Never knew there was a club, here's my membership card:

Grades in! This time I played it smart and didn't let none of that thinkin' get in the way of my guesses grades.

Yeah I actually measured it. It was 1" long. I guess that equals 1/4" if it's GA. 

Maybe I didn't read far enough (I'm bad that way) and it said, "no more than a 1/4" triangle, 1/8" square or 1" long rectangle..." 

I thought the criteria for Very Good was no more than a 1/4" triangle or 1/8" square missing out of a corner of the cover - the chunk out of that Weird Chills looks big enough to write a grocery list on (assuming, like me, the only thing you buy at the supermarket is beer). 

When I click the image my Norton antivirus warns me "dangerous web page blocked!" and won't allow me any further. So i just hold down CTRL and scroll my mouse wheel to enlarge the page (and the image). It's blurry but readable. 

Don't know why those two seemed so hard, but feels like I just hit the bullseye...grades in!

I also pegged the NM 98 at a 8.5 (and the IH at a 1.5). I hope the next time CGC is looking to hire graders they come looking here...

Now? I can see them, how about you guys?

They're back! 

I'm getting the same as Kav. I think CGC broke the contest.

Same here. I only see the NM98 front cover. The others say access denied. 

They worked fine for me earlier (when I submitted my guesses) but give me the message you're receiving now (with the exception of the Hulk 181 back cover which I can still see but only if I click a link).

I love Marlin Brando...and I'm also looking forward to checking out the new site! 

Grades in and I'm thinkin' I nailed the double!

That is good, and I have noticed that in GA as well. But is it me or does it seem to be waning a bit in SA and BA? I don't see the same level of interest in Kirby that used to be there, certainly, which is depressing. The BWS art in Conan doesn't seem to register like it used to either. Again, maybe it is just me, but wondering if anyone else has noticed a similar cooling of interests in specific artists from that era (at least to a lesser extent than used to exist in the 80s-90s).

I think Wrightson has picked up some heat since his unfortunate and untimely passing. And i still chase the Dave Stevens stuff.

Boy this thread gained dust fast, where's Wendy with her broom when we need her? For the Harvey fans out there, a recent pickup of mine!

My first upgrade to my Ghastly HOF run arrived today - from the esteemed collection of lpsunburst 

Not sure where it should sit on the list but I'd think Haunt of Fear #15 (#1) has to be on it.

I’m too lazy to go back and look, but has anyone done a top 10 ECs list in this thread? Given that it seems like they’ve picked up steam in the market lately, I thought it might be fun to put one together. Other opinions welcome!

Top 10 list based on value or popularity?

Bought this little gift on Ebay courtesy of Normdamarine. I bet Santa had a tough time getting that present down the chimney!

How about Spawn? Is he mainstream/a superhero?
