Another fine unboxing. I'm just a bit jealous of how many 9.8's you have. I would like my comic room to be filled with 9.8's also. So far I have 5 😢, but the good news is that there are a few more potential candidates in my collection. Looking forward to see the unboxing of the 5 comics you just mentioned.
Another great video! I like your knew and correct title of Accurate Andy!!! This is what everyone should want. No disappointment with someone who grades accurately.
I had loose Larry on my first ASM 238 then I had harsh Harry on my second one. They got the same grade, and you can tell in 1 second which is the nicer one when you look at them. I’ve never cracked and re-subbed but I’m thinking about it!
Resend them without doing any work on them and do a 9.8 pre-screen. I've never done a pre-screen. I have wondered with 9.8 pre-screens if CGC is compromised by profits to push books up to 9.8.
I think they have certain graders who are maybe a little too harsh. I also think sometimes they give customers the middle finger just for the hell of it, so they can really show you who is boss! I would resubmit because I trust you way more than CGC at this point 😂
I coined the phrase "spine peal" a few years ago but it hasn't taken yet. Spine peal is when you see on modern books sometimes at the cover fold/staples. It's either a full spine crease breaking color or little flakes peeling off on the cover fold. Accurate Andy is a good one! 🎉
Thanks for that! And I like the spine peel thing, I may "steal" that one as well. It's something I've "fixed" on a few books by adding some moisture and flattening it down with the iron
how can so many ppl be loyal to a company whose entire premise ... entire business model ... is based on consistency ... but they are anything but consistent ... the things ppl justify for cgc is ridiculous ... but as long as return is better comic community will continue to do so ... terrible cycle

You inspired me to buy a bunch of pressing supplies and try this myself! Cant wait to see what I can do!
Nice! Have fun with it and drop me a line to let me know how it goes! improvecollecting@gmail.com

I must be getting the same grader. I’ve been getting back 9.0 and 9.2 with no ticks, water or stains

Still outstanding work. Profit is profit. So proud on how far your channel and yourself have evolved. Keep up the great content.
Appreciate it!
Funny how they talk about pre-screen 9.9 and now you get graded more harsh now since you started. 🤔
Regardless. Great job!!
IF THERE'S A LOOSE LARRY, THERE'S A HARSH HARRY!
Must do pre-screen if you think it can reach a 9.8. If not its a wasteof time and money imo
Still great books. 😊
I have learned my lesson not to send multiples of the same book. The grader will most likely compare and contrast.
Where can we see your inventory of stuff for sale? The link on your videos says that the site doesn't exist?
Looks like they changed the way the url is set up. The address is now: shortboxed.com/u/improve_collecting_comics
Thanks for catching that!
With the price difference why not send the #1 books back in? You talking about $1000 difference in price

Thanks!
It would be interesting if you did resubmit. You probably got the books in as good of condition as anyone else could have.
The problem is cgc wants to control the census and everything is subjective
That wasn't subjective grading, it was purely objective. Before he even revealed the grades for the two #1's I knew they had 0% chance of a 9.8
Would your chances be higher if you had it prescreen for 9.8?
They shouldn’t be - but with CGC it’s a gamble every single time. They aren’t they most ethical company.
They aren't supposed to be, but who knows.. I hope not
Win some. Lose some
Maybe resubmit those 9.6 #1s. A loose Larry can give you a cool grand...
I try not to play that game too much. Unless I genuinly think the grade deserved a 9.8, I don't resubmit.
I got 80% of my prescreen rejected this week. I think we got the same guy
Been that way the past few months
Ouch, yeah it definitely seems more harsh overall lately
Your videos are always at least 50 minutes too short! Imho! Wish some of my college profs were as interesting as you! Great video!
Thanks! 😃
If you sent them all in like that ya going be picky. What's 9.8 give 9.6 Not going give 9.8 . Need separate it .
Any grade less than a 10 should have notes on why.
Yes!
I’m the one who came up with the term "Accurate Andy." 2:16
I’m famous now! 🙂

@@DavidClark-vu3dw ”Spine peal" is a good one too. I know what you are referring to and I don’t think it had an actual name - until now. 🙂
@@johnnydropkicks Thanks and cool. 😎🎉

You shouldd at least resubmit the #1
