    This is by design.  When someone's signature is awesome enough the forum doesn't allow you to ignore it.

    No details.  He just has a bunch of carp shipped to me, and I box it up together and ship it to him.  I also buy books from him and he buys books from me, and sometimes we pool orders.  We are of a like-mind grading-wise.   All I ask out of the deal is Mackintosh's Carmel and undisclosed sexual favors.

    Actually, it is probably way simpler - If you know this little about such things, don't get anything graded, as you'll likely lose your @zz.

    I was going to ask Andrew if he considers this another small biatch,

    perhaps a buttload,
    or
    perhaps a sh*tpotful? 
    He's definitely got my attention this time out with about four books here.   And yes, I might post that filthy graemlin.

    lizards2 reacted to crassus in Is it just my eyes or is this curator pedigree a little underwhelming?   
    +1 on this, imo for CGC to adopt a system (any system I guess) that offers objective consistency, several features of a raw book, including vibrancy of colour, would have to be discarded as impossible to measure- gloss, or reflectivity and colour are subjective. Creases, stains, folds etc are objective and either exist or do not exist. For me this has always been the essence of the dichotomy between technical grade (the number on the slab) and eye appeal, which is only knowable raw and in certain light. A scanner almost always makes a book look worse than it is. The book looks lovely to me, presently in the slab, I'm sure it will look even better raw, if you can afford to crack it out.
