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.
