Your preping us for an incredible gift grade, by the sounds of it, 7.0-7.5

 

I know. I thought about not saying anything and letting everyone have their actual opinion, but I couldn't help myself.

 

Here is the link to the actual scan that really shows the damage this book has.

In my personel collection, I would grade this book a 5.5

 

All this being said, I know a book that doesn't deserve the grade gets through every now and again. But I think the concensus was a 5.5-6.0 on this book.

 

Does anyone think as time goes on and the graders CGC uses get newer/younger generation, that the CGC grades or standards change?

 

I've seen a lot of books on here in the last several weeks that we all graded 8-8.5 and came back from CGC 9.2-9.4's.....Has the grade criteria changed and I don't know about it?

TOMAHAWKED! :pullhair:

 

Looks just like the Tomahawk in the grading contest that CGC gave a 7.0 (spine wear, furry at staple, etc). If anything, that book appeared to have even more flaws than this one does.

I can't make the scan any larger as it is borrowed from another site. Spine wear is worse than it looks in this scan... :sick:

 

What am I missing? Why are we guessing the grade of Trey's slabbed midgrade TOS? (shrug)

7.0 may be pushing it a bit, but I've seen others just as bad. Honestly, it looks like a 6.0 to me, and given the subjective nature of grading, that's within the range of rational grading ( if a bit on the loose side). Another example of why a given 7.0 shouldn't automatically be worth a huge premium over a 6.0.

Just added this scan.

 

The Tomahawk had more horizontal stress lines on the spine if I remember. This book ( Suspense 63 ) looks better to me.
