  1. The plastic comic embracing pieces added in on the newer slab could be blurring out what we're seeing in the newer slab as well making it harder to visualize the actual area of book as it's behind the extra plastic.
  2. I wish there would have been a "Cash-out" option after round 3. I would have been satisfied with a "I'm only 4 points behind Jon" T-shirt and $1.50 grading credit at that point knowing I was heading into a 7-10 point round on round 4
  3. I agree on that for the PC they are nice. I had many many done last round with some duplicates but still need so many for that run. Costly adventures these SS events but some nice signed books to be had for sure ;-)
  4. From 15 to 23 I go. No wonder Mike offered popcorn emoji Grats to all that did good and to those that came top 3. You guys deserve it! Thanks to Mike again for another great contest!
  5. The last couple episodes were great imo. Hope it continues on for sure!
  6. I've seen good grading and some ebay gems before but pound for pound this one's definitely a top contender for the 9.8 grade title. I imagine since the back of the comic was probably a CGC 10.0 there was no need for a back cover scan so I didn't include that.
  7. Yeah I'm not catching up other than quite a few ppl under me gaining 5-6 points each and me getting 5 bullseyes so got my grades in earlier than my norm. Looking at these books was like a trip into the twilight zone trying to assign a grade. Good luck to all and thanks again Mike for running another grading contest as they are fun win or lose. Or in my case lose or lose
  8. Lois took me for a couple too. Had it at a 6.5 then moved it down to a 6 before submitting.
  9. granted Mopsy had a bigger tear than the book they assigned a 6.5 grade to on round 1 but after seeing that tough to make a judgement call on where the grade will fall with a tear. I messed up and forgot to downgrade that book on round 1 I was so late submitting too. Fail on both tear books.
  10. Usually adding a bit of space on the older stuff as the grades seem more forgiving on SA GA.
  11. Yeah it's kinda hit and miss my friend ;-). Sometimes I try and grade it as I think they would grade it and sometimes I try and grade it as I think it should be graded lol.
  12. Thanks for running this as all the other contests Mike. As much as some of my guesses aren't where they should be, it's 100% always fun. .A good tool overall to help everyone learn to grade.
  13. Into the double digits I go. Grats on all that did well this round and good luck!
  14. 3 bullseyes on the above mentioned. Watch me fall straight on my buttocks now on the less than 8.5's
  15. oh jeeze I never changed my comet score after seeing that either. Coulda had done my best round yet. What a derp.
  16. Sounds like mine lol. Racket Squad in Action #12 - @ 5.0 Iron Man #4 - @ 9.2 Comet #1 - @ 7.5 HoS #90 @ 9.0 Adventure into Fear #10 @ 8.5 Good start for me though as there's usually one I heavily botch up at the start.
  17. the season 4 exit music wise .............. priceless. Good show It's here and there sometimes but definitely worth a watch. Solid show imo.
