  1. You could post it in the Hey buddy can you spare a grade section and see what people grade it as. From there use online tools like gpanalysis or gocollect and ebay to get an idea of what slabbed copies in that grade are selling for. All that being said, and assuming nothing we can't see inside is much worse, yeah it's likely worth that.
  2. Alone that flaw would probably put the book in 9.4 territory. I think an experienced presser should be able to improve it so that it's not as noticeable, but not remove all traces of it. Another concern would be, would a high volume pressing service be able to address it properly? I think it would require special attention.
  3. I wanted to go but just had too much on my plate last week. Hope it was a good show!
  4. I saw the bottom part but I didn't see the top part. Still kind of looks like 2 separate creases. Is this the book holding up the results?
  5. If you're looking for thoughts for other prizes, maybe some forum bling or temporary custom titles that last until the next contest.
  6. As an experienced VHS grader (this will be my first time) I give it a 9.0, Off-Black to Black Mylar magnetic tape. FROM THE AXE ELF COLLECTION.
  7. Yeah looking back I did misinterpret a couple of those. Lesson learned. Now I just need 5 bullseyes to finish strong. At least I got my first bullseye this round.
  8. 10 this round. Would've done great but Howard killed my score. I guess all those defects along the top edge didn't matter after all.
  9. Grades in. This time I avoided looking at them closely all week, and then graded them quickly like I would working through a longbox. Previous rounds have me overthinking how CGC would currently grade them.
  10. Just saw this. I saw him at many shows the last several years and he always looked in such great shape for his age. Very surprising and sad.
  11. I'm no expert, but... that don't look right to me. Verdict: Trimmed
  12. When I looked at this last night my gut reaction was 1.5 and I still agree with that.
