Two 🎯 and 3 points. Had X-men at 9.6 and changed at the last minute.

Silver Surfer #10 - 8.0 (8.0) 🎯
X-Men #87 - 9.4 (9.6) 1
Jungle Action #21 - 9.2 (9.4) 1
Web of Spidey #51 - 7.0 (6.5) 1
Y: The Last Man #1 - 9.0 (9.0) 🎯

Ending with 22 points, 7 bulls and +5 on CA #192 and its production defect! Oh well.

Thanks again to CGC Mike and his sprites for another frustratingly awesome contest.

See you in July!

Grades in

So the line is a printing defect. Well then this is a me problem then.

I still think it’s disingenuous to include that book in the contest.

My very raw, very cranky reaction about the Cap book grade is
I originally had it graded as a 9.0/9.2 and saw that 4” white line on the back cover and thought it was a crease and downgraded the book to a 7.0.

I think throwing in books with barely visible non-defects is screwed up, That book is unfair specimen and playing outside the margins

This goes beyond guessing the grade and into “what’s the grainy white line on the back cover? Is it a 4” crease or did someone lose a string from their shirt when scanning the book?”

Congrats to the players who missed the line and aced the grade on the book

It should be a fun finish, zzu.

When it's all over, we may find that grading the actual books was easier than working out who to give 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th to

I’m going to need a strong lead out train and a tail wind to move up from 12 points. Bunch sprints are not easy to win,

Interesting. I'm not a Transformers #1 expert, but I checked out some graded copies on eBay and I noticed the same thing.

@CGC Mike - in the off chance that the back cover posted doesn't correspond to the Transformers #1 front cover that was posted, one option is for CGC to give the book a hypothetical grade based on the front and back cover scans provided. That would seem to be seem to be a fair enough approach, since that's what everyone who has submitted grades so far would have done (and it wouldn't require striking out, or replacing a book which could be a pain for you).

It’s the 3rd Print

ADAMANTIUM · April 21

Well that’s done.

Grades in.
