Has CGC ever given a useful explanation of what qualifies a 10.0 above a 9.9 or quite frankly why either is better than 9.8?

i mean i guess the only way a 10 is given is if it literally PERFECT like if it was out of the printing press and into CGC for grading, though i agree that it is impossible in my mind that any book can be a 10 there must be at least a extremley minor amount of damage from going out of the printer being stapled being shipped out to the comic shops being paced on the comic racks then someone buying it someone taking it home putting it in a box shipping it to CGC a CGC grader taking it out and grading it encapsulating it, impossible that no damage happens from all of that

as for your question i guess what makes the difference is a 10 is literally 100% flawless perfect and a 9.9 could be 99.99% flawless  

Oh wow they do exist I was not expecting that  

Hey guys I was just wandering are there such thing as a CGC MINT 10 graded copy of an golden age books out there I mean I rarely see them for modern books so I'm sure there's no luck with GA but just curious on the topic thanks

My micro chamber paper arrived! 2,500 sheets, custom-cut, in packs of 100! 

 now that's what I call a Christmas gift

Hey guys just wanted to get rid of some books as I need the money right now so sadly I have to sell my few Stan lee sigs, these I have bought three different seller through out the years and though I have personally met Stan I would never give the sigs I got away as those are too special to me, so is it risky I don't know there not CGC SS but some of them look like his older sig (the neater legible ones) in a few of the books he signed in a horrible place but still neat pieces I have compared these to others and they don't look that far off but you be the Judge here they are

1.where creatures roam 3 signed by Stan on first splash page in blue pen nice sig

2.marvel team up annual 4 has a big hole in bottom and sig goes into a black surface which makes the last two e hard to read but still very nice sig 

3. Amazing Spider-Man poster I don't know if is the original as I have never seen that one before nice Stan sig in spideys leg legible and nice 

now to the bad ones 

4. X- men deluxe 48 signed by Stan right In the black!!!! ???? still a nice legible signature if looked up closely and the important part is it's there 

5.this one is just weird but cool in the same time it's a coverless modern age book!!!! I have no idea what issue it is and don't know if it's just missin the first wrap or the cover or what ever it's just strange but Stan did sign it why did he sign it I have no idea but it is a Stan sig anyways the guy who sold me it was beyond disbelieve too but I guess you can tell your friends you have a coverless modern age marvel book that is signed by stan  

asking price $295 shipped

i mean I actually paid more than that but I end the money and fast really cool none the less and hey for anyone who wants to own some cool stan sigs even if someone them are "less" than cool  

thanks

Looks like the only matches are:

More Fun 52 (obviously this one is too expensive to use)

Action comics 21

Adventure comics 47

All of these match the back cover art, but I don't know if the inside ad matches.

thanks i think ill try the Adventure 47 seems like the only book i would pay for just the back cover since its probably the cheapest,

Always loved Frazetta, and the Okajima pedigree is my favorite collection.  Odds of me ever upgrading this book are slim to none.

love that Frazetta cover, classic

My wife bought this one for me and I was totally surprised. The Stan Lee Signature  but this Spidey piece also reflects the Twin Towers in his eyes . Just an awesome piece with a lot of significance. 

 

Very cool

Thanks.  But let's say you want to buy a book that guides for $1000 universal.  What would you expect to pay for a married copy of that book in that grade?  same price?  10% less, 20% less?, 30% less?  What?  That's the answer I'm looking for...

i mean i guess i depends on what book it is and what person is buying it, by that i mean how desirable is it

The coverless copy is about the same or better than the one missing the centerfold, and it has all the pages.  How much does a Conserved grade lower value on a book?  Does anyone know?  It's probably not as much as a Restored grade...but I just don't know how collectors view conserved books...

personally i hate conservation as much as restoration i try to always stay away from books that have any work to them which is not original though i know many people who dont mind it as much so i guess its really up to the person, i have no problem with married books though in my mind if its original from that same issue then its fine, sure lets say a cover that is married was not printed for that book particularly but it was still printed for the same issue in the same year and month and who knows maybe that married covers original copy was printed alongside and sold alongside your coverless copy, who knows.

in my mind though if i were to choose book labels here are from what i most like to what i dont like so much

1.Universal grade

2.Qualified grade

3.Conserved grade

4.Restored grade

just my opinion...

Back in the mid-90s I bought a Superman 11 missing a centerfold.  Then I bought a coverless copy to marry to it.  The staple holes do not line up, so I never did anything with them.  What does it cost to have a book sent off and married?  And how much does a married designation lower the value?

When you marry a book you should never get a lower grade then what it would be if it was not married 5he only differnce is it will become a qualified grade instead of universal

Need coverless copy and back cover to Tec 36 also looking for pages 2,3,6,8,26,31,32of Batman 1
