If I were trying to sell this, I would be more in the 1.0-1.5 range There is a difference-- so please don't act like this is a true reflection of how others grade But remember-CGC created the grading system-so their grades are the true grades. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an issue CGC is known to grade loose since it has a tough black cover? When I get books back, I usually think my 9.6's should've been 9.8s... ...and vice versa!

Treemot Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I saw the top spine corner blunting and a white spine tick in the middle of the book and guessed 9.2, maybe my seven to eternity I read is a 9.8 too Oh well I'm doing much better than last year, one year of collecting is sharpening my eye a bit! kav and Mr.TawkyTawny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes last year I did so poorly I started to just give 1.0's to NMs and 10.0 to 0.5's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial grades were 9.8/2.0...then I convinced myself the 9.8 was actually a 9.6. Thought the other one could be anywhere from a 1.5 to 2.0...but not a 2.5...hedged my range with the 1.8. Gonna take my 3s and run. MustEatBrains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
