The most interesting part of this video is everything but the girl. 

Watch everything and everyone in the background...

@0:18sec dude at a desk looking at a book and a keyboard, upright box, stack of books, two blurred screens (propietary info?) but that desk is so cramped to be looking at a book/grading. 

Look at the other desk @0:20sec right before she comes into frame - piles of books and slabs, with one stack actually hanging off the desk by a couple inches with larger items or slabs piled on top of smaller books without slabs. 

Look at the stacks on the other desks @0:34sec how cramped it all is, boxes laying on their tall side with a sloping stack of slabs laying flat on top of each other.

Dude in IM t-shirt @1:42 taking a book out of the bag at a crowded desk with a keyboard and no space to lay the book flat.  

Yikes. 

It looks like my own desk at home with piles and stuff  but I guess I was expecting something different there. 

I don't know what I would be expecting, imagining there'd be a lot more space to keep books and space for grading and doing their work at their desks. I dunno. 

Too Numerous To Count.

The whole GOT franchise is dead.

 

 

Yep. 

Same with the LOTR spin/rip-off.

I was totally with you on that stain. My notes literally say   Stains top bc. Otherwise 9.6? 8.5. If I got that as a 9.6 I’m not sure I would be happy….

That smudge on the back, the light fc lower spine wear/color loss (not the glare), and slightly soft spine corners... and 9.6!? Wow. 

I gave it 9.0

Ooch, 8pts to start the misery!

Wouldn't it be cool if, just once, someone from CGC (preferably a higher-up) came in here and explained how something like this happened?....

We all know the answer they would give. 

Good mix of eras. 

Grades are........

Not really a gender bend technically. She's playing Shalla-Bal. Doesn't preclude us getting Norrin Radd at some point.

With the miserable track record of gender/race-swapping across so many classic tales and characters under the guise of "creativity" , we're probably far more likely to get some alphabet+ version of a "Noreen" Radd instead. 

Great books! 

Take better pictures/scans of front and back - document everything. Maybe even first page and centerfold. 

Good luck!

...Borock has said that he thinks it's to push people to use CGC's pressing services.

"Third-Party graders"

I'm always astonished when I see gofundme campaigns when an employed middle class person passes. I always ask myself... WTF... didn't they have insurance? I suspect the answer is often  "no." ...

Or, the adrenaline-addict who free-climbs or fly-suits himself into a red spot at the bottom of Yosemite, leaving a wife and young child behind. 

Daredevil days should end when the home pregnancy test comes back positive.

That's a great cover, and Neal uses the space so effectively, but I always wonder on these "Dollar Comics" banner books that take up a sixth of the cover, how much more artwork we could have gotten. 

Gotta be 9.6
