lostboys Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've done a few reslabs and they pump them out pretty fast compared to getting a book graded. How about a cross grade? Are they treated like a normal grading or is it faster because they have a grade to work with already ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I would say that the process is quicker but the priority level isn't as high. Make of that what you will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony S Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The graders have no information on the book they are looking at. They don't know who it belongs to. The graders don't know if the book was previously graded. This is done to ensure impartial grading. Crossover grading is a bit cheaper and a bit faster because CGC wants to stick it to the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since the graders do not have a grade to work with. All cross grades are unslabbed before being handed to the grader, same for people asking to unslab their comic, press it and regrade it.

I was kind of hoping they took the current grade as a starting point. So...I sent in a 9.8 that was graded by the other company who's name also starts with a "C". Its a first gen slab and I thought it was time to get it out of there. How far off were they as far as grading back then, in your opinion? Should I be worried?

How far off were they as far as grading back then, in your opinion? Should I be worried? Anything could happen, especially if you are asking them to handle a sealed book (meaning one department has to take it out of the slab, and then send to another department who then grades it). THERE IS NO STARTING POINT, the grader is sent the book without knowledge that it was ever slabbed before. It could some back 9.8, 9.8, 9.4, 9,2, and on and on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a good reason why CGC is the clear #1 option over the other fellas and I'm guessing it's cause the others went wrong somewhere.

I pictured a couple guys sitting I'm a room waiting for a slabbed book to come through the dept...while everyone else is busting their hump grading books after book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
