Grading: I use Overstreet'sComic Book Grading Guide (2016 ed.), the CGC Grading Guide (2022), and 35+years of collecting experience to grade.I also have several CGC, PGX, and CBCS books that I use forreference. I try to be accurate withgrading, but there is always some subjectivity, and hence variability,involved. For example, I have a CGC 8.5Wolverine #4 with no visible flaws except for one spine stress mark. However, I also have a CGC 9.0 Swamp Thing #1with two stress marks and a small corner crease. Personally, I think the 8.5Wolverine looks better, which illustrates my point.
Generally, I spend more time and effort grading high grade booksthan low grade books. For example, Iwill agonize for long minutes about whether to grade something an 8.0 versus a9.0 because the difference and value can be large on a high-end book. On the other hand, I won't spend much timetrying to distinguish between a 2.0 and 3.0.
If unhappy with my grading, Iwill refund the purchase price; however, the buyer pays return shipping unlesshe/she can make a good argument that I really blew it on the grading. Absolutely no “buyer’s remorse” returns. That means no returns for “changed my mind,”“found better price,” etc.
