I tried to follow it I really did but come on really? Do you actually ever read any of your comics? I guess not because they are probably all encased and you are too busy discecting them to actually enjoy any. Hey if it floats your boat... I currently own a grand total of 27 graded comics and about 3500 ungraded comics. I enjoy reading comics, I greatly appreciate the art - and I also like crunching numbers and playing with spreadsheets. If that confuses you, then I can't help you, but why do you have to be a presumptuous d0rk about it??? Does that answer your question?

Different strokes and all that. I'm with ya. I'm not critizing or judging any one. I guess I'm at the age now where I don't feel the need to impress anybody anymore. I'd rather spend that money on travel, experiences and my kids/grandkids than comic books. Not to mention, the wind in my face on a vintage motorcycle so far trumps finding nicks on a comic book spine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think coverless comics deserve at least a CGC 0.2 grade instead of a NG lol!! FoggyNelson and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Individual graded pages .... i don't get that and i wouldn't want one of those, but a coverless CGC graded key otherwise unaffordable ,.. yeah i could see getting one of those someday to fill a hole and it would be nice to put it in the registry for registry set collectors......

1950's war comics Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think a front cover alone without a back cover can still get you a CGC 0.5 grade but not visa-versa (i think)? FoggyNelson and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydel4 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I'm really enjoying the constructive discussions going on. It's nice to hear from others where they think the grading standard is going. I feel it's important for the collector/dealer voice to be heard, as the last time that the standards were changed/tightened/reinterpreted they seemed to be made with very little input from the majority of the collecting/dealer community. As it has been 15 years since those changes I feel that we are due for some new ones soon. My hope would be that these discussions would help to give voice to any concerns we may have. But as always if you like the look of a book and it is a price you're comfortable with paying then the numbers don't matter so much. Cheers.

Chasing the grade is a very fleeting endevor that rarely turns out well. Besides, I have better things to spend all that extra money on... Amen.

thirdgreenham Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I believe they should have the one point increments only in the 9.0-10.0 grade ranges. There are definitely 9.6s out there that should be 9.5s and some that should also be 9.7s. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more ways can a hair be split? Even OSPG only goes up to 9.2/nm- Or perhaps the splitting is unnecessary in the first place. If you argue it is, then it is the same argument for continuing to split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
