bandbsdad Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The first pic is two glued Orange variants that were expertly extracted from the Previews Magazine by a friend of mine (notice the edge tearing and trimming at the side and top of the books). The second pic is one of an unglued copy that I obtained at the Diamond Distributors Retail Sale in the Summer of 1993. Let's be clear, these are the same exact book just one was put in the Previews and the other was rescued from that horrible fate. All three books have been counted on the census as the same book (Deathmate Preview #nn Orange Variant). Can anyone explain to me why these two books graded the same?

Axe Elf Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 They probly just had a few extra 9.8 holders they were trying to use up that day. MetalPSI and Not A Clone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Probably for the same reason that a regular 9.8 and a comic book with a common MFG flaw can receive the same grade. Tony S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am blind but it is VERY hard to tell what the difference here is between the two condition wise. So when asking why they both received the same grade, I would assume the answer is because they were both the same grade..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it might be easier to see the difference if somebody learned to eat potatoes and take pictures with cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
