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  to  then Definitions defines what A P S M and E denote but below that is given an example grading VFNM  Im going to induce that NM is near mint but am I to guess what VF is or why it is there     Good point The numbers correspond to more traditional descriptive grades such as fine very fine near mint and mint Ive added a sentence explaining that and a link to the chart on their website Also I removed the VFNM 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 deartification of the comicmagazine being graded because it is sealed permanently and will never be readviewed 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
