Thanks. Yeah, those darned giant sized books. This one looks sooooo nice at first glance. You don't notice that corner until you handle the book. I believe 100% it's publishing/binding related. I might search for any similar cases.

TY!

TY!

Exactly my experience

I started at 4.5 for the first 3, then thought I must be in a rut and started scrutinizing all books ( = overthinking)

Now if I ever come across a box of GA comics at a garage sale, I will confidently tell the seller who has priced them as if they are 8.0 or better, "Sorry, pal, but these are ALL 5.0!" Of course... the way I grade GA comics, that means I'm looking at a bunch of 7.5 beauties!!

This feels like an added dimension to the game: "Real world CGC office working conditions!" Burnt out bulbs overhead, one desk lamp with a 40W bulb on a nearby table. Left my reading glasses at home. Can only focus by viewing comics at arm's length... somewhat compromising visual acuity. I mean, I'm flarked as far as finishing in the top 70% goes, so don't listen to me, but... if you can't see it in the scans... yeah.

i'll prolly have the same accuracy with that

Better performance, about the same standing. Man... If I could throw out ONE book per round... Also, if I had just picked the winning numbers when I bought that lottery ticket~!

Appreciate you, @CGC Mike! An Admin's work is never done~

I can see that in the final few pics, but the rest it does look like it could be in the plastic. Pics aren't terribly sharp.

6.0 ish. Spine stress, dents on cover, soiling (?) BC, color loss at title (to the right).

One humble opinion: 8.0

The agony of defeat!

Here we go! Anyone else have the feeling this round is like a big fat trick question?
