    No, that is not how the competition works: that score on Spawn 1 would have lost 13 points. That book was one of my bulls-eyes
  2. Albert Thurgood
    Yikes. 3 bullseyes but still 7 points down. :-(
  3. Albert Thurgood
    I just know my scores are going to get hit by that hit on Hit Comics 5
  4. Albert Thurgood
    FWIW MCS has one they grade as 4 (meaning it should be 5+) for $40
  5. Albert Thurgood
    As others have said the spine split takes it down below 4.
  6. Albert Thurgood
    It looks like a water stain on the BC which usually means a 1 grade deduction, so I also think 4 to 4.5
  7. Albert Thurgood
    ST had the advantage over MT in having Berni Wrightson as the artist.
  8. Albert Thurgood
    IMHO no. It's in the 2-3 range. Only about 6 sub-3 books in the census indicating that most owners think they won't get their grading fees back from the sale. Anyone interested in buying it would be able to assess the grade for themselves.
  9. Albert Thurgood
    Agreed. The grader's notes mentioned a date stamp. I didn't know that this was deprecated.
  10. Albert Thurgood
    Me too :-(
  11. Albert Thurgood
    FWIW, MCS has a copy they graded at 6.0 (which translates to at least 7) for $170
  12. Albert Thurgood
    It's a short way of saying "Me too". As in add my vote to this list.
  13. Albert Thurgood
    5.5
  14. Albert Thurgood
    4 to 4.5 also Question: is that the first double-page spread in comics? Even though the artist did not make the most of the extra real estate ;-) I am guessing someone will come up with an earlier example, but 1960 is pretty early.
  15. Albert Thurgood
    + another 1
  16. Albert Thurgood
    5.0
  17. Albert Thurgood
    I also thought 8 but if this mark is a crease/scratch it would take it down.
  18. Albert Thurgood
    ^Agreed.
  19. Albert Thurgood
    I'm usually one of the most lenient here, but with that torn cover (?and is it stained or a trick of lighting?) I would say 1.8; without the chunk missing, 3.5
  20. Albert Thurgood
    7.5
  21. Albert Thurgood
    My first thought was 5.5.
  22. Albert Thurgood
    Looks so much better in the slab than in the original pics!

    I buy from "US-only" threads and use a US trans-shipping company to combine packages and ship them on to me in Australia. Overall it is cheaper than using USPS and MUCH MUCH quicker.
