Thanks. Great to know.

Yeah, that too.

Nevermind. Now I know how to spot the difference. This seems to hold up in comparison with the Famous First Edition. But check out the Church copy. It's 10¢ price is "butted" left.

I know how to spot the differences between Action Comics 1 and it's Famous First Edition. Cover artwork differences that is, not just the size difference. I don't know about Superman 1. But looking at the pics, especially with the seller's hand as a size reference, this book looks big. Too big. I say it's not original.

I graded the book 9.6. I admit I missed the foxing. That's different than overlooking it. But I'm grading these books outside, on my phone and without my readers. Guess I'm lucky like the bloke whose book this is.

2 bullseyes and 5 points. Way over-graded (9.2) the Avengers 10. Missed 2 others by a single grade (under-graded). Not bad. I thought this round was probably the toughest we've ever seen and that I'd do horrible.

I'd like this to be them joining Endgame's final battle.

Heck, I started to fall asleep in movies in my 30s. I distinctly remember doing so watching Green Lantern. My 5 year old daughter had to wake me when the credits rolled.

If I drop another five places like I did after the end of the last contest then maybe that's for the best. Seriously though, your analysis and hard work is much appreciated. I had been wondering where this cumulative performance ranking was. Thanks very much.

Switch follow topic on.

+1 easy.

I think I need it in my collection.

First I've heard of it but I'll die on some hill believing it. When I bust it out I'll look for something like this -

Yeah, I at least nailed the GSX1 and was slightly off on this one. Note to myself - be more lenient.

Admittedly, besides EC Comics, GA isn't my bag. I appreciate the era and it's history and creators, but I prefer comics characteristic of my youth. And I'm not sure if I even heard of Baker until my return to the hobby a few years back. Heck, it might've been @Funnybooks profile pic that initially turned me on to him. Anyways, whether this is the start of a love affair or not (I understand his draw), I thought my collection ought to have an example of Baker's work in it. Thanks to @Point Fivefor his advice last week when I was thinking about purchasing this book. And although I found it's contents online to read (https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=21657), it'll be out of the slab and in Mylar by weekend's end.

I did not need to see this at the start of Mike's contest. Nice grade. Congratulations.

I'm going to put the "pro" in procrastination.
