I saw the top of the spine and thought it had a nice long spine split- I didn’t like Hit Comics and the drink coaster book. Who subs that book anyway?

I’m just bitter.:facepalm:

If it wasn't for inconsistent standards, they wouldn't have any grading standards at all!

:bigsmile:

Some of the grades in the competition do leave me scratching my head a bit but on this occasion I can actually see how these two would grade out the same structurally. They just stand out when put side to side due to the significant difference in eye appeal. But CGC don't grade eye appeal, do they. 

 

Do they...?
