J-KComics Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Yes it is almost a myth. Between Trading cards and comics.. CGC has never sent me anything over a 9.8 or over a 9.5 on a card. makes me a little peeved when I have spent 6 thousand on grading in the last few months.

To the OP, don't be surprised if you submit those 30 comics and don't even receive 9.8s. This. J-KComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are accurately assessing the condition of your collectibles, then you are getting what you're paying for. J-KComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True... but what really separate's a 9.8 from a 9.9 or a 10.... not very much... sooo the chances of sending in the amount I have sent it and not receive a 10 is a bit discouraging at times.

Are you expecting any Mints or Gem Mints? If you are, then I would suggest lowering your expectations. Then, one day, if you get one, you'll be joyous rather than, "finally". 9.8 is really the best that you can reasonably ask for. As I mentioned earlier in this thread; Gem Mint notates literal perfection. It's the rarest condition you can find. With manufacturing and handling they are inherently difficult to produce and find. In a scale that lacks any other 0.1-point difference in evaluation, I find no comfort in the 9.9 grade. You will likely be completely unable to differentiate its condition from a 9.8. IMO 9.9 shouldn't exist on CGC's scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingdom come #4 would be amazing! Kerdese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerdese Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Twenty five from my first batch have been graded. No 10’s, but twenty 9.8’s. Of the five with deductions, 2 had rubbing and 2 had finger prints. All I knew but wanted to see how they grade them. The last one was a 9.6 of Image Zero. That’s my only disappointment. Was obviously hoping for a 9.8. 15 more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
