so tired of hearing "old label goodness"....

[G.A.tor]

I think cgc still remains fairly consistent, with the obvious exceptions here and there...

 

I recently had 15 old label books pressed and submitted to cgc (no labels included at time of submission, though I am turning in post submission)...

7 came back same grade, 7 came back 1/2 to 1 grade higher, and one lost 1/2 grade...

 

so, if they were unpressed, my guess is they all would have graded about the same or, gulp, maybe even lower

old label goodness.

[mrmyst]

Seems to me that in the past month or so books have graded a bit more conservatively.

= "Ripe for crack/press/resub" though.

= "Ripe for crack/press/resub" though.

the last batch of new labels I had done were 15 of 16 grade increases. I would say "new label goodness" is equally or greater applicable

You didn't take into account SCS.

 

Usually the bonus with old label books is that you receive a page quality bump upon resubmission. Did you keep track of that?

[Moondog]

Sounds like all these new graders are doing a good job at grading. But it can't last. If grading is perceived to be too tight - it will eventually cut down on submissions leading to things loosening up again. It's a recurring cycle...

silly doctor, pages don't get better with age

[DrWatson]

They do on Northlands.

 

What was the difference between the old and new label PQs?

well I think I have been pretty consistant for 30+ years so when I open gators grading service (ggs) you can count on consistently tight grading hehe

I was thinking you would need a name more indicative of the sophisticated expertise you would be offering. To wit: Gator's Advanced Grading

[kelholt]

I always thought that "gold label goodness" mainly referred to a higher page quality than what was printed on the label, not necessarily a better number grade.

 

Gator, with your grading company, would you start your own chat board called the GAG boards?
