Gregd Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Thanks! Bought this a couple years ago from Metropolis. Not sure if their grade is true. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Metropolis grading is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 What did Metropolis grade this as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I get they graded this an 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 I believe it was a 7.5 - bought it when I first started seriously collecting and thought grading by major comic sellers were fairly accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many dealers are much more accurate in their grading. MYcomicshop is generally a better place to buy raws. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Grades are, of course, opinions, but it's not a 7.5. Very liberal grading. MyComicShop is the opposite - very conservative. Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Thanks for the grade. I have learned to trust very few dealers and individuals with raw books. Even some eBay sellers that have 100% have sent me books they claim are 9.0 and above only to find rusty staples, water marks, etc (all of which were not apparent in the pics). đŸ˜”Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am The Answer! Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The Answer is: 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 For me, looks just shy of Fine, so I'm with the 5.5 brigade. The overgrading by so many sellers is dishonest and I prefer it when they offer the item with a price & no grade. At least then it's just overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
