NEW 9.7 Grade coming! 2 2

[bandbsdad]

I am advocating for a new 9.7 grade to the comic book grading industry and her is why. Too many times I have examined my books and said this is a strong 9.6 but maybe on a good day I can squeak out a 9.8 from a grader at CGC (or maybe vice versa, I know a book is 9.8 but what if that grader is having a bad day and gives me a 9.6). I then look up the book on ebay in the "sold" category and notice that a 9.8 sold for say $400 and a 9.6 sold for $125. So now my profit margin is effected big time by this process. But if we had a 9.7 grade maybe the book is worth $275. It cannot be that the industry does not like odd numbers as they have a 9.9 (which who knows what that means or how they get to that grade, I myself have only gotten one 9.9 in all these years). I am not in favor of a 9.5, 9.3 etc in that it does not effect the value/price of the book as much as a 9.7 grade would. So join with me in telling the industry to incorporate the new 9.7 grade. Look forward to reading the replies!!

If that were to happen, the term “grading is subjective” would show up as tattoos.  The line is already blurry enough.  A 9.7 would remove it completely

Phew, nice clickbait title. I immediately rolled my eyes and thought to myself, “Here we go again, CGC found another way to make more money off the same books (resubs)”.

I propose we add .1 increments to every grade.

9.81
9.82
9.83
9.84
9.85, etc. you get the idea. We need more granularity and people need to know the difference between and 9.8 and and 9.82

Also, let's take CGC grading to 11 because 10 simply isn't good enough. This post approved by Nigel Tufnel

Using the dewey decimal system is all well and good, but is there a way to get CGC to properly grade and encapsulate comics like they used to?  Asking for a friend.

The CGC boards is no place for sane and reasonable suggestions. P'shaw, I say. P'shaw!

100 point grading scale

 

[shadroch]

There really was no reason CGC didn't use a 100 point scale and give books grades like 87 or 83, but they didn't and they can't change now.

They already have a 9.7 grade, it's called 9.6!

I'm advocating for getting rid of 9.2, 9.4, 9.6, 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0 and replacing them with 9.0+, 9.0++, 9.0+++, 9.0++++, 9.0+++++ and someone paid off the grader.

Spoiler

My head is getting hurt.

[grendelbo]

I think we should cap grades at 9.4.

If a book is exceptional it can be a 9.4+.

We know a 9.8 today could be graded a 9.6 tomorrow and vice versa. 9.4s aren't all that different than the higher grades either.

No, you really don't
