3PG GRADING

[RS]

I wish 3pg used the same grading as CGC and CGG. They would get alot on submissions.

Ive never owned a 3pg book. But I thought they were NOT slabbed. I thought they just came in a sealed bag and board with grade and notes. Or am I getting them confused with another company?

yes you are, you're thinking of the grading company pop culture.

I can't figure this out either. They are using Overstreet's OLD grading standards. WTF???

Overstreet ditched them because nobody could grade consistently on a 100-point scale. Perhaps the proprietor of 3PG thinks he can grade with greater precision than the average experienced grader?

 

That's what I'm most curious about...to see if he's at all consistent. That scale builds in the chance for him to be much less consistent than CGC or CGG.

3PG's early books came without a rigid outer shell. They now have the outer shell made of plexiglass, glued together in a makeshift way.

CGG did this, but I'm about 95% certain 3PG has had the same case all along. Their web site was up several months before their service was ready, and their stated reason on the web site for the delay in taking submissions was because they had to work out some issues with the case. Ever since we first identified them here in the forums, which was before they were taking submissions, they've always advertised that same case.
