low, mid, high grade /// where are the lines drawn?

[dopy02]

is there a fat middle with a mid grade 4.0 to 9.0? are the terms low mid grade and high mid grade used? where are the lines drawn?

When I read high grade I expect 8.5+, mid 6.0-8.5, low anything above fair.

My standards for early Bronze and Silver Age:

 

Ultra-High grade: 9.4 - up

High grade: 8.0 - 9.2

upper-Mid Grade: 6.0 - 7.5

lower-Mid grade:: 4.0 - 5.5

respectible lower grade 2.0 - 3.5 if no major defects like H2O/tape/big pieces out/bad tanning/etc...

Very low grade: 1.0 - 1.8 I consider these fillers.

Anything below 1.0 I wouldn't want except as a filler for a major key like FF 1/etc...

I think it also depends on the age of the book. A high grade modern would be 9.2 or above. A high grade golden age book could be 7.0 or higher.

 

How about this to start a good long thread argument:

 

HG GA: 7.0+ (7.5?)

HG SA: 8.0+

HG BA: 8.5+ (9.0?)

HG Modern: 9.2+

i think the old overstreet standards were:

 

.5 -3.0--low grade

3.5-7.0 --midgrade

7.5 & up high grade

low 4.5 and down

mid 5.0 to 7.5

high 8.0 9.2

high 9.4 and up

This is pretty much an identical match to my definition. Are we brother's Ace?
