Seems like knowing the grading scale should be Quality Assurance 101! Apparently some of you didn't do homework before you posted.

Tony S Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) The .4 is clearly a labeling error. Labeling errors are not common - and not rare. Getting the numeric grade wrong is I believe a rare mistake though. CGC had a special deal going with Wizard long ago where they did some 9.5's of their books. It was some sort of (dumb IMHO) promotion. Those are not mistakes. Just oddities. Here is a quote from Wikipedia from the CGC entry Wizard First (red and white) No longer in use, originally used by CGC/Wizard magazine as a new type of slabbed collectible. Only three grades were given to comics submitted by Wizard directly to CGC: 9.0, 9.5, and 10.0. This is the only time CGC has ever used the grade "9.5".

To my knowledge this has never been a legitimate grade on standard grading scales. So I decided to look up the serial number on CGC's website and sure enough, it states that it is a grade of 0.4. Thinking maybe something had changed, I checked the CGC grading scale on their website and 0.5 is the lowest grade that they claim to apply. Additionally the case appears to be the current case that CGC is using and was graded only a month ago, 31 Jan 2020. Is there something that I am missing? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

RockMyAmadeus Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 What, for "kidnaped"? They talked about that in the letter's page...it's a legitimate way to spell it. I always read it as "kid-nāped" The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
