2017 Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 4

Well, I can assure you that if there were any notes on the label, such as 'cover detached' or 'centerfold detached', I would tell you. I would also comment on any kind of major flaw that wasn't visible in the scan, like spine is split 3/4 of the way up the book. Although still very important, I wouldn't be describing any minor flaws like 1/2" tear on right side, 1" spine split at top, etc... The saving grace will always be that you all are going off the same scan and the same information that I am giving you. So, it should still be considered an even playing field. With all of that being said, you still can't grade a book from a scan. To properly grade, you have to have the book in hand. In this case, this is just an exercise of fun. -

If you're off by 3 or more points, you will score -1. The "mods notified" thing is just a long standing joke. The mods are never notified. -

9.0 to 9.4 is off by two grade increments. 5.5 to 6.5 is off by two grade increments. While this may not seem fair to you, this is the numbering system that CGC uses. In this case, it's only fair for us to use this system as well. If we used the 100 point system, then yes, you could guess 5.9 and potentially be off by .4 on those lower grades.- 132 replies

2017 Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 2

The Western Thrillers book was very solid in hand. I felt it would be a 6.0, maybe a 6.5, but that scuffing on the bottom spine f.c was the major issue with it. In regards to the Astonishing Tales, I felt there was a chance I would get 9.2. So, obviously very pleased with the 9.4. The defects don't show badly when the book is in hand. Looks like many did well this round. Excited to see the results thread.- 132 replies

Can I Submit Books to CGC for Reholdering At a Convention?
thirdgreenham replied to Ryan.'s topic in Comics General
I don't know....can you? -
I'd have to agree with Westy. Assume the books were pressed. Not all of them were, but some or most, likely were, so it's easiest to say assume they all were. I just leave that sentence up in the rules, year after year. I really don't know much about dry cleaning, so I wouldn't assume anything was dry cleaned.
