2018 Green Eggs Grading Contest -Final Round
flashlites replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I graded detective comics 9.4 because of the Browning on the back cover. I guess that does not matter? Would have graded it even higher. -

I went with 5 and 9 trying to be generous more generous than I would normally be. It seems that over the course of this I tend to grade much tighter. Especially when it comes to stains and discoloration. I am trying to calibrate my grading with the CGC. I still have a long way to go. And one more round. Maybe I'll nail it? I have 5 bullseyes so far. I'd like to get a couple more before this ends? -

Very enlightening! Great lesson to learn. -
2018 Green Eggs Grading Contest - Round 6
flashlites replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Its a good lesson for me because the grading guide reads like this defect is not allowed above 2.5. It's seems as through its more like a deduction rather than a hard line. This makes more sense given the CGC grade. -
2018 Green Eggs Grading Contest - Round 6
flashlites replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I must assume with a 6.0 grade that the centerfold was firmly, very firmly attached at one staple lol! Maybe the pages were white as the driven snow ? and the angles sung to thee as one flipped through the pages. ? Can a 7.0 or 8.0 book have a detached centerfold? I would like to know, learn and improve my grading. Its my whole reason for entering. -

If G.I. Joe was only detached at one staple that would explain a lot. When they print those labels they may not tell us how detached the cover or centerfold is? Maybe third green ham can shed some light? -

In the grading guide a book with a detached centerfold can't grade higher than 2.5 unless there are attributes that out weigh that defect. I did not see any such attributes. The front cover did not look much better than a 3.0 to me. Maybe the CGC should put out their own grading guide? Maybe they have one already? -
