Several years back on ebay, before diversity images of various peoples took over the importance of the actual items ebay had to offer, an Action Comics #1 9.0 was featured on the front page after sign in. It was professionally graded, in my remembrance CGC graded. It was a big write up and a big deal. It actually caused excitement rather than obvious photos of people of all kinds smiling that could be an image from a medicine tv commercial, that barely represents my demographic at all. Enough of the complaint. I examined the pictures very very closely. Nowhere was it said in my memory it was restored. I could spot multiple areas of non perfection. Multiple! It still was the best copy I've ever seen, but 9.0 was a gift, and there has to be some political nonsense or payoffs in the grading business. The book sold on auction for 1 million dollars. I know I heard modern books get graded more harshly than older ones not that I agree with that. My point is are people so blind as to pay for the number when it is obvious that the number is wrong? People bust open a graded slab when they think their book gets graded too low, but if it comes back higher than it should we jump for joy.
