UPDATE! HARDCOVER NOW AVAILABLE! Pre-Order Your Copy of ‘The Official CGC Guide to Grading. 10 10

[Ryan.]

Sweet! Now that the book is complete, Matt can get back to spending time on the company he runs. I wonder if he knows how horrifically off-course things have gotten while he's been locked away in his writing room.

I don't give CGC any more of my business, so I'll pass.  I'll check the local library in a few months.

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

According to Amazon there will be three different editions randomly assorted with three different grading scales.  
 

I’ve already preordered an acetate variant. 
 

heh 😈

Maybe the book will explain why the Regular Economy Tier submissions take over a year to get graded.

The Grading Contests have consistently shown boardies to be far better graders. Let me know when some of those contest winners write a book!

Oh I'll buy one, it's just that once again the public-facing arm of this company has failed.

Can I get a pre-order pre-slabbed copy?  I would like a 9.8 please.

[Krydel4]

I think this will open up a can of worms for them. Better to keep your grading standards secret and maintain your unaccountability to customers. 

[eastriver400]

Can it fit in a slab? I want at least one of my copies slabbed.

Get Jay Z to sign a copy for the win.  Yellow label to be a god.

Someone please buy Matt an undershirt....

Standard practice. First you create the hype and excitement. The disappointment comes later.

It can't hurt. Maybe the guide will explain the current grading scale and take some of the mystery out of the difference between a 9.8 & a 9.6 and so on.

 

 

a spine tick is the difference between a 9.6 and a 9.8, mystery solved

Step 1: Grade your book

Step 2: Replace it with Ren & Stimpy #1

Step 3: Profit!

 

So, if one orders this CGC Grading Guide book, what are the odds they'll get sent a  copy of Ren & Stimpy instead?

I know there's a copy of X-Men floating around out there. I'm ordering hoping I get that.
