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 vf nm i'm 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 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 contribs
