CGC vs. PGX

[comicdonna]

Well as I mentioned earlier, I treat PGX like it's a raw book. I asked for hi res front and back cover scans. Upon recieving it, I could see nothing that would make it fall below a 4.0. I also predicted a PG bump. It was a good deal at 1K.

2 for 2 CGC graded tighter.

 

looser on pq of one of the first two, and on the third as well.

[Straw-Man]

You mean like this?

 

you did good, with cgc giving you a nice bump on pq. well done.

Thanks, Billy!

Thanks, Billy!

 

you're welcome, and that is one cool cover, i might add.

cgc knows how to grade page quality...pgx goes by "color" in my experience...

No, this isn't another thread about which one is better. Well, not really. I have half a dozen books I had slabbed by PGX back in my naive youth. I recently cracked them out and sent them to CGC and just picked them up at the PO today. Thought people might be interested in the differences. All of these books were bought by my dad so I knew ahead of time there was no restoration - this is strictly about grading.

 

 

 

 

 

When I read the heading for this thread, I thought this could be fun. I panned down the image, checking out the PGX book and grading it as I saw it. My first thought was "over-graded". I thought the DD could not be higher than a 5.0....continue to scroll.....bingo!

Scrolled down.......called a 4.5 as soon as I saw the back cover.

 

I am 2 for 2. I know that I have no actual prrof that I am getting them right.....just my word. Man PGX can truly screw the pooch.

3 for 3....honest to God.

That's awesome. I just bumped 4 old threads in the grading forum for the other slabs i got back from CGC in the same batch. You can post your grade if you want and I'll put the slab scans up in a bit.

Missed this one...called it a 5.0....but the staining on the back looks more serious on my second look.

Daniel obviously overgrades GA books. But all my PGX Moderns that I sent to CGC have com back Higher.

And finally....

 

 

 

 

 

Got this one too....thought PGX was right on.

 

I was 5 for 6.....so was PGX.....5 for 6 over-graded.

 

Nice books anyway though. Thanks for putting them up danny.

3 for 3....honest to God.

 

 

i believe you.

but 1/4 grade falls into acceptable tolerance to me, and can't be really used for any qualitative purpose. i truly believe if you sent books repeatedly to cgc as a test, you'd get quarter-grade variances on the same book.

Nice thread. Good to see a lager batch of books being compared as a whole rather than select books.
