Okay, when I saw the chart elsewhere, it showed the "15 book minimum" for Value, plus the $200 Max Value (which I associated with Modern). So if you send them 15 Modern books they'll still only charge you $20 per book? What's the advantage of Value then? Solely for books older than 1975 that are valued at less than $200?

I think you mean it's only $20 per book in the Modern tier.  Value tier costs 27.00 per book, Modern costs 20.00 . Modern has a cutoff date of 1975.  Not sure what you are having trouble understanding = not sure what your question is ?

Yes that's what I meant, apologies (I edited the post to clarify). My confusion is why they would charge more per book when you're sending them a bulk amount (more business for them) than when you're sending them 1 through 14 books. In other words, if I send them 14 modern books, they'll charge me $20 per book, but if I send them that 15th modern book, they'll tack on an additional $7 to all of those 14 books (plus the 15th) to make it $27 each?

What am I missing here?

Hey all, hoping you can help clarify the CGC grading tiers a bit for me.

I'm mainly confused about the Value tier. My understanding is that, being the max value of each comic cannot exceed $200, it correlates most with the Modern tier. However, I would think that they want you to send as many to them as possible to grade; yet am I to understand that it's $27 per book under the Value tier (when I'm sending 15 comics, as per the minimum) while it's only $20 per book when I send one (to be graded under the Modern tier)? If so, can someone explain the logic in this?

Thanks,

Great test, great info! Thanks very much, I've been curious about this.
