What used to be a VG they now seem to grade as a Fine. 

Overstreet, OTOH, has not changed their grading standards

OK so this needs to be broken down....... its true.........

This is very true and I would like to know why they cognizantly chose to do this at some point?

I have an opinion........... They want to say Bob Overstreet is a Bum..........

we are better......... we know the real deal not Bob

What say the crowd? Once they defeat Bob then Doom and Skull is next.

They take our comics..............

What about OLD Skool New Bag Technology? Before Slabbing we pressed in the bathroom for moisture and then placed the fresher comic in a fresh Robert Bell Bag and Board!!!!!!! I would grade the comic as well............

I did a good job compared to what they do today albeit my volume was suspect compared to CGC

I'm trustworthy? I can grade? Why does a child grading at CGC have more clout than a 60 year old who sniffs paper for a hobby?

How could that be?

i've peeled so many browning robert bell bags off the comics i no longer have! and some i probably still have, lol. anything good has an acid free back board and a mylite.

I know - its starts out as disgust..... then you get the comic out of the bag and you are mesmerized by it and forget all about old Robert!!!!!!!

You cant believe this came in mail from Rogofsky!!!!!!!!
