A few journals ago I gave my predictions, let's see how I did.

Following is a copy of my journal when I predicted what the grades would be, I'll let you know what they came back as after that journal. I just shipped off 6 comics to CGC and as always I write down what I think the comics will grade at when they come home. I'd like to share my predictions with fellow journal watchers. When they come back we'll see how good a grader I am. So without futher words here they are. 1.- Midnight Tales #5, Mass. Copy, super hi-grade inside but the cover has a small scuff which shows up a bit on the black cover. My guess-9.2. 2.- Space War #12, Circle 8, nice copy but for a little edge wear and a slight bend to one corner. My prediction-8.0. 3.- Space War #13, Circle 8 pedigree, really nice insides and front cover, back cover a bit faded. My inkling-9.0. 4. Space War #14, Circle 8, a touch of spine roll and some scuff around staples but real faint. I'm thinking-8.5. 5. Space War #32, I've been looking for a gradeable issue for 3 years now and this is the best I've seen so far. Feeling I'll get- 8.5. 6. The Return of Gorgo #2, Vintage Collectables had this as a 7.5 in thier auction and could well be as there are spine breaks. I always buy raw auction comics thinking it's at least a grade lower than stated. I'm going with- 7.0. That's it. When they come back, could be 2 months, I'll repost this and the returned grades and we'll see how bad a grader I am. Best2u, Ed

Okay, so here is what they came back as, 1. Midnight Tales #5 Mass. Copy, I predicted a 9.2 it's back as a 9.8, guess I was a little off on that one, but I did say it had a super high grade inside. I guess the little scuff wasn't that bad. 2, Space War #12 I predicted a 8.0 and it's back as a 6.5, Wow, that hurts a bit. That little bent corner must have been bigger than I saw it. 3. Space War #13 I perdicted 9.0 and that's what it came back as. I knew it. That's right, I'm the MAN. 4. Space War #14 I guessed a 8.5 and once again I'm the MAN. It's CGC-8.5. 5. Space War #32 I predicted a 8.5 and do you believe it, it's a 8.5, Who's the Man, I'm the MAN. 6. Return of Gorgo #2 I said a 7.0 and it's back as a 8.0. Okay, so I'm not the Man but at least I was wrong on the low side. Not so bad on my grading I'd say. I had 3 right on the nose, 2 that I undergraded, which is always better than overgrading. I was really only off on 1 book and only off by a 1.5 points. Ya, guess I should have spotted that. I'll give myself a B+. See ya in the Journals, Best2u.
