I also believe when you send modern from 2010-2020 along with modern from 1980-1990 they are much harsher on the older books bc they don’t look as nice as the newer shiny books. I blame this on new graders without enough experience.

I sent in a minty copy of Clone Wars 1. I looked it over like a hawk and saw nothing wrong with it. It came back at a 9.2. I have no idea how. I took the slab to my lcs and he even said there's absolutely no way that's a 9.2 told me if it was him he'd 100% Crack and resend it that the grader was having a bad day or something. I've looked it over so many times and still can't see anything wrong with it. I'm undecided on cracking it

Need some advice about grading. I have a key comic that is probably a 9.6 right now. And 9.8 once its pressed. However, it was manufactured with only 1 staple. Would this increase the value or decrease the value? It doesn't have the staple holes thats how I know it came off the press that way. Any advice?

@brucecree9170

My guess is that reversion happened with most of those books with tics and bends. The printing defects were likely always there and were easily missed. Because of reversion, I now set my cleaned and pressed books aside for a month and then re-examine them one more time before submitting. It is an extra step and delays the submission but helps catch reversion. Rates of reversion are likely affected by hard to control factors such as humidity and temperature. I think reversion rates have increased with all the crazy weather we have had in Cali. I can’t prove it. Would need to get Swagglehsus on the case to come up with some charts and graphs on reversion rates crossed referenced to weather conditions. As always, super educational and fun video Bry! Keep ‘em coming.❤

I have seen other vendors submitted books get some of the crazy 9.8 grades even with multiple spine ticks. They were even surprise by the results.
