87richarm Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Just purchased ASM 601 on Comiclink and received it today. I don't remember the spine tick being so bad (clink website is down right now so i cant view the picture). Also there were no grader notes. But I have no idea how this got a 9.6. Lesson learned. silverseeker, Sauce Dog, Mystafo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Dog Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 This stings extra hard knowing how much you also paid to ship it to you here in Canada 87richarm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 That does look bad for a 9.6, so much so that it makes one think it was made worse post-grading in the handling for encapsulation. 87richarm, skillzdadirecta and Artifiction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshoota Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Yes, I thought it was just me when I noticed, with my untrained eye, that my 9.2 graded comic had more noticeable blemishes than my 7.5 or 8.0. The 8.0 's were polybagged comics, never touched, it was removed for grading by CGC and comment stated "polybag crease cover"? Comics look prestine to me. I will send smaller batch of comics next time and remove poly bag comics myself and send it too. Just to see if it makes a difference. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Looks like a 9.6 to me…9.6 inch crease. 🤣🤣🤣 jimjum12 and 87richarm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgar-red Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 That's a gift, not a 9.6. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
