Cool and rare book containing some of the earliest original material in comic books - unfortunately today they're mostly overlooked !

Surprised didn't notice this one posted yet...

Thanks!

Now that's funny - won with a lazy guess! Thanks again for doing this, it was fun!

Happy holidays! Thanks for running a fun contest!!

Congrats Dan! Impressive run - hard-to-find high grade copies, all with bright colors!

All great covers! Hard to choose, but I think Adv #37 would top my personal list. Flanagan:

One of my better rounds: 2 bullseyes (Sensation & X-Men), 2 off by one grade and one by two (thought WA top spine had piece missing). Contest was a rollercoaster - 2 bad rounds, 2 good rounds! Challenging to grade without book in hand, but good way to better understand how CGC grades. Thanks again to Mike for running a smooth contest!

Guesses in! Each round tried different approach - apparently none matched the "CGC" method! Thanks to Mike for putting this together!!

BC stains worse than I originally "saw" during quick review of scans. Agree 3.5 is appropriate grade.

OUCH! Missed grade on every book! Nearly as bad as R1 score!! 4.5: Didn't see stain on FC of Show #19 - still I'd buy 3.5s that look like that all day! 1.8: With amount of spine wear, tears and pieces out of CSS #22, I would never grade higher than a 2.0. 9.0: HtD #1 crushed me. Way too low - dingy, so didn't present well. Still I'd have hard time giving it more than a 9.2, otherwise I have a bunch of raw 9.4/9.6s!!! Half grade off on other two, which is well within margin of error.

Grades in...based on emoji response, suspect CGC is off on every book!

2nd click opens a new tab, click one time one tab image to zoom in. Really helps in visual grading - appears to have cut my 1st round score by 1/3!

Not sure if someone else answered, but it wasn't till Round 2 until I figured out clicking image 3 times enlarged it so you could see defects better!

Answers would be interesting - especially since CCS states re-glossing can't be removed! Appears page needs updating.

You and me both! Was way off on SW #8 - wasn't aware of triple click to zoom till today. Caught between my grade and what I think CGC might grade!

Those are the ones I found in my search, plus the non-EC label. Sorry I missed the TFTC 40. Cool idea! Just opened one and it's a nice smooth pale...Cheers! Thanks for pictures and info!

Do you how long they've been doing the EC labeled cans? Found 5 or 6 different PFTC labeled cans on-line. Appears an empty can sells for $10-20 w/shipping on ebay!
