In other words a VG on our scale is still a VG on Overstreet's, a FN is still a FN, etc. Such accuracy is in our opinion unattainable. Each book is graded by committee. Each grader independently grades the book in question, noting each significant defect as well as their final grade. The books are graded under identical conditions.
Graders use gloves at all times when handing the books.
Once the graders are finished, a consensus is reached and raw scores are assigned each defect and a final grade is awarded. They should then be sent by registered mail, insured for their approximate value, with a return receipt, through the U.S. Post Office to Pacific Comic Exchange, P.O. Box. 2629, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA 90274. Also, books can be sent overnight by sending them by U.S. Express Mail to our P.O. Box. Please notify us in advance if you use this option.
