MODOK Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was thinking the same, seen higher graded books that don't look as good as these. Exactly what I was thinking. Majority of these ASMs posted above look like 9.4s to me. What am I missing? If I was the owner, I'd be pissed off! Is CGC really this strict? If those are all 9.2s, what exactly qualifies as a 9.4? Perhaps if the owner got the "graders notes" on these, there would be some clear indication on what the defects were? I'm stunned by these grades, I really am.

MODOK Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Great books... Is it me or do each one of those books look under graded by about .2? No, it is not you. The ASMs look to be ALL undergraded by .2! I really believe the majority, if not all, deserve 9.4 grades. What are the CGC graders looking at to score these a 9.2?

dillndill Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I wasn't expecting 3 hours. He is a quick sketcher and signer, so thought it would be around an hour. Boy, was I wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODOK Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Have you seen the back covers? How can you assign a grade to a book without seeing the back cover? True. The back covers on each and every one of those ASMs may have been soiled or defective in some respect. Perhaps the owner can shed some light on it.

joeypost Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The lesson learned here. "Never judge a book by it's front cover". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Town Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The lesson learned here. "Never judge a book by it's front cover". Or "Never judge a book by two dimensional scans which don't always reveal non-color breaking defects that can easily lower the grade of a book." I think I read that in Bartlett's Quotations.

asteroid-comix Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Have you seen the back covers? How can you assign a grade to a book without seeing the back cover? True. The back covers on each and every one of those ASMs may have been soiled or defective in some respect. Perhaps the owner can shed some light on it. CGC has tightened up the grading but the only thing I could complain about is that they were not "soft" graded. Overall they were pretty close... - the #56 is spot on - the #59 under by .2 - the #64 over by .2 - the #65 spot on and maybe over by .2 - the #67 under by .2-.4 (previous 9.4 and hell Nick/F_T had this book at NM-) - the #71 spot on - the #72 under by .2 - the 78 spot on to over by .2 (indent by prowlers first laser blast that you can't see in the scan) - the #80 under by .2 - the #87 spot on - the #90 over by .2 - the #92 spot on and the #97 spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
