Hopefully it's an off-day for him.. edit:oh, im not facing him this round.. GOOD LUCK AJD!

Good job @AJD

Good luck sir! @Azkaban

I'm ok with it provided a X-Men #1 is magically donated to the prize thread.

Darts thrown...

Right,, so are those books still being judged? Or is that round over, and the grades can be revealed?

Of the 4 books previous round, only the GI has a grade showing.

Did I accidentally make it to the next round? And is there only the one graded book? Whats with the white blocks?

Mine would be my #94, signed by Claremont and Mcleod . Purchased raw in the late 80's for $100. The only remaining grail would of course be a #1.

I would agree about the page quality bringing down the book. Perhaps the pages are just short of brittle, or maybe a detached staple or rust.

Contest is over.. move along, nothing to see... *wave of hand Good luck sir, be gentle with me.

Any update on Bracket B? i need to know who I'm going against so i can sabotage them again... These aren't the books you are looking for... *wave of hand...

Darts thrown!

so what happens if someone in my bracket doesn't submit? do i get an automatic bye?

Not always, My XMEN 94 signed by Claremont and mccloud on first page came back Blue Label 8.5 with no mention on label, but mentioned in the graders notes.

Grades in!

#10 for 10-10 at 50% ok I guess, and the lesson is to scribble with black sharpies on the defect like @adampasz mentioned. Not sure what I missed on the Sensation comics, as I had that at a 4.0, but .5? heeh Oh, now i see the missing centerfold affects story text..

Ugh, leaving an IH 181 8.0ish..in a guitar magazine box in a shed of a house that I moved out of and forgot.

Grades in! Good luck everybody!

Mine is to complete the run from 1 to 544. I'm missing 34 issues, all in the 1-93 range. #1 is the big one..

My god, that #2..

Alright, after finalizing the divorce, decided to continue completing my run from #1 - #544.. Big props to @HouseofComics.Com for the righteous deals, he's always hooked me up.. Currently have only 35 issues left before a complete set (not counting variants as variants are meh..) Here's what I picked up today at the local comic-con which filled in some nice holes.. The remain 35 are all in the 1-93 range, with currently 4, 5, 8 and 10 already completed for the 1-10 set. There is another con May 5th in my area, will look for more there..

Joe's always been pretty good on pricing.. Although when asked for grading, usually he won't comment, which is a way to stay safe.

Nice copy, maybe 9.2-9.4 on a loose day..

Nice copy, the top dings it a little, 9.0-9.2 for me.
