After finally seeing the Last Jedi -- and to fault of BB-8s performance --- the Star Wars avatar has to go. Also some other goof started using the same avatar which I noticed in that thread--- sorry bub, back to the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your comment above, don't pretend to know what I do and 'don't understand' about the grading scale. I have been in this hobby a long time. I'm not the one who wrote that they should have stuck to "a 1 thru 10 scale, no 'point' what-evers" for a grading scale with 25 points. It's very clear that you don't understand. If you've been in the hobby for a long time, you should also know how grading has changed over time and how the original numerical scale predated CGC. The numerical scale CGC uses actually is a simplified version of the 100-point scale from the first OGG and was created (by Overstreet) when CGC's entrance into the hobby was impending.

No point in us derailing this thread. Technically I guess it was my fault, going into the 10.0 business.

A book can have no flaws and still get a 9.8 . To get a 9.9/10.0 the book needs some extraordinary qualities. 4 razor sharp corners, perfect staple placement, etc. Fingerprints are the thing I've heard. 9.8 can have fingerprints, since these are books that are meant to be read. In addition to having all the structural and visual qualities of a 9.8, the 9.9 and 10 shouldn't have any fingerprints... which makes them freaks of the entire distribution process... shoving handfuls of freshly-printed comics into boxes that don't protect well, to be split out by the distributor, to be put on shelves, and to be handled on the way to the counter for purchasing and bagging/boarding, and (in theory) to be read and enjoyed.
