Hello

Can anyone recommend an expert CGC Grader that is experienced with CGC standards?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Paul Litch has been known to hang around the Pawn Shop with Rick and Chumlee.  There is a forum member who lives in Vegas that I think has an excellant handle on CGC grades, but I'm not going to volunteer him.

I still dont understand, what do you want with this person, what is your end goal here?

Do you want to pay someone to tell you what your book will get as a grade before you send it in? Why not just send the book in then? 

Because a book can only be given a CGC grade by CGC. Otherwise, a raw book should be graded through the standards of a raw book.

Agree, may need a little more info about specific goals to answer the question properly

There are self-appointed experts out there, but even CGC graders aren't complete experts. There's no school to graduate from, no degree you can get. Hands-on experience is the best you can hope for.

I remember when I became a professional grader (meaning paid to grade comics). It was at a jewler who had a side business in vintage collectables sold on ebay (comics, coins, bills). He gave me the overstreet guide and a bunch of comics with the guideline "give these a grade you'd be happy with if you were the one purchasing". I went to work on the pile, learning the guide. When I graded them all, he took a look at each one to see if I was off or if the grades worked well enough for him. 

He was content and then raised his hand and blessed me as if I was being knighted by the queen. I had become a professional grader.
