Is there any way to get an explanation of why a comic got the grade it did.

 

I had 3 comics graded and totally agreed with 2 of them. I had another early Silver key that came back with "White Pages" and was graded 8.0. I really expected it to be higher. Does CGC have notes or something like that available that would identify any defects I missed?

Actually, for the kind of info you want, the answer is likely to be no.

 

You can call CGC and get the graders notes, but they're usually quite bland. They will point out if there is something significant on a book, but they won't tell you how the grade was arrived at.

 

What you really need is a copy of their grading standards (ie: what makes an 8.0 an 8.0 and how much do we routinely deduct for this particular fault). Unfortunately, these are stuck in the briefcase with the formula for Coca Cola and the only other known copy is in the library of Satanic books that the Vatican possesses.
