Mercury Man Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 2 hours ago, Get Marwood & I said: Money. An 8.2 wouldn't carry any premium over an 8.0. And there'd be stacks of them for most comics. Sky's the limit at the top end though, where your 9.9 might be the only one. I agree with the spirit of your post though. I would love to see someone take a comic to them, have 1 'expert' grade it (without slabbing it), and he/she would say 9.2. Then go back a week later, have a different 'expert' grade it (without slabbing it), and they would say 9.4, Then a third week, go back, and get another expert, and they would say 9.2. I would be willing to bet this would happen more often then not. Some of the differences are such minutiae, I could see it going down like that. But they created this mess. I think it has to do with time of day, who the grader is, what kind of day they are having, and blood sugar levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzilla43 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I don't have CGC or graded books but NG and 1.8 don't make sense to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToVl2dnW9uA Also if that video is true then 6.5 for a book that has loose centerfold it is just crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern cross Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Qualified grade. Reminds me of dealers with their BS if the book hadn't have the whole back page ripped off it be near mint sales pitch with a price tag multiples over a poor price. Sorry ladies and gentlemen. A page missing or a coupon gone means a incomplete poor book. Getting cgc to grade it qualified and getting the pope to bless it ain't going to do a damn thing. Honestly im ok with grades. I've enjoyed the stories here why others don't like a specific grade. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He angrily retorted that "The part that's there is MINT!!" I then said i had a mint copy of Action #1 that consisted of one page would he like to purchase it for $500,000 because the last mint copy sold for 1.5 million and he could make a killing- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
