Great to see you back here Ed, and with some new findings to report!

Any idea which is the more common version of that Saddle Justice? In my n=1 sample it is 100% the code version. More helpfully, they seem to split evenly in the 10 issues in the Heritage archive.

Gives a whole new meaning to getting it slabbed.

I was so sure I had this round nailed. Turns out I bit off more than I could handle.

I hit '' on this post but, having tried ice climbing exactly once, I think is more appropriate. So... I swing this ice tool hard enough to dig in far enough to support my body weight, but not so hard that I ride the bottom part of this icicle downwards at 9.8 m/s^2... got it.

Can someone please explain what's going on here?

Well, when two iconic DC characters love each other very much...

In an existing thread?

Here are @Matt1982's grades

13.7

pi^2/6

tree-fiddy

OK, so let's get on with the reveal now.

CGC's stated policy is to grade as if the tape isn't there, so that might explain the low grade - the cover and centerfold might both have been detached but are now attached by tape.

1. WolverineX

2. thehumantorch

3. Wipple

4. frozentundraguy

5. grendelbo

6. Albert_Thurgood

7. AJD

I have to demonstrate that my desperately unlucky 1 point behind a three way tie for first in the last comp was a sheer fluke. Hopefully a truly mediocre outcome awaits, thus reducing any expectations on me in the future.

This is where we are now. 

These YT CGC fanboys are assuming every overgraded book is now under suspicion for being part of these scams, instead of just another in the long history of overgraded CGC books we've seen in the Quality Control thread and elsewhere for the past 10 years.

CGC loves these scammers.

Now they can blame all that overgrading on someone else.

It has all of the hallmarks of the known scam, especially the very specific grading notes on a 9.8. It's really not that big a stretch to consider it under suspicion.

Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite is a mouthful.  Perhaps they could abbreviate it.

in some select 60's books you would get a 23 page novel !!!

In three chapters!

I have a high grade ASM 316 and had no idea what current FMV was until I looked it up after reading your post. Luckily that dude didn't offer me $20 on the weekend!

I have a couple - if you can include future presidents.

Sold for $6,222

In 2024 dollars. In 2013 dollars that would be $4,700, or about 30% off the sale price back then.

I like having comic books around, so I'll go with the 300 please.

There may be an unofficial one even sooner.     

 

In which all of the books will be 0.5s. Or was I supposed to keep that secret?

I agree - at least VF and probably a tick higher. For a first printing I think you did OK.
