Jesse-Lee Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Based on my performance, I have to stick with what works - which means I now have to wait until I've been warned twice that grades are due before I actually submit them. Sorry @CGC Mike... Point Five and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmoore54 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I forgot there was even a 1.8 grade. When you think about it kind of a dumb grade…hmmm better than a 1.5 worse than a 2.0 it’s a 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could argue that the CGC grader(s) whiffed on every book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payette and I have actually been known to use a grade of FR+ for our better-than-FR but worse-than-FR/GD beaters. When you think about it, 0.25 increments below 2.0 (1.0 FR, 1.25 FR+, 1.5 FR/GD, 1.75 aka 1.8 GD-, 2.0 GD) are actually a bit wider than the 0.20 increments used above 9.0 (9.0 VF/NM, 9.2 NM-, 9.4 NM, 9.6 NM+, 9.8 NM/MT, 9.9/10.0 MT) -- a region I very rarely see as an Atomic Age collector. Best of luck with Rounds 2-4, my friend! Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna put this chart up on the fridge if I can find a printer big enough. I've been off the grid running in the mountains and just saw these results. Way to grade @Point Five!

Along with good notes as a buyer I would appreciate that. zzutak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
