Hey! New CGC labels WILL have an alpha grade IF...

[Verbow]

...you're submitting 10.0 Gem Mints. Come on, tough guys, stop complaining about that new label and just make sure your books are perfect.

Yep, CGC uses an Alpha Grade when it suits them. Great lesson in absolute power.

Hmmm... well, ALL my comics are Gem Mint 10.0 if you qualify them enough... can I get the green qualified label on all submissions, with everything graded Gem Mint 10.0 (Q) ? I think I could live with that...

How wonderfully consistent!

 

I notice that the page showing their grading scale still has the old terms on it. No Gem Mint, either.

Quick...what does 10.0 mean....

 

 

OK now...quick...what does 5.5 mean....

 

 

Yup...we need that Gem Mint clearly specified alright...

I'm going with...

5.5 = 55% of 10.0

...unless you're referring to monetary value, or any other real-world translation of those figures, of course
