I recently made my first submission to CDC which included 6 modern books. I’m dumbfounded by the grades received.
I’ve purchased many graded books from eBay and thought I was familiar with what would grade high. I had one book, 20 years old that I bought from a basement sale grade 9.2. A second book that I bought myself, bagged and boarded from a shop, that has never been touched grade as 8.5. Encapsulated the 9.2 looks worse than the 8.5. The graders notes on the 8.5 day nothing about interior defects so I don’t get it.
