So you think the label was switched? Maybe this was supposed to be the 9.8!!!

There's subjective and then there's wrong.

Was CGC’s grading public grading scale always this vague?

No, it wasn't. For many years they had a copy of the overstreet guidelines with a disclaimer that they don't follow them. They switched to the current pile of crap description in the last year or two. I complained about it at the time, but apparently no one cares. Hell, PGX gives a better breakdown of their guidelines than CGC does!

I thought one of my post was resurrected. That one is way worse than the 9.6 I posted. Honestly, is there a way to contact cgc and see how this got a 9.6? This has to be an error right?

Was a grade screen of 9.6 selected during submission? If so, that could explain some things.

I didnt do grade screening on it. Just a regular submission. Thought it MIGHT get 8.5 but this one is way off

It really just looks like it was given an incorrect label. I don't know what CGC's workload looks like, but I would imagine that after seeing so many comics, labels, and slabs in a day, week, month, year, whatever, mistakes are bound to happen. It definitely happens on both sides of the street.

@gotham44
What do the grader notes say? Maybe it is the wrong label.

You could go this route, or you can contact CGC and explain what happened, provide them with the pictures and they should work with you on getting it resolved. Their service department was pretty good last time I needed help.

I just can't bring myself to buy any CGC graded comics that have gone through the process since...if feels like Summer last year, but it may have started earlier.

I was talking to an owner of a store here in Vancouver the other day and he told me, very indirectly, he get's "treated very well at CGC". I'm like, so you think you are getting favorable bumps because you send them lots of books? And he semi smiles.

He's not an idiot, he knows when he sends in a book what to expect.

Stuff like this, for that Spidey, doesn't surprise me at all.
