Zero rush. You've got time.

If you guys, or anyone else, wants to PM their grades I will record them and display the results just to make sure your math was correct.

It appears the spine is split only in this area:

I'm nervous that if I clean it, it won't pump out these sweet, sweet scans. If it ain't broke...

Before I forget, let's give thanks to my $1.98 Goodwill scanner for pumping out the sweet, sweet scans. The HP scanjet 7400c

The first comic I bought off of the rack was X-Men #103. Loved the book and continued buying X-Men off of the rack. Got to X-Men #137 and the copy I bought off the rack had a double cover. Stopped buying X-Men at #143 or so. Sold of my collection (as many of us did) before entering college. Still looking for a double cover X-Men #137. Can't find one. Probably has something to do with it being a square bond book with the outer (extra) cover not being glued on. In the meantime, I started putting together a X-Men double cover collection; have about 40 to 50 X-Men double covers. When those aren't available, I pickup other Marvel and DC double covers.

Yes. The lowest score of this round is eliminated. The highest two scores will play in the final.

Just a reminder, in the next round we are eliminating the lowest score to get to two final contestants.
