Glassman10 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Another remarkable spidey. It has what appears to be a small fingerprint near the code authority label and a dent near spidey's left forearm. I'm at 9.0-9.2 You have really scored . comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicquant Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Graded slab is in a spoiler after the scans in the original post! Good for practicing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorsack Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This looked nicer than 8.5 from the photos. Did you get the graders notes? Thanks for posting all of these comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Once again, I don't quite get it. Why this gets an 8.5 and another a 9.2. You certainly have scored well on this bunch of books. Nothing to complain about, except for the 8.5 of course. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicquant Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 This one surprised me too. Reading the graders notes they talk about 2 light creases and some spine ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the graders notes they talk about 2 light creases and some spine ticks. I suspect the 2 light creases are the obvious dents we can see to the right of Spidey's arms. That alone should put it at 9.0 . If there are spine ticks, and I think I can see some on the BC photo, that would knock it down to 8.5 . So I think CGC is spot on here. I think we forget that an 8.5/9.0 can be a really nice book sometimes with minor flaws. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. A Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If everything else is okay, then no more then 9.0. Taking it to the next level, if you get it light pressed at CCS, I predict a substantial increase.... 9.4 minimum with light press----easy!

Not with the color break located by the handle in the cabinet (outside edge of front cover). Not sure why its not in the notes, but that looks light a thumb crease to me. And one of the creases looks deep enough to break color. It does look under graded. Edited April 17, 2017 by joeypost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Joe, there are actually two CBC's; one on the right edge and another on the top. They're more color breaking "scrunches" so those may cost more than a typical break. I had figured a 9.0 even with the spine corners as tight as they are but with grading as tight as its been you just never know.

When you say, "with grading as tight as its been", it insinuates changes in grading over time. All graders need to collectively act as one to maintain consistency over time.

Until the human element is removed completely, inconsistencies (while minute and acceptable) are unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well stated. ....and that is one reason why grading is subjective, as the human element cannot be removed. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
