    Is it just the number?

    Does VFN/NM bother you in the same way? 

    Maybe. It’s mostly when I’m looking at bronze books. I just think ahhhh 9.0. I could easily upgrade that to a 9.2 or 9.4. I have House of Mystery 174 that’s an 8.5 and I’m perfectly happy with it. If it was a 9.0 I’d probably be looking for an upgrade. (shrug) So, yeah, I guess it is the number in some weird OCD way. 

    Raw grades don’t bother me unless I’m looking at submitting a book, but I rarely submit books to cgc. I’m mostly looking for reader copies and grading really isn’t as important to me in that aspect.

    It’s October, and every October I reread the Mignola Hellboy. Or at least, the ones I have in trades; Seed of Destruction thru Strange Places. And every year I again marvel at the magnificence of the work. 
    I got so enthused this year that I bought a set of Mignola’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
    I know it will be pretty, I hope it will be good!

    You gotta read Hellboy In Hell sometime. Very fun read!
