  1. imho...a 1.0" cb crease or greater automatically drops the book to vf or less
  2. 7.5..maybe 8.0 on the first copy since it's just creased I would consider the second copy if you must choose one. it appears closer to 9.0 but I would hold out for a better copy. seller seems to be overgrading
  3. 7.0/7.5 on the first copy depending on if that defect is a tear 8.0/8.5+ on the second copy if those are the lone defects more pics would help...
  4. Patience can also cost you money. I would suggest you pick up a copy that appeals to you until you can "upgrade" in the future. I would bet apples to oranges that after you've owned the copy for a while, that you won't care that the pages are designated CR-OW.
  5. same guys are scooping them up for themselves. Also probably the same guys that would never buy a cleaned and pressed book but now have submissions at CGC
  6. CR/OW has never deterred me ( Golden Age ) as much as W/ has never enticed me ( Unless Golden Age )

  9. Posting on behalf of friend who is organizing The Collector's Summit... Origin Story: Our Origin Story Hey Everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Nathan, the face behind Kihei Collectibles & The Collectors Room Discord Server. I am a long-time collector of many odds & ends. For years, I have been looking for a way to benefit a community who has provided me with so much as well as supported my passion for collecting. After attending multiple conventions, I grew tired of sifting through a sea of cosplayers, tire-kickers, and waiting in long entry lines which resulted in me moving the majority of purchasing & selling online. While I enjoy the online community, I also enjoy the social aspect of a convention and the opportunities to dig through boxes upon boxes of amazing material. I searched for a way to elevate the convention experience to cater to serious collectors and provide a more focused event for dealers and vendors. For too long conventions have become congested by trying to appeal to hundreds of different fandoms resulting in convention floors being overwhelming and flooded with cosplayers, as well as the dealer experience being tainted with tire-kickers wasting their time. Collector's Summit is bringing the focus back on the collector by removing the distractions and filler content. We are gathering private collectors & dealers under one roof to provide them with two days of a high quality marketplace, worthwhile networking and a chance to socialize and build relationships with some of the most active members of the collecting community.
