Does Comiclink waive the "grading test" for people selling pulps ???

[dekeuk]

I was always under the impression a person had to pass a grading test to sell raw comics on Comiclink.

 

Is this test requirement waved for people selling pulps?

 

Because I don't understand how the seller of THIS PULP can grade it a 4.0 when it is missing 1/3 of the back cover, and front cover is beaten up too.

Maybe it's another Comiclink qualified grade

A qualified 4.0. It would be a 4.0 if it wasn't all fekked up.

Well, to be honest, you grade pulps differently than you do comics. You should check out the Bookery's Guide to Pulps. No Near Mint, Very Fine is the highest grade attainable, Fine is the highest grade in the guide and generally probably relates to a VF comic.

 

That being said, I wouldn't call it a 4.0 either.

I agree, that is sad grading. That a GD on the pulp scale IMHO.

I believe those Amazing Stories are owned by Bob Beerbolm. I like Bob a lot, but I think his grading tends to be a bit...well... "old school."

I agree that it's over graded - but one thing I noticed several years ago when I was buying pulps, is that a missing back cover wasn't as deadly on a pulp as it was with a comic when it came to pricing. A VG looking pulp with no back cover would often sell for the same price as a G with a back cover.
