It certainly makes me wonder why you need to show us your seeming superiority and your need to have the last word on every issue all the time, instead of trying to be more inclusive. Although I've been warned in PM's by other boardies about your rather infamous behavior here, it's really kind of sad to see some of them leave the boards as a result of this since some of them were really good board members with a lot of knowledge and love for this hobby of ours. Especially since (well at least from my point of view ) you are clearly a dedicated long time comic book collector and successful dealer with an absolutely amazingly fantastic personal collection that would be the envy of any collector, that it would seem to be beneath you to try to be the resident internet bully on these boards here. No doubt you'll get more good laughs at my post here as you do with every single one of them and you'll launch your usual condescending or snarky retorts in response. But that's okay and I don't have a real problem with it, as you do you. Them's some big words there Podner. lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you buy it as a 9.2 Tom? I would not. I talked to Borock at length about how much grief he got for grading that book a 9.0 This is my favorite book of all time and I think the writing should never have affected the grade. It's no different than Dennis, Church or Larson writing their names on Pedigree copies as far as I'm concerned. I remember when that book kept coming up for auction and I just couldn't believe nobody wanted to hang onto it. That's a lifer copy.

VintageComics Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 On 2/21/2022 at 5:34 PM, Timely said: It’s basically a qualified grade by mentioning all the writing on the label and calling it a Pay Copy, why? Because if you or I took another 9.2 copy and scribbled all the same stuff on it, it would NEVER EVER be given a 9.2 grade. All the writing is basically being ignored by cgc as a historic piece of comic lore. It’s a killer book, historically significant but as far as grading goes, inaccurately graded unless treated as a qualified, moderately written on Pay Copy. Trace the Pay Copy writing that’s on the cover to a Spawn #1 and see what grade it gets from cgc! Why would you treat the writing differently on the Pay copy than on a Ped copy?

Because the amount of writing is quite extensive, probably 10 times the amount that’s on a Mile High. At some point, you have to deduct for writing. jimjum12, Courageous Cat, VeryMetal!🤘 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
