THE_BEYONDER Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If a defect isn’t visible through the slab, there should absolutely be a graders note about it. If the defects are visible? Lirion, theCapraAegagrus, Poekaymon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon760 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 OR they're doing it on purpose so as to not establish a STANDARD, which would have to apply to all other 9.6 comics. This would incur more work and time and effort. Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No graders notes were made available, which I am a little confused by. There was also a 9.4 and 9.2 in the same submission with no notes. Thoughts? Good! They can grade faster. No one needs notes on a 9.6. The usual 9.4 and up graders notes are: "stress lines" Which from looking at your picture is actually what I see.

Poekaymon Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 On 3/16/2022 at 9:14 AM, theCapraAegagrus said: Good. It's a waste of time to include notes for most books in the 9.4+ range. That's, like, your opinion, man. Here's another one: on the contrary, 9.6 is the one grade that should always have notes. (And, I actually have gotten a fair amount of notes on 9.6s.) For one thing, 9.6 to 9.8 is usually, if not always, the highest dollar value jump. Informationally, I don't care if a 9.2 or 9.4 has no notes--I should have been aware of the defects anyway. But there are actually a lot of times where a 9.6 looks same (or better) than a 9.8, and it'd be really nice to see what, in CGC's opinion, prevented that book from being a 9.8.

NewWorldOrder Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I started to put a sticky note on the 1st book of each of my CGC invoices saying this: "Please refrain from inputting any CGC Grader notes on this invoice as they waste your time and my time. Thank you and enjoy grading books that actually make sense in a CGC Holder."
