Wow Gator, how did you managed to accumulate so many BB28 in OW PQ. From my experience and what I have seen out there...the average BB28 PQ are cream/off white pages.
I admit, I typically recall most SA dc keys as being cr/ow with ow or better being the minority...
I have owned dozens of bb28 over the past few years....it is "strange" that the last 6 copies (and the current 3 I have) are all ow or better... I believe it could be the result of a few factors, maybe a softening of cgc pq stance
I see. Maybe they're being a bit generous on the cream side. The OW designation will definitely be a plus. I'm still amazed to hear six copies in OW PQ.
So many of my DC keys have cream/off-white pages I'd have a long (and expensive) road upgrading them to get OW pages. Not for nothing, but I've had plenty of cream books come back off-white to not obsess over it that much. Personally I think CGC is too free with the PQ designations. Why is it so inconsistent?
Maybe they're finally being less harsher on the PQ for the late 50's to early 60's DC's. I had a few graded recently which had an OW PQ, but white pages are tough to score for these books.
It sucks for people who have books that are OW in CR/OW slabs, considering it costs over a hundred bucks to get them regraded and CGC makes no concessions.
I had a book that was upgraded on 2 resubs. That's a lot of money spend on slabs to get to the "right" grade. But I digress . . .
