halasrider, you got spanked on those grades but its just because you need to learn a thing or two from the experts. What happens is that you send a comic that that you've grown partial to. So in your mind the 9.0 leaps to perfection and 9.8. The pros get this 9.0 and see it for what it is a comic with faint flaws that bar it from 9.8. You just need to humble yourself and learn from the experts. Post some big scans and we here on the boards will school your little a$$$ real good.

Jediknight is often correct. Abrasive, but correct.

Sometimes it's this, sometimes it's just not realizing that CGC has different criteria than what used to be the "consensus" for grading a book (e.g., CGC's apparent obsession with the spine and its integrity with the staple). In the 80's I believe we valued corner sharpness more. GA books were graded using same criteria as modern books.

 

CGC has altered the grading rules (now "accepted" by most of us because we have little choice) as much as they have heightened our propensity to scrutinize books.
