What did others guess? I went 9.4 on the flash. I considered 9.2 but thought I was harsh. The crime one I nailed

Congrats to all and thanks ☺️ Mike for a fun contest! I’ll gun for higher come the next one!

Oh well let’s not then. I’m sure we will after anyway

Until Mike reveals, do the remaining three feel comfy sharing what they thought? I do. Or if you wanna stay secret, I respect that too!

Reveal them now! Reveal them now!

7.0-7.5

I don’t think I would consider any marvel books from the 60s “ghosts” in terms of them being scarce or hard to find. If you have money, they are all available and can be found in a second. Certain high grades on certain books may be “ghosts” to find though. If you want to talk true scarcity in the comic world, you gotta go pre 1955 IMO

Thanks! Probably an error made that happened on them all

As an aside, if anyone has this ish, can you let me know if the letters page being printed backwards like this is a normal error for this book:) The page on the right should be on the left and vice versa no???

So I feel like I know where I would put this grade wise….if the top staple wasn’t pulled through the centrefold page only! How far of a hit does it have on this one? Thanks!

If we get them submitted sooner can the results be revealed sooner :)….suspense kills me

5 points for me this round. Two bullseyes. 19 total for me. Likely just outside the top three but I gave it my all

Hmmm gonna need to nail a couple from round four in order to get into that top three

Am I still in any sort of lead? Where be these magical standings?!?

Ummmm it’s a reprint….hope someone didn’t play ya for a song selling it to ya

Some guys had 5 this round tho....

7 points for me. I was too generous on the FF and too mean to the Thrillers, as both cost me 2 points. Was only a grade off on the rest

Thanks all! And the original pics don’t show it well but the reds are def there. I took video too (which I didn’t post) prior to sending and I talk about it in the video I took. Maybe pressing made them more pronounced. At any rate she is on my wall, proudly displayed!!!

I’m happy. One bullseye on the Hit and then everything else I was off by 0.5

Upon reflection I agree. I guess I hyped it up in my mind too much. A lot of the small bends were pressed out. And when I looked back at the video I took, 9.0-9.2 after press was my guess so I my dreams of higher must have manifested during the wait

Here is the book before encapsulation

So I sent in this Marvel Spotlight 32, really thinking it was 9.4-9.6 easily. It came back 9.0 which is fine but of course, no notes. So I am left to guess. Could the red inks that bled through on the back be the reason? I always thought printing defects were given a pass but I know CGCs modern graders are all over the map these days and might have deducted for this.

9.6 Pleased with this!!!

Haha I will be pleasantly surprised if it’s me. The Dell and one other (forget off the top of me head) gave me pause when submitting. Plus I did so on my iPhone which from last experience, is never good My round 1 score I did on my laptop, taking the time to zoom and really look as best as possible and I find it does make a difference, even though I can zoom on my phone. There is something about a larger screen that allows me (at least me anyway) to see things more accurately
