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

No, they will not unfortunately  Edit: I did hear historically that PGX would grade erotic covers (ie. Savage Dragon erotic cover) so if you really want it graded you can try them but I think most people would rather just keep raw lol |

| If you are referring to the issue #1 & #2 second printing erotic variants, I would bet there is almost a zero percent chance that CBCS would grade them. The only way to know for sure would be to contact CBCS in advance. I suggest you do so before submitting them. |

| We kind of covered this a couple weeks ago The conclusion was to take a picture or scan and email it to CBCS for approval. I just haven’t done it yet. I have those and they are a quite risqué I would definitely get them cleared beforehand. If not there are a few places (comic skin) That sell holders with nice looking blue labels. If you want to encapsulate. |

| Just found it odd seeing some of the stuff CGC HAS graded and then get told no on that issue. But its whatever in the end. | ||

| @ryanhicks PGX will grade it because the grader will miss that is has an erotic cover like all the other things they miss in grading! | ||

| If CGC won't grade it due to it being an "erotic" cover, I'd say there's no way CBCS will. CBCS would not grade the full nude Sad Girl Psycho Baby #2s, but CGC will. | ||

| Keep in mind that in the workplace, adults don’t have to be subjected to things other adults do not find objectionable. And employers have to very careful of creating a hostile work environment even if others do not find it hostile. I used to see centerfolds displayed around workplaces in my various fields and locations of employment, no more, pretty much. |

| Seems like that is just giving money to competitors in not doing that. I mean. They’re not making them. Just grading them. | ||

| It attaches their name and in some way perhaps endorses the content or at the very least the PERCEPTION is CBCS endorses the content. I completely understand why a company would choose not to grade these books. | ||

| Exactly. And they’ve been pretty consistent. Some nudity is allowed, just not anything that would be considered explicit. Not sure where they fall on full frontal, but I’d imagine it’s a case by case basis. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slimI think there's a gratuity component to it too. It the image is telling some sort of story, or in context nudity makes sense. Versus just a naked person for the sake of having nudity. I also think they let it slide on much older stuff that has more of a historical component. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I don't do hypothetical. They (both CGC/CBCS) are impartial grading and certification companies where is the impartiality when they start deeming what is politically correct or not? If it is how they define there services they should be more akin to their own vision and objective. |

| I seem to recall a book listed by a member that mentioned the swaztika. My first impression was, damn I cant believe they graded that. So the argument of being guilty by proxy does take effect. I found the book I was referring to on Google images.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I thought about this book in regard to this thread. I new it had been graded. it'd be interesting to know what this book is actually about. I would bet a whole lot of money that nazis are not portrayed in a positive light hence cgc grading it. I would be shocked if this is a pro-nazi story. |

| @GAC People like my dumb ass dont often look deeper than the cover. As usual common sense prevails. Hansi: The Girl who Loved the Swastika is an American one-shot comic book, published in 1973 by Spire Christian Comics and drawn by Al Hartley. It is a story set in Nazi Germany in 1938 that condemns Nazism and Communism and promotes the Bible. It is based on the real-life story of Maria Anne Hirschmann |
