to me it seems that rarer books are graded toward the higher end than common ones. a 2.0 of say a spiderman 65 will look a lot better than a 2.0 spiderman 1, my experience is that more flaws are allowed on the more high end books....anyone else?

maybe cause they're worth more?Looking for Infinite Heroes Robin and Catwoman
And Super Powers Batman -
i agree
i'm sure that's the case, but isn't there supposed to be an actual standard. the seller can still fetch a good price more even with a worse grade if it's rare.Comment

You're specifically talking about CGC grading, right? OH brudda! Don't get me started!
In theory I think you're 100% right, if both books are graded 2.0 they should be in the exact same condition.
CGC operates using a bevy of theories that don't really work, to me, but that's a whole other discussion.Comment

Grading is a scam. I find lots of undisclosed damage on graded stuff. Usually stuff like spine damage and creases.Comment

The answer to your question lies in your response above... "but isn't there supposed to be an actual standard" CGC has no written grading standards. Overstreet put out an entire book on how they came up with their grading system in the price guide. CGC has yet to publish any standards on how their books are graded. As long as they don't have any written standards...it will always be a scam in my eyes."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see

Isn't it a pity".
