Sqeggs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Here's my copy of Teen-Age Diary Secrets 7 (note CGC screwed up the title, as they typically do, so the census is off). Harshly graded, I think. Sold to me raw as a 7.5, which seemed reasonable to me ... but not to the graders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It probably needed rust on the staples to get a 7.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Evidently they grade harshly for tape inside the cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, and there is some tearing at the staple, but I think it's about the nicest 3.5 you will ever see. Not that I'm prejudiced or anything! Just for fun, I took a look at the census. Teen-Age Diary Secrets 7 has no copies listed. There are three graded copies of "Diary Secrets 7" but there ain't no such book, unless I'm confused about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three graded copies of "Diary Secrets 7" but there ain't no such book, unless I'm confused about something. I used to track 7 & 9. I picked up my 9 in the 1990s, then it took me a decade to find a 7. Once I found a 7 it seemed like they came out of the woodwork and I've now seen probably a half-dozen or so of them. The 9 hasn't been quite as "common". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 People also seem to think we are going through a tight period with CGC grading, so maybe that contributed to it. Here are the grader notes: Bottom Spine Chip Out Right Top Interior Small Multiple Tear Staple Multiple Recessed Top Front Cover Small Lite Multiple Crease Given the book's appearance (the back is equally nice), that's a 3.5?!? It may be the small multiple interior tears that brought it down, but they sure looked like a production defect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's beyond tight...... which for that book, "tight" would be 7.0 (or better). GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
