Well done @Axelrod   

Congrats to @zzutak & @Cerebus3000 as well and good luck in the tiebreaker!

Thank you for the continued commentary & analysis @zzutak and @Superman2006!

Thanks to @CGC Mike for another fun one!

Nice tricky round! I messed up on the Y: The Last Man. It's tough to see defects on a lot of these scans, especially the darker covers.

Luckily nailed the Spidey. When referencing the grading guide for these contests I feel like books with only one primary defect are generally not treated as harshly as the guide would indicate.

In!

Congrats to the finalists! I feel like this is the closest grouping we've had to end a contest. Nail-biting finish!

Tough round! Good luck to all and thank you Mike for another fun contest!
