nearmint Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 New eBay purchase for just under $130. Where can I get more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 A Boston Pedigree book that is also part of the Dallas Stephens collection. Would love to know how this came to be. Russ... Dallas had quite a few pedigree books in his collection, just like Nic Cage, so CGC has to recognize both the collection and the pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Just in from Brent. I hate pedigrees. They make me want to trade in my non-pedigrees for more pedigrees! Very nice book, Jeff! That`s a very sharp looking 9.2, and given the old label might very well grade as a 9.4 if resubbed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Roter used to complain that when he submitted a big stack of PCs, the CGC graders would get burned out from looking at so many gorgeous copies and start over-penalizing the books that didn`t look ultra-perfect. I used to take that like I took everything he said, with a huge grain of salt, but I`m starting to think he might have been right on this one. The other PC copy was a 9.6.

The other PC copy was a 9.6. grading fatigue! its real and its heart-breaking. works both ways: after a dozen incredibly tight glossy books, a copy with noticeable flaws looks really weak. And after a pile of VGs and Fs a 9.0 screams 9.4 to sore eyes. I dont know how CGC avoids this. Its human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I dont know how CGC avoids this. Its human nature. I`d have thought that was the whole point of having multiple graders, who are presumably grading books in different orders so they wouldn`t all have grading fatigue from the same run of books.
