AbsoluteCarnage Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I've seen good grading and some ebay gems before but pound for pound this one's definitely a top contender for the 9.8 grade title. I imagine since the back of the comic was probably a CGC 10.0 there was no need for a back cover scan so I didn't include that.

Popular Post scburdet Posted February 20 Popular Post Share Posted February 20 I guess the seller wanted to err on the conservative side with VF.

Popular Post AbsoluteCarnage Posted March 3 Popular Post Share Posted March 3 (edited) So the ASM 240 seller has another beauty up for sale once again quoting legit CGC #s if you check verify # the book appears and in this case the book he has listed unless he pulled it from the slab and ran over it a couple times with his car and then glued a newstand sticker on top of the Direct edition and changed the price box, is most definitely not the same book. LISTING: And then the actual book this seller has input the CGC Slab certification info for below: Why someone with well only 23 feedback but still 100% feedback would do something like this is beyond my best guess............

It gives me no pleasure to defend the seller -- I'm sure they are a chucklehead for plenty of other good reasons -- but this is 100% an ebay thing. Most likely the seller reused an existing auction for the CGC 9.6 slab and didn't know enough to change the key details. Ebay actively encourages clueless sellers to build auctions this way, by pilfering other auctions for the same item. It's dumb, and I'm sure this system has led to many a needless dispute between buyer and seller.
