[casey1870]

I've seen a few people around these boards make fun about off grades like 9.5, 9.7 well I found a co. that issues these.Hey they're pretty accurate, they're called Accurate Comic Evaluators .......

CGC issued a few 9.5s.

These really are not "off" grades. They do exist. They are just not part of CGC's incremental scale. If CGC wanted to grade all books above 9.0 in increments of 0.1 then you'd see them, just like the 9.9s. By the way, Rob is referring to Wizard First 9.5 grades.

Accurate Comic Evaluators is also the same company that sells their own graded books. So much for being impartial.
