jevlnuts Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Recently came across a Facebook post with a picture of a CGC grade of 0.4. To my knowledge this has never been a legitimate grade on standard grading scales. So I decided to look up the serial number on CGC's website and sure enough, it states that it is a grade of 0.4. Thinking maybe something had changed, I checked the CGC grading scale on their website and 0.5 is the lowest grade that they claim to apply. Additionally the case appears to be the current case that CGC is using and was graded only a month ago, 31 Jan 2020. Is there something that I am missing? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Deadpoolica Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm guessing it should've been a 9.4 & there was a typo The Lions Den and comicdonna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverseeker Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 My guess is also that this is a 9.4 that was accidentally mislabeled .4... comicdonna and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cousin itt Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Could that Maxx could be a reholdered red-label book? When cgc was doing red labels, 9.5 was an actual grade. (Edit: nevermind... apparently, if you resub a 9.5 book, it's supposed to get regraded, so you shouldn't get a blue-label 9.5).

Terrible lol. Where do you think the label information comes from? If the database has a problem, the label will have the same problem.

Turnando Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 .4 is not a number. 0.4 is a number. So is 9.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnando Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Saw that other thread with the crummy 0.5 Hulk and that label says .5 So CGC intentionally leaves the zero off of fractional grades? Wow. Bad math, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
