GRADING CONTEST : Round 4

[THE_BEYONDER]

Chill out guys! CGC beefed this one, plain and simple. Not worth beating yourselves up over. I thought I was being very generous giving it a 9.0!

 

I told Nik I was debating between 7.5 & 9.0

 

I went with 9.0 because I had the feeling that the ULC was somewhat production related...and CGC wouldn't hammer it.

more than half the folks missed this one by 3 grades and 98% undergraded the book.............

 

That's a pretty good indicator that CGC grossly overgraded this book.

 

Actually, all it really indicates is . . . "GRADING FROM A SCAN IS NOT RELIABLE, it's just interesting. "

 

 

All I know is if someone sent me that book raw, as a NM-, I would send it back without giving it a second thought. I have books CGC graded as 8.0 which look nicer than that one. Is there a Neal Adams bump?

 

I agree. Nothing against Nik here, but that book isn't a 9.2. I have 7.5s that look way nicer.

 

Isn't there a different mindset at CGC for the older books. Maybe that played a factor.

 

I gave it a 9.0. Thought about a 9.2, but my inclination was to grade downward on it.

 

I'll tell ya I missed one pretty badly in my early submission days. It was one of the Byrne/Claremont X-Mens--the one with Dazzler on the cover. Thought to myself, "I'm going to get a 9 this or a 9 that". I ended up getting a 5.5 I think. Pretty humbling. Since then, I've paid closer attention to what I've submitted and I have gotten anything less than a 9.4.
