thunsicker Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 1.8, 5.5, and 9.2. As was mentioned earlier it’s the minuses. Collecting in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s comics were good, fine, or near mint. That’s 2.0, 6.0, and 9.4 in the new scale. The ones just below them bother me. Larryw7 and porcupine48 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lied in the opening post because I didn't want to seem certified batpoop crazy, but I'd rather have an 8.5 than a 9.2. same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I really hate 9.6s especially copper and modern books. They are usually a loss and they just plain suck. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 9.8, but I have a reason. The obsession with this number in the corner has brought a lot of bottom feeders into the hobby. porcupine48, Larryw7 and Cosmic_Shel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t they technically be top feeders if they like 9.8s? just messing of course, but I know what you mean. Maybe if they changed 9.8 to mean “mint minus” instead of near mint / mint, less people would want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST as annoying if not more than 9.0 ,9.2,9.4,9.6 and above.What next?4.4?6.8? I agree with @thunsicker but having started in the eighties,nineties personally,I'm used to the Overstreet letter system,but always dislikes the plus or minus.

Hollywood1892 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I hated grade 8 I don't know what it was, the transitioning to 9 or the feeling like I was leaving something behind...my bad this isnt the thread I'm looking for 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgross.com Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 6.5 bugs me for no good reason. i feel like 7.0 and higher sounds like an impressive grade and the book will almost always look pretty sweet too. 6.5 isnt quite mid grade, nor is it high grade. of course i'd gladly take an AF15 in that grade, but ideally with my other SA keys, i like to have a copy under 5.5 and then ideally a 7.0 or better if i can manage it.

theCapraAegagrus Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I hate 9.2, 9.6, and 9.9 (I think I have a valid reason for that one, though). I also hate the 1.8 grade. Where's the 1.2/1.3!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough I like buying 9.6s when 9.8s are expensive, but 9.6 on books I submit myself do tend to chap my áss a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
