That's a great tidbit for those books whose grades are significantly different from grade expectations. I've got to 9.6 books that when I compare them to the CGC Guide look like they have allowable 9.8 defects. It might be time to call them. They really should just make all of the notes available at this point. It's ridiculous to have them and not provide them straight awy to the consumer.

Let me start this long winded rant by saying that I love your videos. Very informative. Please help me understand why most people favor CGC over CBCS. Both you and other KZitemrs have accurately pointed out that CGC graded books typically sell for more money than CBCS. Why? I get that CBCS is not very flashy and their marketing department does little to improve their position in the industry, but we’re not paying for flashy. We’re paying for an accurate grade and a quality slab that will protect the book. Both of which CBCS provides. With all the controversy around the 9.9’s and damaged books and fraudulent books why do people keep flocking to CGC? Maybe you can do a video about this subject to help me wrap my head around it.

I’ve done many videos over the years talking about the absurdity of this and how they should at the very least have equal resell. But they don’t. CBCS is worth about 20% less.

I'm rather new to the comic world, born in the 80s. I am drawn towards comics that had shows developed off of that era, which isn't much. I'm rather surprised a computer has not been implemented at CGC to scan and grade covers to keep consistency. I am also confused that the value of a 9.9 compared to a 9.0 brings. Its mind blowing, its hard for me to understand. I do understand other metrics that are taken into account but still, boggled. I've seen many videos that compromise CGCs standards, if you could call it that, when it appears to be fluctuate quite a bit. Yet still effects the price considerably when you can only tell the condition of it by the cover. IMO CGCs grade should have little to no effect on the price at this point when there is no "expertise" knowledge transferred that a common eye couldn't tell. Maybe blind people should grade them by feel at this point. Thanks for the content.
