Jibber82 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Why would this book get a 9.8? Does CGC not take chips into account when grading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 If they feel it's a production flaw common to a specific issue, they will ignore it. Shortly after they came out, I bought 100 each of Thor 337,338, and 339 for $300 total. A couple of years ago I had about 80 of each graded. A lot of the 337's and 338's had chips out of the corners, and still graded well. But out of all those 337's, I only got three 9.8's, none that were chipped. Like they say, buy the book, not the label. I wouldn't want a chipped 9.8. A better one will come along. Jibber82 and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer because I was excited to get this book in the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production flaw or not, this book shouldn't be a 9.8 unless it was part of the Promise Collection. Jibber82 and mephistopheles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
