Grading is done by humans. Humans are not perfect.

So there's no difference between a CGC 9.8 and a CGC 9.6 because the graders are human and humans make mistakes?
If this is true then why do people pay more for a 9.8?

This is crazy. From Red_Hood
I totally forgot to share my experience after I mentioned the "flaw nazis" that was hammering moderns a few months ago.
I had graded 3 copies of ASM #212 as 9.8, 9.8 and 9.6. The flaw nazi gave them 9.6, 9.6, 9.4
I cracked them out without pressing them again as they appeared exactly as I originally graded.
The next submission they received 9.8, 9.8 and 9.6. (Just as I thought)
I then cracked out an Evil Ernie #1 that the flaw nazi gave a 9.2 ( I graded it a 9.4), after submitting that copy it received a 9.6 from CGC without having to repress it.
There certainly was a grading cowboy on the assembly line at CGC but they likely had a word with him or her.

It's not true.

Not sure if this helps, but I wouldn't call this a 6.0 even if the rest of the book were 10.0

My last submission to them was in November/December and I received a 10.0, 9.9, and four 9.8. Those 9.8 definitely look like they were at least a 9.9.

It would be more accurate to say there may not be a difference between a CGC 9.8 and a CGC 9.6 when the graders make a mistake. I've seen one or two very 9.6ish 9.8s.

CGC did a pretty big hiring drive about 2 years ago; additional graders were hired and other positions were also filled. I think the super tight grading is a byproduct of taking on several new graders.
I think it is likely a matter of time before the newer hires get broken in and grading gets back to being fairly consistent at CGC, across all eras.
I do hope that CGC is taking the complaints about their current grading practices seriously. As it stands, I'm not in a rush to sub *any* books to CGC.

CGC locked the thread. This topic is now closed to further replies. I think CGC uses those attention clowns (RMA, Kav, Logan510, jsilverjanet) to lock down threads they don't like. How many times has this happened and why haven't they been banned?

Which thread are you referring to? The "Trolls Welcomed" thread or the one for the auction? The trolls thread is still up, but the other was deleted.
