Converting CGC-style numbered grades to the 8 basic grades

Featured Replies

So Atomic Avenue does not use the transition grades.  So for someone who has lots of books with those transition grades (like "VF/NM"), which grade would you move them to?  Always the lower?  Always the upper?  Different ones for different transition grades?

 

Atomic Avenue does recognize "Very Fine to Near Mint" as a grade distinct from "Very Fine" and "Near Mint."  But for other "transition" grades, you are correct, they are not recognized as such.  

Speaking only for myself, when I have books that are in those other grades, I tend to put them into the lower grade and then make a note in the "Grading Notes" field.  The contents of your Grading Notes field will show up with your specific issue's listing on Atomic Avenue.  

You could just as easily choose to list your issues in the higher grade.  However, I think that when you go that route it becomes really necessary that you inform the buyer re: the true condition of your item using the Grading Notes field.  You don't want a stickler customer purchasing a comic expecting it to be in FN condition and instead receiving a copy that is VG/FN.
