Do scores for an individual book go up over time?

[Right Wing Dave-migration]

I have an Ultimate Spider-man 1 CGCed @ 9.4 with a score of 120 points. As the years go by and if that book becomes more valuable, does my score of 120 points stay the same or does it go up?

Interesting question. Also interesting why CGC has let 15 days pass and still no reply.... :shrug:

Sorry for the delay in my response...

 

"Comic scores do not equate to market dollars. A more valuable book will in most cases receive more Registry points, but its score is not directly correlated to its value. The algorithm is also designed to enhance and encourage competition in the Registry by reducing extremes in value differences between grades and categories. For this reason a very valuable book may receive fewer points than might be expected, or a relatively common book will receive more points than might otherwise be expected.

 

Research is continuing into more advanced methods to provide a ranking system that recognizes the intelligence of the market, while offering a better reflection of relative rarity in higher grades and adjusting for market distortions. The goal of the system is to continually increase the breadth and depth of available sets, taking into consideration valuations and opinions in order to fairly and objectively apply Registry point values."

Though we will go in and review a score if a specific request is made, the initial score is normally left to keep consistency and encourage participation. If you feel that a score is severely misrepresented you can make a request in the thread titled "The Official 'Hey these scores need fixing' thread" located in the The CGC Registry section of the boards.
