什么是评级标准?

含义

评级标准是第三方鉴定服务(例如CGC、CBCS)用来给漫画书分配一个数值状况分数的规范化、客观系统。这个分数不是主观意见;它是基于特定标准的测量结果。这些标准包括纸张完整性(易脆性、霉点)、色彩鲜艳度、结构稳固性(脊背卷曲、合页磨损)和表面损伤(折痕、撕裂、墨水渗漏)。最终的等级(例如9.6、4.0)充当了状况的通用语言,取代了“接近全新”(Near Mint)或“良好”(Good)这类模糊的描述。该标准规定了该书必须达到的精确物理状态才能获得该数值评级。

对价格的影响

所分配的等级是决定二级市场价值的单一最大因素。同一本书的未评级原件和专业评级件之间的价格差异,根据书的稀有度和受欢迎程度,可能从30%到超过500%。一般来说,评级在9.0或以上的书籍会比同等状况的未评级副本获得显著的溢价。对于中等受欢迎的标题,一张CGC 9.8的副本可能比同等状况的散页副本贵2.5到4倍。即使是让书籍等级下降一个完整的等级(例如从9.8降到9.6)的损伤,也可能立即导致价格下跌20-40%。

如何识别

主要的判断依据是认证标签本身——评级公司提供的全息图、特定的案例设计和唯一的序列号。检查评级书时,保护套(slab,即塑料保护壳)必须完全密封,不能有可见的缝隙或篡改的迹象。一个常见的诚实错误是标签错误(mislabeling),即书籍被评级了,但等级与可见的磨损不符(例如,一个9.4的保护壳却装在明显有缺角的书上)。假冒品通常可以通过标签印刷质量差或保护壳本身的安全特征不正确来识别。

明智购买

只有当漫画书是高需求、投资级别的标题(例如关键首登场作品、高等级的银龄书籍)时,为高等级支付溢价才是合理的。对于普通或低等级的标题,溢价往往超过了潜在的回报;为一本100美元的书支付50美元的溢价是价值不高的。一个公平的交易是标价在特定等级和该书既定销售数据的10-15%范围内。如果卖家要求的等级对于该书已知的市场历史来说异常高,那么就需要保持怀疑。

明智出售

附带专业评级的漫画书立即将挂牌从投机性销售转变为可验证的资产销售。买家支付溢价是为了获得保护壳所提供的“保证”。挂牌中最有效的一点是提供一张清晰、高分辨率的认证标签和相应等级贴纸的照片,并显示完整的序列号。这证明了真实性并验证了所述状况,使卖家无需与买家争论状况就能获得市场定价的最高层级。
