lowball Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I know that's a subjective question, but I'm new to CGC and curious what odd things they have graded over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tec-Tac-Toe Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Every comic book and magazine I have graded. However, the "invisible" comic book comes close since I will not sucker anyone into purchasing my books. Funnybooks and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was joking (recently, my jokes land as flat as flat can be), I grade the standard-fare. Flanders82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DanCooper Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2023 For the Golden Age aficionados - the "#1" of Action Comics: (OH, the WHITE PAGES!) And, hopefully, one day CGC will start grading dealers! Larryw7, lowball, littledoom and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 This one would seem like a fake, except for the blank label from around 1999. Most likely a test/prototype for potentially grading officially-licensed photos (non-comics) right from the start. MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Most of the weird stuff here hasn't been graded, per se, just encapsulated. Ironically, the only slab with a grade on it is the one with nothing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They slabbed it as a test/prototype, then didn't open that line of business, so I'd put it in "weirdest" because it didn't happen... yet, there it is.
