Can someone please define "mid grade" for me. Is it VF/NM or EX + or - like sports cards?

I say mid grade is a 6.0 most will say 5.0 or higher

I don't measure my manhood on a number, unless that number involves current salary, sexual conquests or inches...I am not concerned with my grammar on a message board. I will save my writing skills for something that is important enough to warrant them

You should got to STL comics look at the grading contest and compare and contrast

poor (.5)

fair (1.0)

fair/good (1.5)

good- (1.8)

good (2.0)

good+ (2.5)

good/very good (3.0)

very good - (3.5)

very good (4.0)

very good + (4.5)

very good/fine (5.0)

fine- (5.5)

fine (6.0)

fine+ (6.5)

fine/very fine (7.0)

very fine- (7.5)

very fine (8.0)

very fine+ (8.5)

very fine/near mint (9.0)

near mint- (9.2)

near mint (9.4)

near mint + (9.6)

near mint/mint (9.8)

mint (9.9)

gem mint (10.0)

THE BOLD GRADES ARE MID GRADES (IN MY BOOK) AND BELOW WOULD BE LOW GRADE AND HIGHER WOULD BE HIGH GRADE.

The comic grading scale is certainly more detailed then sports cards, especially on the high end!
