Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 Seriously, that's not amateur coloring. Whoever did it had some skills and applied them. I say it's more desirable with that kind of quality work. grendelbo, Sillydiabetic, The Lions Den and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be intriguing to see what a nice coloured page vs a not nice coloured page vs an "old" coloured page (assuming CGC would care if it appeared to have been coloured a long time ago or recently) would grade. Personally I am in the camp of 5.0 for this book....there are some that I feel are much lower. But a messy coloured page I would personally drop to a 4.0 I think you're in the right range. Any way you look at it, there's a VG in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djzombi Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 For most of you to say that an entire page defaced from top to bottom with a foreign substance would still net a 5.0 just seems crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This would seem a candidate for a qualified grade, though I suppose the same could be said of a puzzle filled out, though that seems less obtrusive. I see a few places where the image was colored outside the lines, so that might impact the grade a little. gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions Den Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Since this topic has received so much attention, I'd add that a lot of times something like this boils down to a judgement call and what you're comfortable with. Another thing to keep in mind is whether the flaw or flaws are allowable in the grade range. For example, I've seen books with a 2" tear in one of the pages still receive a grade in the upper VF range. For me, that's pushing it too far and I wouldn't be happy if I discovered that particular flaw in a book that was graded 8.5. But I really can't see any reason why a neatly colored in coloring page shouldn't be allowable in the VG range... silverseeker and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would of course depend on the condition of the rest of the book, but my sense of it is that this wouldn't affect the grade much. However, if I were selling it, I'd make note of it for any potential buyers... silverseeker, Randall Dowling, THE_BEYONDER and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Only 35c Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I've asked a similar question on books with puzzles completed/ink on interior pages in the past without a satisfactory answer, so have submitted a high grade book recently with this to get a gauge on the impacts. Will update this thread with results in the hope we can get an insight. silverseeker, THE_BEYONDER and gadzukes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems we have an answer courtesy of this ebay listing for Captain Britain #8 (I have a similar high grade book in for grading with puzzles filled out too). Look like these books will receive green qualified label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, for books above a certain "otherwise" grade. The questions (as always with CGC) are: (1) what exactly is that grade threshold; and (2) are there any other conditions/requirements (aside from grade) not immediately apparent from this single example. I have dozens of examples of mid-grade books with crayon and/or ink markings on puzzle pages that have been awarded Universal Grades and encapsulated with Blue Labels. Here are just a few: I'm always hesitant to draw any firm conclusions about CGC's grading rubric on the basis of a single example (since CGC graders have been known to occasionally deviate from the company's own "generally understood" standards). Hence, anyone with other examples of crayon-marked books being encapsulated with Green Labels (because of the crayon, not some other "qualified-eligible" defect like a detached or married cover) should feel free to share 'em here.
