Hey all!
If I said I was an expert at grading I might try and sell you ocean front Nebraska property as well, but can you please look at the images and grading notes.
Do I have beef here?
If you think I do, any thoughts on how to handle it? Cracking it open and paying CGC to regrade it obviously puts me out more $ that I feel I shouldn’t have to lose if I’m right.
I’ll abide by the judgment of the jury and thanks.

Was it pressed? If so, it was probably the digital Sticker?
I also see a tear on the top Left, and some color breaking spine ticks.
So actually, you probably should not crack it and should not get it regraded.
8.0 is pretty fair grade IMHO.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
I can’t imagine getting a higher grade on this.

We have ocean adjacent property here in Nebraska. You just have to drive a while to get there, thus the 'adjacent' part of the state motto.

Also our beef is pretty damn good.

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
That's a legit 8.0 in my opinion.

It's a modern book with colour breaking crease and a tear...8.0 all day long.

Looks like an 8.0. What were you expecting?

Corner damage and tear. Given the notes and small visible spine ticks I’d say 8.0 is fair.

I suck at grading, but I think the 8.0 is actually a decent grade. One thing I did want to bring up is that the graders notes are very, very, very seldom (if ever) a complete list of all the defects. Typically, they only list the most egregious defects.

That tear by itself could make it 8.0 to many graders.

Some seriously funny responses! Informative too.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to give me their feedback and it sound like I don't beef; Nebraska, Wendy's, or any other kind.

Have an great day

BigJim, I am going to piggyback on your thread! Thanks in advance!

I would like to hear opinions on if this slab might be misgraded. I am seriously considering cracking and resubmitting but would love someone to tell me why I should not before I do it.

Oh, that is a tiny tear above the “A” on top edge.

XKonk, I let my membership with them expire so I cannot access them at this time. Hopefully someone else might be able to reply with the Grader Notes. The Cert # is 3864376011. They did mention the small tear, but I don’t recall what else.

I have seen 6.0s of this same comic on EBay that look so much worse than mine though. I was expecting it to grade in the 7.0 to maybe 8.5 range.

Thanks Brontë. The light crease is hard to catch in a camera and it is minor and pressable. It is only visible at an angle but it is fairly long. I guess I overlooked it before I submitted.

6.0 seems low to me, but I admit to being poor at determining grades. This is graded as if there are some stains somewhere.

6.0 seems pretty harsh. Is this a reflection or are there ripples on the back cover?

It is a reflection, but while looking closer at that area there is a similar very light crease going from side to side near the bottom also. Pressable.

The defects looks pressable.

8.0-8.5 with a CPR on the DD 168, not worth a straight resub as best you could get is a 6.5.
