Mint books are getting 9.4s and 9.6s with every book getting grader notes of "light bends" and of course the phantom staining they seem to find that no one else can. Yeah, I mentioned the "light finger bends" a while back after my other ASM 300s came back 5.5s and no one agreed with me that CGC was getting tougher. I honestly think they want to force us to press every book OR ELSE. I sold both of those ASM 300s but probably shouldve cracked, pressed and re subbed because they were beautiful copies looking with the naked eye.
