| I like how you inject that perhaps english may be a second language to me, then make an assumption like that. How's the back? Are you grumpy because of it? |

Quote:Originally Posted by MetalPSI In my limited experience with you, your syntax is usually a few beats off, which is why I sort of assumed English as a second language. I deal with many people at my work and all over the world whose first language isn't English and sometimes it can be challenging to comprehend what they're trying to say and understandably so. Like I said, no offense intended. |

| lol What do people know about me? That I can only do 15 pushups? I like how no thought is put into the motivation for the post, facts don't matter. Comedy does. Was it funny? I'll tell you, it was hilarious on this end. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego Thanks for that. Very informative. I dont think I'll be buying any CGC slabs in the forseeable future, the only three I've ever bought have had issues (my mistake buying qualified, this grade bs, and my now suspect wolverine). Sorry Stu, but your piles of CGC slabs are graded badly. Not my fault, take it out on them. |

@Logan510 Well Metal has over 4K on his vote total here so he must not be too abrasive.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer I have no interest in a CGC vs CBCS thread, I support both companies. That said, have you cracked the book open? It looks like you're grading the book thru its' plastic case. The spine "splitting" that you referred to is a fairly common production related issue.It is a result of the paper being folded over during production.A very large percentage of moderns have this defect, to varying degrees. I also do not see the "dirt" you referred to, either. |

| Referring to the 4/16 CGC slab with the "mechanic defect/creep engine" issue, that book is certainly not in that sort of case. | ||

| @shrewbeer Your passion for the hobby and CBCS is evident. Just keep firing away. Also if your not sure on something research it (there is actually a lot of useful information on different forums and websites) Don't be afraid to PM some of the people on this board also,some of these guys have vast knowledge. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by mattness Two reasons. First, I have another copy raw which will be going to CBCS at some point. Second, I bought the book already slabbed, so I had already paid a premium on the value, it's only a 2 figure book though, having it regraded by CBCS would have essentially doubled my investment in it without increasing it's value at all. Essentially I'd be throwing money away instead of increasing my investment. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego gain, I thikn you may doing yourself a disservice. The "dirt" that I think you are referring to on this book is actually part of the artwork. Here is a CBCS 9.8 copy of this book and a CGC 9.8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WONDER-WOMAN-38-CBCS-9-8-Finch-Variant-Super-RARE-last-One-/272543082775?hash=item3f74d56917:g:MvUAAOSwo4pYgVJa http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wonder-Woman-38-2015-DC-1-100-David-Finch-Variant-Signed-Gal-Gadot-SS-CGC-9-8-/371855434159?hash=item56944fa1af:g:4GgAAOSw-0xYWdGv The CBCS 9.8 book has not been taken out of the CBCS issued Mylite bag for the pics the seller gave...but after looking at your CGC 9.6 copy and comparing it with these 9.8 CBCS/CGC copies, I am wholly sure that the white splotch marks (scuffing abrasions) on the FC art of WW herself are wholly production related defects and are the norm, on this book. Also, note what looks like possibly "dirt" and/or scuff marks on the BC of each 9.8 slabbed book.Specifically in the lower right corner and in scattered areas close to the spine on the BC of each slabbed 9.8. That is mostly part of the cover artwork.Some of it is production related scuffing. As such, both books received a 9.8 from CBCS and CGC. You can also see spine flecking on both the CGC and CBCS 9.8 slabs.The sellers have not provided close up , angled pics of the spines but if they did, you would see a considerable amount of spine flecking. Send Joey at CFP a PM and ask him to weigh in on this thread. With as many books that he presses, I am pretty sure that he has worked on copies of this book. I am completely sure that he will tell you that spine flecking is a common production related defect, as well. He could press out the bend that the CGC graders' notes refer to. He would be able to tell you, based on his experience with subbing books with (varying degrees) of spine flecking, if the book had a solid chance at coming back as a 9.8, if subbed to either CGC or CBCS. It is a $350 book in GPA average at 9.6 and a $650 book in GPA average at 9.8. Just saying, I think it is worth getting a second opinion from a presser of Joe's caliber. |
