The 9.9 grade was awarded to a large New York auction house called ComicConnect and Metropolitan Collectibles. They submit big books (Action 1 and Batman 1 for example) to CGC all the time. Dare I say it? A really good client of CGCs. This was a favor to their client, which you and I would not receive.

who is the original submitter of the book and what is their relationship with CGC? As it clearly is not a 9.9 i think it was done to create "buzz" along with the Wolverine LTD series #1 9.9's the purpose is to create a rash of new business via submissions from enthusiasts spending their dollars to chase the elusive number. I am getting weary of CGC to be honest, these graded books are just manufactured collectibles.

Very compelling evidence that the 9.9 is a misgrade. I did a similar comparison (not as a KZbinr, just privately) of the silver age Thor with a grade of 10.0. It shows faded reds with ink loss in its tradedress which looks worse than existing 9.4s. It’s an old label CGC so maybe it was the best copy they’d ever seen at the time, but that shouldn’t justify a grade of “gem mint”. You should look into it…

The community knows this isn't a 9.9 as did the original "owner". Otherwise, why would they IMMEDIATELY put the book up for auction after getting the grade? Why not hold it for a long term investment? As far as grading, I believe they are giving 9.9s out for books without any spine tears and nicely squarded edges -- and overlooking other flaws in the book. And I'm only basing that off of the 9.9 video that CGC did, where the grader primarily was looking at the spines of the books.

I think you are spot on with cover side lower staple color rub issue and whatever is going on just above that staple. It's definitely hard to say just by looking at a photo. On the back cover to the upper left of the lower staple issues is the "soiling" , if it is just soiling, that should have been easily cleaned. If I were to buy 9.9 book, it should not have color rub, soiling, and should be centered. I don't think the presser/cleaner spent too much time on the book, maybe time constraints due to the volume of books that they get, IMO. Another fine video. Thanks, Brady

I think the spine on the 9.9 is superior and that’s what CGC was focusing on. As you know square bound books typically get crushed spines. The lettering and lines on the spine of the 9.9 look really good. The 9.6 looks a tiny bit squeezed. I also think the 9.9 corners are superior to the 9.6 corners. Everything else you mention is valid but I think the spine and corners are the majority of the grade. Also factor in who owns the 9.9. I’d love to know who bought this book. The owner might have just bought it from himself to save face. It would be embarrassing if it sold too low.

I think you're right, some graders do focus too much on the spine. I'm not saying the 9.6 deserves a 9.8 or 9.9, I think they got the grade right.. but that 9.9 definitely doesn't deserve the grade it got. And I think the color breaks disqualify it right?

Also, the 9.8 has off-white to white pages, but I don’t know if that matters. This is just my opinion. Maybe there are other factors that I just did not notice or take into account.

That person who bought that book hopefully won't see your video. The psychology is that the grade on the label is gospel so no matter what you see with your own eyes the label rules. My opinion is that before you give a book a 9.9 or 10 that book goes to a minimum of 3 graders who have no knowledge of what the other graders graded it at then it goes to the head grader for confirmation. I'll admit I have no idea how many graders grade each book we send in. Is it one, two, etc. Last year I had a Wolverine 1 1988 CGC 9.8, sold it, the guy returned it because he said it wasn't a 9.8. I didn't really look at the book because I wasn't going to send it back to CGC. I resold it quickly. As annoying as it is buyers are going to have to do their due diligence by looking at the pictures if they want the grade that's on the label especially with high dollar books..
