Guess the grade . . . Part 2

[divad]

 

For the new kids on the block . . . guess the grade CGC gave THIS book:

 

 

 

[Mr. Zipper]

I would give it an 8.5 due to that bottom spine corner crunch. I'll guess CGC gave it a 9.0.

[Monstro]

9.0?

[osborn_fr]

8.5

[Sid]

8.5

[joeypost]

8.0...I think I see some stains on the BC.

[divad]

methinks you gentlemen are very cold tonight . . .

7.5 on this jammer!

[divad]

7.5 on this jammer!

 

You guys really can't grade worth a :spoon:

 

Waiting for Action1kid to come in with a 6.5 . . .

[Sid]

can't possibly be in the 9s ?

[ronm3-migration]

okay so then it would have to be a 9.2. If that is the case I want you to send in all of my books.

 

Thank you

He must be in the same "preferred grading tier" as Nikos.

It's really got nothing to do with who sends the book in. You simply can't accurately grade a book from a scan. Many people like larger scans, but lack the skills to "read" them correctly. Larger scans always work to your disadvantage.

Yes, Peter starts at 7.0 and works his way down from there. So his 6.5, is the 10 point scale equivalent of 9.4.

In all seriousness, one thing I've learned from my JLA 61 thread is that very fine creases on a black cover are wildly accentuated in a scan. It's kinda like taking a photo of a reflective strip in the road - the flash makes the reflective strip look much bigger and brighter than it is.

 

I presume the same holds true for the spine and corner creases on your book.

Thats 8 marks I found.

If they used their magnifying glass or microscope like they were supposed to it would never achieve more than a 7.5. Just on those alone.

8.0
