Take a look at this Flash comic I got in the mail the other day off an ebay win. I think it was seriously over graded by PGX, but I'm not the best grader in the world. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love some grades on this. I've blurred out the PGX grade to avoid any undue influencing.

O, and sorry about the photos. It's late and there's no natural light. I have two pictures here, hopefully you can get an idea of the thing from them. Most of the trouble is creasing around the spine. There's a little crease on the upper left corner as well, but it's very small. The colors in the second photo are pretty much correct (well, there's not really a huge white spot in the middle of it!!!).

Poor photo #1:


Poor photo #2:


I'll see if I can't get a better picture of it tomorrow.

I bet PGX gave it a 7.5

They REALLY overgrade it could even be a 8.0 by their standards.

 PGX has no idea what they are doing, it's just one dude in his basement.  PGX is not a legitamate grading company, it is an amatuer operation that garners no respect in the buisness.  You might as well take the comic out the case unless you want to re sell it inflating the grade by representing the PGX grade.

I agree with you on that. It has put so many key issues and high-grade copies of certain runs out of reach for many collectors in the business. It used to be so easy to find high-grade copies of The Amazing Spider-Man and The Uncanny X-Men at affordable prices. Now one needs to be willing to drop hundreds of $$$s on a single issue.

And on the topic..........I wouldn't give that copy of Flash #130 any higher than a 5.0. Did PGX grade it at a 10?

IT'S A 10! A 10!!!!

IT'S A 10! A FUC*ING 10!!!!

So because YOU can't afford the books you want, that means that graded books ruined the industry? This isn't a big commune. Sellers want to maximize revenue.
