My new method of grading. Grades in. Thanks Mike!

This is getting embarrassing and quite humbling. I'm old school grading and grade books the same, whether they're Golden or Modern.

The Flash 122 graded  an 8.0 with a front cover piece out on the right side? My grade 6.0.

The Secret Wars 8 was a crime. Graded an 8.0 with rusty staples and paper degradation at the centerfold? I can see the paper further deteriorating over time. My grade 4.5.

Wow! Got my butt kicked on this round. I think they were all over graded besides the JLA 42

Count me in!

Not sure how it got to be an 8.5. Still looks like the same 8.0 to me IMO. 

Grades in!

Count me in Jon.

I'm shocked to hear this. Dealt with Ed personally in 2007 when he came to my house to review my collection and take it to Heritage for auction. Dealt with Ed a number of times since then on the phone. A real nice guy and straight shooter. My condolences to his family and close friends. A tremendous loss.

True rarity!

Wow! Such a tough book in grade with black cover. Beautiful copy.

Hit 3 on the button. The Lois Lane at 7.0 seems vastly over graded based on the given defects. 

Wolf Gal  #1 - 4.0

Aggie Mack #8 - 5.5

Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #5 - 5.0

My Secret Life #19 - 5.5

Junie Prom #6 - 6.0

This is a PR nightmare for CGC. Reputation is everything in their business. They better reassure their customers fast that safeguards have been put in place, otherwise the bleeding will intensify. Personally, I'm sitting tight before submitting any more books to CGC. 

Whoa!

Note: there are about a half dozen cracks in sides of slab, doesn't affect book.

Was planning on paying the $25 for a reholder then sending to auction, but figured I'd list it cheap here first to see if anyone interested.

I think FMV is roughly $500 on this book based on GPA, but let's do:

$350

I've dealt with Jimbo on the boards but never met him personally. Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.  

Beautiful copy Jeff. Excellent color saturation. Many copies you see have faded reds. 

Great thread!  Prices seem like bargains as I bought a lot of these keys in 2021 at inflated prices. 

One of my all time favorite Golden Age covers. GLWTS
