Why's Everybody Dumping..???

[Shakespeare]

No, you're missing it again.

How can I miss it if you haven't thrown it yet. I can't miss what you didn't say, as you keep adding rules to your definition, like...

what I'm referring to is OBVIOUS printing and PRINTING ONLY flaws, things that could ONLY have happened during the process and are identifiable as such.

Now you've said it...

Let's say we're at the printer. We are seeing them come off the presses. Barring any huge, obvious flaws, you're saying that every one of those is a 10.0? Even the one with the 1/4" crease, which CGC certifies (and OGG would agree to) as a perfect 10.0. So you'd choose that 1/4" crease over the one that is also still laying on the presses that I've given 1/8" crease to? But it's more damaged than the one I touched!

I guess I'd rather go by the spirit of the law than the letter...and that's why I think comics can go media mail.

Unless you grade Greg's Rai #0 a 9.6 (do you?) it would never happen.

If I we're selling it, I'd say 9.6 and let the buyer be happy.

We're really not that different...in fact, we're really only arguing about the differences between 9.8 and 10.0. I think (and you can burn my butt with OGG "subtle bindary defects" all you want, I probably deserve it and should be held accountable) that a comic with no wear gets a 9.8. Only perfect bindary can raise it higher.

are they valiants [which you sent to CGC]?

Two...a CEAR and an Armorines #0 Gold. I've written down the grades I think they'll get and will let you know when I get them back. The rest were, off the top of my head, X-Men #248, 256, 268, Terminator Burning Earth #1 (first Alex Ross in comics), Preacher Preview, DHP #24 (origin Aliens), New Mutants #87, uhhhhh...ASM 316...uhhhh, one more...uhhh...

Some are you are laughing, but hey...them's whats I gots! (that I think are high enough grade to make a few bucks on)
