Based on the amount of books they receive, I would assume 10's and 9.9's are graded frequently. This only matters because this book is deemed a key by some. Should we get in a tizzy when other 10's come through?

 

How likely is it that another 10.0 will come through?

 

Guess as to how long or if we will see another?

The problem with that is they have a market monopoly and more submissions than they can handle already. The conspiracy theories would look less :screwy: if they had a small piece of market share, were struggling and about to close shop, and dying for submissions. I mean come on. You could argue that more submissions right now hurts more than helps if they are already at full capacity

 

This is a good point, they are overwhelmed with grading - fact.

All good points Oakman. :headbang: Hat in storage...for now ha ha.

 

It has always been my opinion that CGC is a tight ship and a big help to the comic community. (worship)

 

It is always good to question things and discuss. hm

 

Update us with an image of this 10.0 already!!!! :headbang:

I'm going to bring up something incredibly unpopular: Overstreet's Grading Guide, Third Edition.

 

By including CGC graded books in this guide, does it not imply that these are the guidelines that CGC uses on average? There will always be mistakes and unique cases that fall outside the book; however, since CGC allowed the use of its graded books as examples of Overstreet grades, this book, de facto, contains the definitive, published, grading guidelines for CGC.

 

:fear:

 

 

Nope.

How odd; when I follow your link, just about every result states that CGC adopted Overstreet's grading standards.

 

hm I don't think that link means what you think it does.

 

Read some of those discussion threads, you'll see what I mean.

 

Here's a decent recap:

 

http://forum.stlcomics.com/viewtopic.php?t=2589&view=previous&sid=18e7926c9cafda3027a351558e39a3c2

 

No. It's very clear what they are doing.

 

"Now that the new Grading Guide has been published with quite a bit of input from CGC Primary Grader Steve Borock, Senior Grader and Pedigree Expert Mark Haspel, and Grader and Modern Age Specialist Paul Litch, there is now little difference between Overstreet and CGC."

 

When they say that the, then, new grading guide was developed with their input, it means that Overstreet and CGC have published their combined grading standards. CGC did not change its grading; it worked with Overstreet to update Overstreet standards to CGC standards.

 

Yes, the book itself contains contradictions and plain old head-scratchers but it does not change the fact that this was meant to be the definitive grading guide for what to expect when submitting to CGC. You can say the book itself is but the is the published CGC grading guidelines.

EDIT: I didn't mean to rob OP of the chance of posting this, I just saw that it was finally up and wanted to share. This is awesome!

 

I see 3 color breaking spine ticks. No way that's a 10
