That's what grade screen is for. It's the easiest way to have us evaluate the books. Just put a 9.4 or 9.6 grade screen on them. Easy, peasy. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Foghorn_Sam What did the notes say on that ASM #70? (from cbcs) Any small stain or light foxing would do that to the grade. Cbcs is extremely Hard on those two errors. A friend of mine had an Iron fist #14 looking near mine Come back a 7 due to "light foxing" And I had two Iron man 55s Come back a 3 and 4 for stains. The 4 was thought to Come back Atleast a 6 by the One cleaning and pressing Them |

If you don't take away from One error, then what about the next and the next, then it goes to shipping damages from Diamond to Retailers,... Then No deduction from hanging on the wall... It's a slope.... Where do you See the line fir errors not coubting |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nico Here are CBCS's notes of that book: tiny crease bottom right corner front cover barely breaks color light wear top & bottom spine spine stress breaks color tiny wear top right corner front cover Here's CGC's notes on the same book: spine multiple bend breaks color I no longer have this book so I don't have any images to put up and I must have erased the images I had on my computer. In hand this book looked super, like virtually brand new. It didn't even need pressed. What got me was of all the books in that particular order, I thought this one was one of the strongest and it got the lowest grade of the bunch. As far as I could tell, it seemed to be every bit as good as other books in that order that got 9.4's and 9.6's. Most of the time I'm pretty close on the grades and it just seemed this one was an outlier compared to how close or right on I was on the other books. That's why I decided to get a second opinion from the other grading company. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Stelbert_StyltonI've seen this mentioned a couple of times here on the forum and would like to address it. CBCS has no minimum for submitting. That goes for grade screened books as well as all other submissions. If you want to send a single book with a grade screen then by all means do so. If you have one (or a few) book(s) out of a group you're submitting you want grade screened, we'll accommodate that as well. Also... memberships are optional, not required to submit. If you're going to submit 50+ books in a given year's time then signing up for a membership makes sense. If you're only going to submit 10 books or so in a 12 month time frame then don't spend the money on a membership. ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nico Well, I think Steve cleared that up in his statements in a post earlier in this thread. He said: "Yes, production defects are counted in the grade of the book. Some production defects WAY more than others. Some production defects...not so much." So it looks like production defects are considered in the grade of a book, depending on what they are and how severe. |

yes.first set can be read. but the other pages cant be read as they are still joined at the top. the cutting did not cut the other pages during production. I should have realised the book was double pages when I bought it. vut was in high school at the time skipping school to pick up my weekly books so was in a rush | ||

![]() This is a better picture. One set of interiors are still joined at the top. But other set was cut and the book still can be read Since CGC refused to grade it I might submit this book to CBCS next time I get books graded and see if it can be done. just for a curio |

I don't see why we wouldn't grade it. If the story was incomplete, you probably wouldn't be happy with the grade. ![]() |

story is complete. one set of pages for the book can be read. the second set of interiors cant be read to well as they are still joined at the top. I have never seen this production flaw. it must have been missed during quality control by the printers | ||

If I'm not mistaken I think we had someone send a different book with the same type of production error a few months back and we graded that one. | ||

Wouldn't such a rare production error make the book more valuable? Aren't there collectors who focus on such oddities? And why would CGC refuse to grade it? Did CGC think it was a fabricated book rather than a legit production error? | ||

not sure. they just got back to my authorised CGC dealer and said they would not grade it. looking at the book its easy to tell its not fabricated. I will have to submit it. it wont grade high. too many spine ticks |
