| 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. -Paul      |

| 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?

 I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this.

| 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. |

| 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. | ||

| 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.    |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

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? |

Quote:Originally Posted by 50AE_DE 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. |

| 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. | ||
