Wow, that's bad.  They need to be doing their best work as this thing gets started, and this is a bad sign.

Here's something I've been thinking about.  If I had some super-rare sealed game, there's no way I would send it through the mail for this service.  Not only could it get lost or stolen en route, but it would be so easy for the game to incur even the slightest amount of damage on the way.  And if they're really being as picky as they claim they are, that would make it a lower grade (not to mention damage my super-rare sealed game).

On the other hand, it sounds like they're not being that picky, so I guess it doesn't matter :-S

That is the auction I won for anyone who cares.

Can't beat the price, though. Really probably in line with what I received. Kind if disappointing, though, when you are expecting a really nice copy.

If it is flawless, Dangevin, I do not see how you could get anything lower than a 95. Will post pictures of the flaws when I can just to give you an idea of what an "85" really is.

I picked up the VGA 90 copy of Cobra Triangle and I have to agree their grading is loose. I would have thought it to be maybe a NM to NM+ copy but not NM/MT. Coming from comic collecting that is a near impossible grade to achieve and even the extremely slightest flaw can knock it down from that. Its a beautiful copy don't get me wrong but not NM/MT for sure.

Haha I agree! I would sign the petition. You are the mint master.
