Grades in.

Back to grading on my phone, as studying the high-res pics did me no justice these last few rounds...

Grades are in.

Kudos to @thirdgreenham for picking a couple of books that are definitely going to separate the boys from the men in round 2.  These higher grade books are so much more volatile than the low and mid grade books...you miss one or two little things and you are off in la-la-land with your guess.

Hopefully my theory of gut instinct minus a grade level or two won't let me down.

It would be a shame to not be able to use the books that I want to use, but I do see that my choices need a little fine tuning.

Sorry everyone.  

The only apologies necessary are from the ones who now necessitated 5 more rounds of 9.8's that look like 9.2's.

Census be damned, I loved looking at those old books!

Something quick while I wait to go to Lyle Lovett concert tonight.

I'm so jealous.  I saw him in concert about 15 years ago, and it was a great show.  I can't believe it's been that long.

The 1st Beast Boy in Doom Patrol #99 had a nice little jump of 40% in NM- from $500 to $700 and up 240% in VG from $42 to $100.

I love a good hobo cover!

Superboy #145--This is a very sharp copy of this awesome book.  At least 8.0 maybe better.  NEAL ADAMS cover. Asking $10

Here's hoping another Super/man/boy/girl/pal/girlfriend that I don't have sneaks it's way into tonight's books!

Just woke up off the couch and Solar's doing a thread...happy days!

I'm too scared to look back, however, to see what I missed.

What the heck...I'll give it a shot this year!  Count me in.

Damn, I miss watching this show every night at 11pm on WTVS Detroit Public TV.

Yeah, I saw that one.  I guess I was looking for a global setting that would block the seller automatically without having to check it each time I do a search.

I would use a function like that...or at least to block the repetitive listings I see that are annoying for whatever reason.

So I stopped being lazy and googled it, and it looks like a conscious effort on ebay's end to not be able to automatically exclude certain sellers from your searches en masse.

I did go to a couple of my saved searches and edited them to include the aforementioned exclusion instructions, and it looks like it saves it in the search now.  Two down, 30 some other saved searches to go...
