CGC 9.5

 

First time I'm seeing a CGC 9.5 grade. Enlightenment, anyone?

Your eyes saw it right. A few years back CGC and Wizard had a deal for a special grading arrangement and this was a part of it.

I'm trying to put a set of these together when I can find them on the cheap.

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

Pretty neat novelty item.

 

It reminds me of this guy in my area who was advertising comics for sale on CRAIGSLIST. I call him up and we chat and it's clear he's clueless about comics - a fly by night type. I ask him about the grade of his books, because I only NM- or higher copies of the books he was advertising. He then proceeds to tell me they are all 9.7...

 

Then again, maybe he was right after seeing the DD CGC 9.5.....

Metropolis Comics: OVERSTREET GRADING CRITERIA

 

"NEAR MINT (NM) (ONE 9.2-9.7): Nearly perfect with only minor imperfections allowed. This grade should have no corner of impact creases, stress marks should be almost invisible, and bindery tears must be less than 1/16 inch. A couple of very tiny color flecks..."

This does hammer home how important it is to keep the noobs informed about the history of this hobby, certainly post CGC.

 

There's a whole ton of sometimes quite ubelievable sh!te that went on during the last ten years that bears remembering.

 

Which we could do if half the threads weren't now deleted.

Unfortunately, I can't remember precisely what I wrote, but it doesn't seem to be any different?

Rather weirdly, I managed to avoid using that in this post.

Actually, I wonder...

 

I don't think anything about my post was changed. However, deleted threads is one of my (many) hobby horses.

 

I think maybe cgcmod4 might have a sense of humour?

[Mr 9.8]

If I sent in a 9.5 to CGC for the Universal label what grade should I expect it to come back as?

Has anyone tried that?

Isn't it rather unusual for a post to be marked as edited by a mod? I thought that posts that aren't mod approved are usually just deleted.

Maybe FT is actually cgcmod4, and forgot to switch back........

Most likely a 9.6-9.8.
