Hold me back ! <| sep |> you can tell from the font . <| sep |> I agree that it was a horrible lapse in judgment and do not defend that what spez did was at all right , but I ' ll give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he really just reached a breaking point and did something stupid . I ' m not worried that this is a site wide issue or something that will happen again . If it happened to a crowd any less self righteous than td there wouldn ' t be nearly as much drama <| sep |> Ok great , thanks ! <| sep |> Getting a comic graded by a company like CBCS , CGC or PGX takes the guessing out of the comics collectable value . Its graded on a 0 . 1 10 and obviously the higher the better . Graded comics typically sell better because the buyers don ' t have to trust the word of the seller and know exactly what they are getting . This comic ungraded would probably sell for $ 500 and the 4 . 0 grade isnt the best but it increases it ' s value to ~ $ 1000 .
