Captain America Comics Issue 12 Horrible Inaccurate Third Party Grade Of Very Fine 8.0 Golden Age

Captain America Comics issue number 12 from 1942 during the Golden Age Of Comic Books sold for over $5,000 via auction this evening.  A third party grading company declared it to be a(n) very fine and 8.0 (4684147001).  There is a piece missing from the cover.  How can this comic book be a(n) very fine and 8.0 with a piece missing?  Third party grading is snake oil.  People will defend these companies by saying "that is what they said".  Complete nonsense.

I dedicate this post to Craig Dawson ... RIP.  This is the first of what will be many posts exposing these grading companies.
