    I don't think "soft" or "hard" grading would bother me much if it was across the board--but it seems crazy to me that people can just keep re-submitting the same books and get a 9.0 one time and a 9.6 the next time and then an 8.5 when they send it in hoping for a 9.8 instead of the 9.6.  That removes the standard of objectivity as well.

    Soft or hard, it should ideally be consistent across graders who are contemporaries.

    The only thing I care about is consistency. It's been an issue since I started submitting 20 years ago. A 9.8 20 years ago should be a 9.8 today.

    Looks like submitting comics is kind of like playing Yahtzee...  You roll a bunch of books through the process, and keep the ones you like, re-rolling the ones you don't in hopes of getting ones you like next time.  And CGC, like good fair dice should, accommodates the Yahtzee players by often giving them better (or worse) grades the second (or third) time they're rolled, keeping the excitement for the game as keen as can be.

    This is 100% accurate. I had one submission late last year that had 12 rejects on a 9.8 pre screen. I did nothing to those 12 books and resent them in for another 9.8 pre screen. They all came back 9.8 except for one in the next batch. I guess CGC made an extra $100 off of me in the process from the reject fees.
