fastballspecial Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 WG 1 leaves me confused. With that bottom spine how does it get 4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterrmystery Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hit 3 on the button. The Lois Lane at 7.0 seems vastly over graded based on the given defects. Wolf Gal #1 - 4.0 Aggie Mack #8 - 5.5 Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #5 - 5.0 My Secret Life #19 - 5.5 Junie Prom #6 - 6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great endorsement of using my brain to do thinking. Have you read Fredrik Backman's "Anxious People"? I highly recommend it...those who have read it will understand this tag post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator CGC Mike Posted February 8 Author Administrator Share Posted February 8 On 2/7/2024 at 3:18 AM, Get Marwood & I said: @CGC Mike Mike, you advised in its raw state that Lois had 'Moderate finger bends on cover'. The slabbed note says 'Light creasing to cover'. That's a big difference and may explain why many of us graded it much lower than the CGC final grade. Additionally, light staining becomes very light staining. Two questions: Why are the before / after grading notes different? Surely you (CGC) select the books for the contest after they have been graded (to ascertain any restoration) in which case the notes you provide at the raw stage should be the same as those in the slabbed results post? Are any of the books pressed after we see them in their raw state? This might explain why moderate finger bends became light creasing. On 2/7/2024 at 5:49 AM, zzutak said: Good eye. A similar metamorphosis took place with Book #15 (Junie Prom #6). Then: Now: "Moderate finger bends on cover" somehow morphed into a "Moderate crease upper left back cover" -- a flaw that nobody (as of this moment) has been able to point out. And did we really need to be advised, up front, that this book has a stain at the upper left edge of the back cover (a blemish that is totally obvious in the scan)? Hi guys I was able to take the time to find out what went wrong here. These 2 mistakes were 100% my fault. I was viewing the books with 1 browser, and had another open which contained the graders notes. The goal was to determine if I was able to find any defects that were listed in the notes, but not visible in the scans. Somehow, I ended up viewing notes from different books, instead of the correct ones that went with the scans I was viewing. Another lesson learned the hard way. I apologize to everyone that was affected by this, and promise to be a lot more careful next time. Here are all of the notes for the first 3 rounds, so you can see what I did wrong.
