Let’s talk grading for a second. Excuse the rant, but slabbing comics is thebiggest scam in the history of collecting.I know several major dealers who have sent in big ticket books, beendisappointed with the grade, unslabbed the books, resubmitted them, and got adifferent grade that was more to their liking. Want more proof? Last year at aconvention, 4 dealers with 120+ years of grading experience looked at a bookand agreed that it was a 5.5-6.5. We all compromised at 6.0. The buyer submitted the book to CGC and somejack leg who probably hasn’t been alive as long as any of the four dealersgraded it a 3.5.

I have been grading books for 40 years and if you lookat my response, you will see that almost always my customers are very satisfiedwith my grading. However none of that is important for several reasons, but thenumber one reason is …….. wait for it ……..GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE. Iabsolutely refuse to argue with any customer on a $25 price guide book that hebought on line for $10, and he wanted a $3 partial refund because I had gradethe book Fine and he thought it was a VG+ at best! (Yes, this actuallyhappened). Yet I have been selling books online since 1997 and never once hassomeone sent me more money because he thought I had under graded a book (gofigure).

When you and I disagree on a grade, no one is anidiot, and there is no right or wrong; we simply have different perceptions ofwhat makes a book achieve a certain grade. Here’s the deal; if you buy a bookor books from me and you are unsatisfied, you may return the item for a 100%refund less only your return shipping costs, and your money will be immediatelyand cheerfully refunded. Of course if I miss something major (like a coupon cutout or a missing page). I will even refund your return postage. There is noneed to file a case with , just let me know, and I will take care of theproblem. Life is too short to make people unhappy. I do this for a hobby, andmaking friends is more important than milking customers for every possiblecent. Holla’ if you hear me, and I wouldlove to hear your feelings on this issue.Thanks for listening and enjoy my sales. Thehmain
