As for the #1 book, that looks like an optimistic 7.0  |

Just to make sure there's no confusion, I'm posting Step #3 from the 'Rules & How It's Played' thread here...
Just to reiterate, you are guessing the grade the specified grading company would give (CGC or CBCS).
I specify the grading company because some people believe the two grading companies grade differently. Personally, I disagree with that statement. In my experience, there is more repeatability variance than there is daylight between the two company's grading philosophies.

As for the #1 book, that looks like an optimistic 7.0 I agree somewhat. It looks a little loose for CGC. If you were to resubmit it several times, I would not be surprised to see CGC give it a 6.5 or a 7.0. This is also the type of book that most people grade tighter than the grading companies. |

Ah, for some reason I thought we had to guess which company the book was graded from. (Realizing it's pretty easy to tell due to the inner well difference) thanks for the clarification |

I was the 5.5 on #2. Not quite sure how grading on tanned pages works. They looked brittle to me for some reason |

Re: #3. How do bullet holes affect the grade...? Depends on what caliber and whether they're armor piercing or not. |
