Thoughts on CGC GRADING (((POLL)))

[FlyingDonut]

oh shut up rice engine boy!

 

get behind some FINE AMURRRICAN STEEL!

 

dream car: 1961 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in jet black, black leather interiors yeahhhhhh baby

 

OR a 1979 or 1980 International Harvester Scout Suntanner <== will pay legitimate $ for one in nice shape! if you can find one.

[Rickdogg]

My favorite cars are Euro 2nd Jap. I'd never buy an american vehicle unless it was a truck to lift and run over

[FlyingDonut]

Which European cars?

[supapimp]

63 black lincoln continetal convertible hardtop with the suicide doors, now that's PHAT!

[Rickdogg]

Porsche BABY YEAH! Have you seen these things perform on a real race course? They kick man. Nothing comes close when it comes to all out performance (normal cars I mean, not indy).

[FlyingDonut]

this one, but in black.

International Scout that was a cool looking truck/suv they always rusted out though didnt they?

[supapimp]

if i won the lotto, i'd buy every 2003 porsche 911 carrera turbo and 996 in every colour, then i would get the convertible models too. so i can drive one porsche once every two weeks. im serious

[delekkerste]

Well, if you win the lottery, let me know so I can buy Porsche stock in advance!

[Rickdogg]

Can I have a black one?

[FlyingDonut]

they always rusted out because people did stuff with them - drove them through rivers, things like that. They are stunningly cool, what all sport utes aspire to be.

[supapimp]

i love black, but for porsche, the porsche silver is too frickin awesome.....something about it, sort of like ferrari red.

[Rickdogg]

I know what you mean. That silver is something else, but is the reason why it is a common color for a porsche. I like to be a lil different

[FlComicFan]

yeah those are really cool I like those the old 70's Broncos and the Jeep Wagoneer circa 1976 as well minus that damned wood paneling that always fades. Those proto type suvs were tough looking trucks but what I really want is either a 1967 hardtop GTO or even better a 1970 Hemi Cuda oh yeah real steel gass guzzling Detroit beasts on tires

[PovertyRow]

Posted to the thread stealers - what do cars have to do with this? Or is this what we are gonna be seeing anytime something extends beyond your attention span?

[blowout]

ha ha ha

give it to them straight pov

[PovertyRow]

give it to them straight pov

 

Don't give me THAT drek you thread stealing canine.

 

And I STILL want to know why NO ONE SAYS WHERE CGC STATES THEY HAVE MULTIPLE CRITERIA.

[blowout]

"Don't give me THAT drek you thread stealing canine. "

 

thats a bit uncalled for, what is your problem?

if you can't keep your tone civil it's no wonder people don't respond to your questions.

 

[PovertyRow]

thats a bit uncalled for, what is your problem?

 

What is my problem? I screwed up and thought I was responding to Rickdog (hence the canine - thought Rick would appreciate the joke). My sincere and true aplogies to you. Definitely not addressed to you. I was on ebay and realized "oh my god that was blowout!".

 

So again - apologies.

[blowout]

no problem, easily done (just hope ricky isn't looking )

 

back to your question then,

 

"And I STILL want to know why NO ONE SAYS WHERE CGC STATES THEY HAVE MULTIPLE CRITERIA. "

 

there isn't really an easy answer to it (don't bother asking cgc as i'm sure you know, they WON'T answer meaninful questions)

although i think there is ample evidence out there to suggest that they grade differently in regards to books from different eras (cover ink depth/gloss not being marked down as much on silver & gold, miscuts/ printing defects more allowable on bronze than modern.etc).

 

it would actually be nice to see a response from steve on this thread (as we know he reads them) especially regarding the treatment of gold books (alowance of slight restoration on a blue label etc).
