| I’ve sold them a bunch of $2-3 books over the last few years and saw the odd curveball with their grading, but this time I decided to throw in a couple of high grade books with my pile. That was a very bad move. Two comics I had graded at 9.4, from a similar batch that had been slabbed between 9.2 and 9.4 already...and they both came back as 7.5. From $20 each in credit to a little more than $3 each. Steve has said on here himself that they grade harder than he does, but man... I can’t say I didn’t know that could happen, so I have to laugh. And learn. |

That's what if feels like when you send raw books to MCS...A shot to the groin and a bunch of guys saying "I could have told you that". |

| They regularly grade weekly moderns harsh too. They list a lot of the weeklys as VF if they have 1 small defect. Most of the time I would still grade the books at NM. I have learned, if you want to sell them something, just go with slabs. They grade raws way too hard. Good for buyers, not so for sellers. | ||
