| Anyone have guesses as to what happened here? https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=55959256 https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=55892287 Same book, the MCS-graded 8.5 went for close to double the CGC graded 9.0. Even counting on MCS undergrading, that's a heck of a jump. |

| @xkonk - That 8.5 looked pretty good in the large-scale pictures. So at least a few people thought it would grade a couple of steps higher. The cream to off-white pages on the 9.0 also probably turned off a few potential buyers. I have seen this happen quite often, where a lower graded raw sells for more than a slightly higher graded slab. What ever happened to a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush? |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| @GAC - if I were bidding on those I would definitely gambled that the raw would grade higher at CBCS compared to sending the cgc in to CBCS for crack & grade. | ||

| What @esaravo @Scifinator @GAC said is the only thing that makes sense, but it's a heck of a reach on the raw. The CGC 9.0 sold basically in line with gocollect and MCS data but the raw sold like a strong 9.4 (like a 9.5 if that existed). Two people bet a lot on those scans not hiding anything. | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| @drchaos looks like that Giant Size FF 4 is finally hitting it's stride. In years past I picked up 7 or 8 low to mid grade copies at conventions. I also picked up a CGC 8.0 from MCS back when I first joined the forum. Up until recently it's stuck out as one of my few spec books that didn't pan out. | ||

| I just received my Avengers 257 (first Nebula) in the mail today from an Ebay seller. I have to say I witnessed a miracle...... It arrived in a paper envelope (not a bubble mailer) in a mylar bag with no backboard, with a single piece of cardboard in the envelope for rigidity and on top of that the comic wasn't even taped to the cardboard.....it was just freely moving within the envelope........not only that but it was also shipped internationally from the US to Canada! The miracle you ask? The comic was miraculously undamaged!!!!! It was the worst packaging job I have ever seen for a comic and I am still amazed it wasn't damaged. Feel like I should buy a lottery ticket or something lol. |

Finally got my hands on a old McFarlane signature. I hope it has the webstamp on the back but comiclink is a pos and never posts back covers.  |

| Comiclink doesn't show a back pic because they don't want everyone to know the graded book you bought has been baptized by their sticker. | ||
