 Process definitions 

As a Wikipedia user with no specific knowledge of comic collecting, I find the Process table confusing. It is stated that CGC grades material from 0.5 to 10, then Definitions defines what A, P, S, M and E denote, but below that is given an example grading ""VF/NM 9.0"". I'm going to induce that NM is near mint, but am I to guess what VF is or why it is there? 121.45.247.24  

Good point. The numbers correspond to more traditional descriptive grades such as ""fine"", ""very fine"", ""near mint"", and ""mint"". I've added a sentence explaining that and a link to the chart on their website. Also, I removed the ""VF/NM"" part from the example. Does that make it more comprehensible?   

 Missing an obvious and major criticism 

One of the most obvious criticisms is that the CGC practice is the ultimate objectification and de-artification of the comic/magazine being graded, because it is sealed permanently and will never be read/viewed again except for the cover. All of the story and interior art are essentially lost forever for all intents and purposes.  One might as well just encase it in Lucite like a bug in amber. — ''''''   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. "
