    I had a drama queen exit speech all ready to go too. Welp, maybe next week.

    Beautiful. Never knew that. Thank you!!

    Yes! That's what I want to be seeing. Is there a setting I can adjust to go back to that?

    Every forum now looks like a solid wall of text. Yikes! Much harder to parse, and impossible to scan a bunch of thread titles at once.

    Even by the standards of this thread, that is shocking. I am so sorry.

    Pickup from the Goldin auctions last month... my first Timely in eons. Super chuffed about this one!

    Well, they can scan these books or they can get your catalog out on time. They can't do both!

    5.5 was my first thought too. Cool cover!

    I do see your last four grades in the spreadsheet in the top post... 3, 3, 1, 3. Nothing has changed since I posted the chart last night. Check again? Happy to make the fix if I screwed something up (always possible) but it looks right to me.

    Some of you were pretty harsh on that poor Crime Mysteries! There's wear on/around the spine, true, but the book has positives... the rest of the cover looks clean and sharp. To me this is one of those forest-for-the-trees type things... someone not super plugged into grading like we are would consider this a *really* well-preserved 1950s comic book.

    Sorry... one more quick thank you as the end credits roll. My thanks as always to @sckao, who set up the Excel scoring sheet that I use for these contests back in 2020. I would not be able to program this scoring (or do it manually) to save my life. Not sure if he's still around here but his kindness is not forgotten. Thanks, Shin!

    13. Crime Mysteries #14 Grades varied widely on this one! Nice midgrade copy.
  22. Point Five
    12. True Love Pictorial #6 I had this at 3.5 in hand and most folks were somewhere around there too. Structure is pretty tight... strict grading on this one.
  23. Point Five
    11. Fight Comics #27 Looks like it might have squeaked out a 4.5 IMO? but nah.
