ADAMANTIUM Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have a few that I think that would hit 9.8, although it is a far off distant sub. I guess I need to be pickier with my books Still, glad to hear it reported that there are more grader's notes now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I feel it is doing the opposite. Books I would get grades of 4.0 on are getting 5.5 today. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A squishing in the middle? I don't really do those grades, so you could fool me pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about mid-grades... I'm just commenting on modern collectors who will settle for nothing less than a 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Red_Hood Posted November 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have to agree... CGC is loose on mid grade books, almost overgrading and who they put into the modern tier grading is a flaw-nazi. Books that are slam dunk 9.8's before are receiving 9.4 to 9.6 They are hammering manufacturing defects with grader notes I've never seen in 10+ years of submitting such as "color lose on edge" on books printed where the ink didn't transfer clean to the book during the manufacturing process.

I like pie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'm convinced it just depends on what kind of day the grader is having sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 what you can do if you want a grade bump is take your 9.8 that is a 9.6, ruffle it up down to a 5.0 and submit for final grade of 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
