[@garywoods3196]

Awesome books to see tonight.

[@rudytt]

Thanks for sharing Kevin. Congrats on your sub milestone; here’s to reaching 2000 in no time! That Jim Lee print is gorgeous!

[@jemairemungin3156]

Huntress #1 and Incredible Hulk 271 in 9.6s, gorgeous books great job Kev

[@peterg167]

Congrats on 1.51K subscribers. That Jim Lee print looked sharp when I saw it in your shop this past Saturday

[@que2608]

Appreciate you

[@threebeeman]

I would guess all the new graders are doing the moderns and all the ones with experience are doing the pre 1975 books. Keep up the hard work.

[@michaelmorris1858]

Could it be that some of these 9.4 / 9.6's have issues on the inside that could be knocking it down? I wish they would include notes for free to explain...

[@dannyodum46]

A little too much consternation

[@colinsmith1071]

9.8's and 9.6's are the same bloody thing now for CGC.

[@Nokomisclub]

I was about to send some books to CGC until I saw this video Straighten up CGC

[@ericwilliams1845]

As a non 9.8 hunter, I’d be ecstatic about 9.6 on all of my higher grade books personally

[@samuelt467]

I have been in the shop. Print looks nice in person.

[@waydef71]

I get the feeling you’re taking those 9.6s personally? 😂

[@benzn3]

Is it possible that there are one or two graders that are harsher than the rest when going through a submission? I keep hoping my submission goes to someone that is a bit looser on grading.

[@comicdoctor]

i think perhaps!!

[@canadacomicguy2093]

Have a quick question when a book comes from the distributor and has a white cover page because the cover is glow in the dark white cover page is stapled on If you send it in to see cgc do they take that page off?

[@comicdoctor]

the cover page is protecting the cover? if so...the protector page is removed. just like books being removed from polybags.

[@daviclar867]

Hey Doc. What was the name of the new evolution slab cgc came out with around 8? Years ago where it appeared there was no inner well and the book looked like it was encapsulated in resin.

[@comicdoctor]

That didnt last long..

[@delaney64]

Great video aas always. Could all these 9.6's be something on the inside of the book maybe?

[@comicdoctor]

Hmmm. .could.be but doubt it.

[@Hectekk]

I’m having same experience. Moderns coming sooner but at least a whole grade lower than I estimated. Horrible inconsistency.

[@eprohoda]

superr ,bro. 😉

[@daviclar867]

Cool books. I finally got ahold of Jose at cgc, that sob! Will get my books next week! 14 cgc 9.8s, most newsstands including Venom Lethal #1, 2 copies of Ghost Rider glow in the dark, Spawn #6 and #7, Xmen #161. Off the top of my head. Some lents, etc. Just sent in as is.

[@ragmancomics2418]

I never saw that Barbie #1 before

[@thomasgrant3842]

These grades have me worried about my books. CGC grading seems off these days

[@nick1701c]

I think I see the real give away for when you hit 2,000 subs. That's gonna be the "Great Barbie Giveaway. lol

[@jamieknott8862]

Where all the 361's

[@ronaldbourgeois1255]

Would slabs from a few years ago have waviness.

[@comicdoctor]

They might...depends how they are fitted in the inner well i believe...and the inner wells have changed over the years as well as the slabs themselves

[@marcocoletta5101]

They could at least give grading notes... I think whats happening is the market was flooded with current books and CGC was giving out 9.8 like it was going out of fashion last two years. So now that books are crashing (well on a down turn) it's hurting that over all worth of the 9.8 grade. Since there is no way CGC is going to start compensating with looser standards for 9.9 and 10 they're tightening the standards for 9.8 maybe hoping to shore up the 3:1 value for 9.6:9.8. That my view anyway, but as I said at the start they need to give out note for every book or eventually it just become arbitrary grading without reason.

[@comicdoctor]

Good theory Marco....i have been hearing from others that they are also seeing a crazy amount of 9.6s....

[@stacysings1972]

The Jim Lee print looks amazing. Too bad about the waviness in the slab. Two questions- Is the 9.8 rarity a recent phenomenon and what approximate percent of the slabs have the waviness issue? Great show, Kevin. Thanks for posting.

[@comicdoctor]

the waviness seems to be appearing more frequently, unfortunately.

[@papi-sauce]

Why so short

[@comicdoctor]

Prerecorded...no.chats.

[@bruh_hahaha]

no graders notes?!? 😡

[@comicdoctor]

On 9.6...not usually
