Is there an updated OWL card or similar to quickly check page whiteness?

I wonder the same thing... my guess is that they have some "in house" samples/examples... but like with other things related to CGC and grading its probably proprietary (like how they dont release their grading standards).

 

your best bet (and its not even a good one) is to crack a few of your own graded examples for comparison...

 

though be warned, some find that PQ is one of the most subjective parts of grading...

Also page color is not static. If a book was slabbed early on as white or oww, the current page color could be anything depending on the conditions in which the slab was stored. Often you can see from the edges if the PQ has degraded considerably.
