ADAMANTIUM

Ah still a Bullseye!!

It does make it easier to be honest about what we put down, that I'm not a "wild and crazy guy!" Quick glances for me and a Method to the madness is a comfort. I used to think I could dial it in from there but I've been down that road as well. There have been genuine. books I've tried to be more proficient on, but the gut just as reliable or I'd like it better that way. Even in LCS's that's the example you get when they look a book over. I admire the pluck , I've tried this too, people who can go into spare a grade and describe their estimate and etc. Bit of promotion to that part of the forums! These are to me more fun when we get the grades back after 4 days, but the favor happens here too

Understood. I started to add more to my post, but I figured there was a reason a season boardie hadn't tagged. No worries! Lord willing it gets resolved, and or we hear the good news of it.

@CGC Mike

Well when you put it like that!

But dang if that isn't 10 points!

Off by two. 5.5 Off by one 7.5 Off by one.4.5 Off by two 2.0 Off by two 9.0 Which really is almost consistent than just plain awful That's a lot of work, it's appreciated @CGC Mike

chips fall where they MAY!!

Right! I was so focused on it at least it being a "correct" logo, that the rest I just assumed would be welcomed Until I started typing that tag post haha

What I imagine, knowing nothing but limited printing stuff from late eighties early 90s when I'd visit my parents work where my mom did this, is the maroon from the cover and below the price box ran over somehow on the rollers. Or some kind of transfer of such.

It's really an odd thing to notice like a centimeter or less line that is a darker impression, probably due to the maroon type cover imo, but I'll try to point it out better. Otherwise I don't want to think this hard haha - I see noting hogan's heroes!

Or as mentioned whatever is on the first page? I also wonder what page quality these slabs or raws have. Hiding behind the cover. Idk. But some covers are more 'see through" than others as well.

Neither can I. Best I could tell it looked like some tanning in the teal color by Spidey right leg. What he may call spots, could be considered splotches of what looks to be brown or darker teal, like tanning or dirt from handling. Like from handling with dirty hands, which may be a typical place to hold the comic. @Timed I didn't really "see it either" , but what I mentioned is kind of there on most the copies you posted and or circled? It's a stretch, but I know cgc ignores manufacturing stuff most of the time, and I would say a consensus is, the way it was printed and whether bleed through from front page and etc. Could be why you see it on most or what not.

Ya it's tough to go around the windmill again, after the egregious characters deformation, and I'm sure it will start and stop. I hope they can get a new character going to bring back or retcon old ones, but I'm curious why they think now will be a good time to a new reader. Like I remember when I "first picked up comics" that those characters ended up making a big impact. Are there new readers? I mean at least this new character may not be mature readers idk. So bigger audience.... I'm curious what advantage to sell the comics and pick up readers they have? They surely are busines minded, but it's hard to tell.

Of course!

Awesome awesome awesome 😎 complete in box?

That's more info than we had. 🥂

Tbh I thought when you said "sometime today" that it would be at 5 eastern, like it was to be on Friday We're just making Hay while the sunshines!
