Preference? Higher grade lower page quality or lower grade higher page quality?

[cbcnow]

Example: would you prefer an Amazing Fantasy 15 cgc 3.5 with slightly brittle pages or an Amazing Fantasy 15 cgc 3.0 with cream pages?

[ciorac]

2.0 with white pages

[chrisco37]

I'd prefer whichever presented better.

 

Which one is centered better?

 

Brittle might affect my decision, but if the PQ didn't have brittle, I'd take the better looking book. I don't hold CGC PQ in very high regard.

 

I've bought books of lesser PQ that were better centered over their lesser PQ counterparts.

 

Ever since I re-subbed a "LT to OW" book that came back as "OW", I haven't put much weight into the CGC PQ designation.

Ide choose the higher grade unless it had brittle pages

Generally I'd say the higher grade, but I have to draw the line at brittle pages...

[mysterio]

Yeah, even LT wouldn't necessarily bother me in a book like AF #15 but brittle pages would scare me away.

Didn't they teach you in the army to respect your elders?

I turn 38 next month, buddy. By paratrooper standards I'm a relic.

I am actually glad this thread came back. Is it stupid to upgrade books that are of the same grade solely for page quality? I am talking about going from off-white pages to white pages, nothing beyond that? Or is that too minuscule to even bother doing?

I'm 47 and just reaching my prime.
