8 is your definition of a 9.8 or whatever. I’ve seen books graded 6.0 even and I look and feel that they are more 4.5-5.0 by my standards. I always ask for more pictures and never assume all grades are equal. Many are but you also have to account for every 10000 9.8 books out there, surely a handful are wrongly graded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yea but when you have the small chance of books getting damaged even while in the slab combined with human error because it’s impossible to be 100% in any job, that accounts for these anomalies. Remember you are scrolling through this thread seeing some terrible examples…maybe what six or seven so far have been shared? Out of how many 9.8s though? Has to be 100000 on the census across the board. I’m not excusing these flaws but rather just showing that mathematically (and because it’s humans) they have to occur.

Mr. Zipper Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 All these 9.8s with multiple prominent spine creases have to be labelling errors, or swapped out labels. namisgr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
