ianders0n Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hi everyone! I'm trying to estimate a grade on a book I'm thinking of buying. It's been graded by a non-CGC, non-CBCS company that I honestly don't trust the opinion of. I got as many photos as I could but obviously could only get the exterior. It was marked as having Off-White pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 From what I could see, 4.5-5.0 Out of curiosity, what grade did this other company give it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 and who is this other company ..PGX? Very hard to tell from the pictures for a grade. I can only see a few defects: 1) some spine tics but not major, 2) a bit of corner blunting, 3) back looks rather dirty, 4) MAY BE a tear at top staple on back, but might just be a crease or smudge - I cant tell! Without better pics I think it could be anywhere from 6.0 to even 8.0! Februus and ianders0n 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other company gave it a 4.5 mainly for the stress mark along the spine. The seller is trying to convince me that it was undergraded and that this company is harsher than CGC. If I bought it I was planning on sending it into CGC for a regrade anyways lol. MrRoboto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianders0n Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks. I know it's super hard to tell when behind the plastic the company is EGS. I was planning to resubmit to CGC if I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that info this book is probably a 4.0-4.5 in reality. ianders0n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol Danvers is my favorite character so I didn't want to let a chance to get an undergraded copy of her first appearance slip by me. Thanks for taking a look though! grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Februus Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 It is really hard to tell from the pics to give you an accurate assessment. It doesn’t look like it was cleaned. . I think tho it is not gonna be better than a 6.0. So you may have a position if you want to haggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
