  1. Yeah...tough round...especially when I can't even find/see some of the grader's comments ...grades submitted.
  2. Well you start with it's minimum 4.0/4.5...presents very nicely so I'm at 5.0/5.5...not thinking it warrants a 6.0. I always grade books as if they were my books and I were selling them and want to make sure I have a happy buyer on the other end.
  3. No worse than a 2.0 IMO. Possible 2.5/3.0 depending on CGC's grading mood any particular day. A full back cover pic would be helpful. Imagine this book put forth for sale with all the pics as a 3.0 I don't think you'd get crazy pushback. I think 2.0/2.5 is a safe position.
  4. Get some rest Mike...lol. Wish you the best. All good...CGC love to all. And CONGRATS to the winnahs!
  5. My worst round by 1 point...ugh. Four rounds 7/4/7/8 = 26 double ugh. I guess I don't know how to grade the old GAs...had 5.0 in the toggle for the first 4 books but started at 6.0 on the OBIE and went with 6.5 for the GA bump...the GA bump always seems to enter my mind as I think many GAs I see are overgraded by .5 to a full point for seemingly that reason. Did manage a bullseye on the PEP. THX for the diversion/fun Mike/CGC. CONGRATS to the WINNERS and TOP SCORERS!!
  6. Hardest round yet for me...usually I find it pretty easy to get to a 2 grade toggle...with this round I had reasons to consider a 4-grade range (includes .5s of course)...not in the running but wanting to finish as best as possible...
  7. Have you read Fredrik Backman's "Anxious People"? I highly recommend it...those who have read it will understand this tag post
  8. 7 round for me...normally par or so for me but I had higher expectations...if I throw out the Supe/Lois book I'm at 4. Started off with a bullseye and then downhill from there...one off on two other books and then was at 6.0 for the My Secret Life book (1957) so off by 2 points but looks nicer especially when held up against the rest of the bunch (didn't even have a 5.5 toggle on that one only 6.0/6.5). I'll say it again...if I bought that Supe/Lois book as a 7.0 I'd be sending it back...
  9. Had that one at 5.5...tried to go to 6.0 for a 1958 book but couldn't do it...
  10. I actually thought this round was harder than last round... We shall see. Grades submitted.
