  1. I went 6.5 too. I mean, I can't speak for the hundred or so people that went 5.5 or lower, but there's clearly some odds and ends going on with the book... bits of splitting visible at one or both spine corners, the paper loss at the bottom corner, the BC stain, and (ironically) the *top* staple appeared pulled-at-best, detached-at-worst. Even without knowing the bottom staple issue, reasonable enough to think the book was 'a near miss of Fine' or some variation on that. I've only noticed this discussion on this page, I put 6.5 as well after grading on the tablet. It's immediately why I posted when I awoke to the big monitor that I thought I too had over graded. I thought 5.5 made sense then just because I remembered similar books like that in this contest, similar to a piece missing out of a cover of a otherwise very nice bok. A 1st brainiac book comes to mind, although I don't remember why. I didn't notice a staple, nor did I read the notes. Although it looks clean from here, although I new I had over graded on a lot of them, I was dreading by how much but 5.5 makes sense
  2. When's your show, in June? I have a con June 9th and wanted to ask. You yourself were saying sometimes or nowadays people seem close to the vest, and it didn't seem like the time to question. 😂 Either way I look forward to it! Usually what I'm buying doesn't correlate to others as much, but I still find it all interesting since it is connected to the hobby.
  3. Whoa, that is sobering. Condolences and Prayers. He was always polite and with a attentive heart and ear. RIP
  4. Ah interesting contrast with the color, which I imagine was hard to do too! It almost looks like winde of the whiz of speeding bullets! Very cool.
  5. Even without seeing it colored, I'm guessing they're jumping into water to escape bullets? That would be hard to draw, but that is looking good!
  6. Ya idk, it's appreciated though! Truly. I've been out from other ones that people have posted here, I just never hear from someone who used it and it worked but that didn't get the email. Maybe I can text around. Or it'll happen here! Still I'm glad to have messaged ebay, we'll see.
  7. That looks to be a lot of slabs in the boxes too. I've wondered about that kind of set up, but content is probably different between dealers. I only noticed that at the last con or maybe one before, that set up. As far as I could remember it was only raws that were flippabel boxes. Good to know I've been blind, in short
  8. Other than "A $30 credit can be yours for setting up a CC", I get absolutely nothing from ebay. I didn't get this one nor the 3 to 4 others, its been this way since 2019. I just got done reporting it to ebay, confirming that all my boxes were checked under marketing preferences, they said "they'd look into it." idk I don't expect much, but really don't know what I'm missing either, which I was sure to point out to them as it is affecting my use of ebay.
  9. Must be by invite only as it didn't work for me anyway, so you're forgiven 😂
  10. Actually the math is still hard I got 8 pts that cerebus I pegged at 8.0, that was not what I expected at 9.0?
  11. I went 9.4 on one that was s9.0 And I went 9.0 on the other that was 9.4 bawawawahhwhwhw
  12. I did too, so don't cough too much hair in a ball, I rechecked and already figure the problems with mine Overkill ~ Metallica!
  13. Congrats!! A long time ago I missed opportunities, and now any of the 1st 3 printings with that cover is a treasured acquisition! I've seen some at the LCS like a 4.5 but priced at $500, a bit too much still to commit and I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for passing again haha. In short? CONGRATS!!
  14. I agree, and it's why I traded doubles for it. I wasn't aware of any news when I traded, so in a way I though I might have got it it on a low end so to speak. I agree in its importance and impact. Time would be on its side.
