I personally think Off white on this chart is cream, and there should be a grade between Off-white and white.

 

Just my opinion

I've never seen the card on the left. There's quite a range for "off white", which I've also noticed in slabbed books. And I can hardly make out the difference between the "cream" and the darkest example of off-white. I wonder if CGC uses that card? (shrug)

Me neither --- yet, the "chipping" at the bottom of the "Brittle" tab is identical. And, no number in the margins of the middle "Brown" tab . . . is this someone's home-made/photo-shopped card? :shrug:

Oh yeah, it's the magic of photoshop. :) It's something I made a while back to fill in what I thought the tweener levels might be. Just for grins. I was thinking they should've produced it as a bookmark instead of a card.

 

Two things to remember about OWL cards: At the bottom it states "color bands represent the lowest whiteness level in each OWL range". Plus OWL cards are obsolete now, so CGC doesn't go by them anyway.

The idea of the card as a bookmark is brilliant! Maybe you could interest Gemstone/Overstreet in marketing your idea. :headbang:

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that CGC's standards have not been made public? That's really tough, since you can't see the page quality inside a slab. I guess people who submit a lot of books would get a feel for how the classify PQ, but it's a mystery to me...
