  1. Grades submitted! Felt very confident.... But wait, what's that? Do I hear self doubt and second guessing knocking at the door?
  2. Edge ware tanning on the back cover are some of the things I remember
  3. My dial-a-psychic bill is going through the roof and my analyst won't return my calls! I think I may have a comic book problem ... ?
  4. That was me last round, over thinking going in circles. I kinda went nuts?
  5. Grades in...now there's just the waiting and the self doubt and the crippling wave after wave of second guessing ?
  6. Also that back cover is supposed to be white. It was tanning or browning whatever its called, aged. That with the stain IMO kept it from being NM. The front alone looked 9.2-9.4 great condition! I've seen it a lot on SA books and I often wonder if it comes from being stored with a non acid free backing board for years? Any thoughts?
  7. Even last gets a prize! I'm sure you won't end up last. ? were all trying to measure up to the best of the best the CGC!
  8. Me too! I am another first timer, having lots of fun! I really appreciate it! I've been out of it for years and as of 2 months ago I was trying to grade my collection with the old 1992 grading guide??!? (How much could grading have changed?) found the latest guide online a month ago and have been playing catch up ever since. This kind of thing is exactly what I needed. Thanks greeneggs!!!
  9. This round was really tough! From the start I thought the books might grade the same. Unfortunately after much second and third guessing I went with 8.5 for JIM because of the discoloration on the back cover and went with a 9 for Alf (bump?). I must consult my swami for round 5 I'll bring in my astrologers for a second opinion?
  10. If you're like me all you can afford are the lower grades of the keys LOL! Its marketing my boy. Good ol capitalism! Now I can buy an upgrade from my 1.5 copy and not have to pay the outrageous 2.0 price! ?
  11. Grades submitted? Eeeesh what did I doooooo! Noooo! Too late now!????
  12. IKR? It was ground breaking. The grandfather of grading guides. Happy fathers day to all you dads out there!
  13. The Flash would have to run us back in time to 1992 for those grades to be accurate. While we were in 92 we could pick up some key books cheap!
