Interesting slab auction22248

Collector SidTheSquid private msg quote post Address this user
I've bought from this Italian auction house before and thought they were great. I was pretty surprised to see these listed though. If they're smart, the grading company will cover their social media with this auction. It would do a lot to boost their rep. Kinda funny about the graded 7.3's and 9.5's though... they really re-invented the grading wheel, I guess =D

So many sexy pence copies. I'll have to keep an eye on this. Not particularly familiar with EGS standards but would definitely love to snag a couple of those. Thanks for sharing!

Yikes!
more than a few I would like to take a run at but my own stupidity has hamstringed me for a bit

I'm hesitant about EGS though.
This was the guy who worked at a comic shop once and also once took a CGC grading test

I mean...that's two up on me and I think I do a decent job of grading based on the Overstreet guides...so maybe it's all good...just no experience myself

EGS ? I see EGC for European Grading Company.


Looked at 4.6 Fantastic Four #5. I grade this generously at 3.5

One of those books was graded 6.9. The juvenile in me finds that funny, lol.

@Spaceguy 3.5 is way too generous for that.
