He is right. You should always max out the tier. It doesn't cost any extra and in times like this it might be beneficial.

Don’t agree. there was some color rub and white line down the back. OP said the white line couldn’t be pressed out. So not a 9.8, not sure it would meet 9.6.

But I also think the book he got was over graded as well, and not the same book.

No recent sales for that book in any SS slabs and the 3 SS slabs avialable on ebay now are asking $250 to $200 for SS 9.4's.

Recent 9.8's and 9.6 prices for blues are strong....based on what I see, blue 9.8's are solid $200 slabs, not too big of a drop for blue 9.6's either.

Yep, you're getting hosed even at $100....can't imagine they'd offer you less than the declared value of $100 but still, that wouldnt surprise me at all tho....but one can be sure CGC monitors threads like these, I'd bet they give you the full $100 you put down. They don't need bad juju over a $100 slab, that was likely under insured to begin with, to boot.

You're right. I don't always do that, and this was one of those times.

Sorry, didn't see this. That @ thing doesn't notify.

I understand what you're saying but at the same time, the book he received was definitely overgraded.
I wholeheartedly believe the line created in production isn't as bad as the damage on the book he received.
Based on his photos alone, of course. Who knows what else is going on.

Eh, what?

That line on the OP's raw copy of UF #4 is a manufacturing defect.

The FC and BC pics the op posted look like a book that would a prett solid 9.8, or a too tightly graded 9.6.... and those are pics of the book before CCS was slated to press it.

OTOH, the copy which it was replaced with is a weakly graded 9.6.

Looks more like a 9.2 or maybe 9.4 to me....my feeling is that the 9.8 raw candidate was replaced with that gift graded 9.6 slab.

I think there's likely one crook at CCS and a second crook at CGC, working together on moderns like this.

And the fact it was a first time submitter is also just a huuuuge coincidence, they wouldnt pull this swipeout on a CGC dealer account's submission.

A manufacturing defect is still a defect. And should count against the grade. There are copies without this defect. So why would separate copies with and without a manufacturing defect be give the same grade? The book with defect is inferior.

@Drogio I couldn’t agree more. Or how about giving comics with manufacturing defects green labels? But more concerned about making flippers happy than having integrity.
