If this is VG-, what's it take to get a Poor?

[Weird Paper]

Seriously... how's this rate a VG-?

Superman 7

[1962]

Jeez. That is one ugly VG-. Maybe the graders at CGC were hungover that day and just didn't notice the bottom right hand part of the book missing.

[Point Five]

I noticed that one...yikes. (And it's raw, not CGC-graded.)

 

I don't think I'd even pay the current bid amount.

[DR.X]

That book actually looks like it got mixed up below someones sandwich at lunch time. Wonder how it tasted?

It's Comiclink graded (says so in the description). They must be serious, because it says VG- & 3.5. I could understand if they said VG- & 1.0, that's just a mistake.

 

If that's what they think a VG- looks like, they have a great future ahead of them grading NM+ books at Mile High Comics.

It says "QUALIFIED", but it's not very clear.

So does "Qualified" = It's missing a big-honking corner???

QUALIFIED GRADE: Solid with attractive interior. 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch chunk missing from lower right affects art.

QUALIFIED GRADE: Solid with attractive interior. 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch chunk missing from lower right affects art.

Yeah, at some point it's probably better not to try to put a positive spin on a book. This is probably that point.

It could have been worse, I guess. Maybe they could have said something along the lines of "over 80% of the book is still there" or "chunk missing barely affects interior art".

If indeed this was ComicLink graded, this is a rather serious indictment of their ability to grade, and puts into doubt that everything that is considered "ComicLink graded" is as it seems.

I agree, and I think I feel slightly ill after seeing that one...

That's a fair/poor copy pimped up to VG. Reminds me of the song. A 3 Dressed up as a Nine.

[comicnoir]

Maybe they graded 3/4 of the book 6.5, 1/4 0.5 and averaged it out to 3.5?

Or maybe they were drunk.

If this is VG-, what's it take to get a Poor?

 

On that scale, a poor is what the eaten part graded--after it passed through the rat...

Why not just call it a Qualified NM at that point?

[batman_fan]

maybe they consider it the DC equivalent to "marvel chipping"

[Crowzilla]

I think that is what the "-" is for. the complete grade is "VG" and then "-" as in: minus the bottom right corner.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.
