gadzukes Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 This comic is slabbed, but it really seemed like a harsh grade so I thought I'd present it to you to see what you thought. I'll reveal the CGC grade later. But..... I will tell you..... it has a red label so it was graded in CGC's infancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Spine corners seem like that might be a tad rounded. The white areas seem like there's some soiling. Hard to detect finger bends & the like in the holder. 8.0/8.5. I've got 10 red labels and I've wondered how the standards have changed, plus if these comics were ever pressed (guessing most not). They're only mid-tier keys so not a ton of incentive to re-grade after pressing, but the thought has crossed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Tough to grade through the holder but I'm going to stick my neck out with 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 8.5 To me, in hand it looks so much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Was grading stricter or more relaxed back in the red label days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I would think 9.0/9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
