I can live with 3 points, only because I see 71 other people also thought a book with a corner that rounded was kept outa 9.6 range. While there may not be a Nik bump, I will make a motion to adopt a new term..the Nik Nudge.

 

Congrats to those who nailed it.

Wow - that's some rounded corner on a 9.6 (especially one with that obvious printing error on the BC). i realize that CGC doesn't typically downgrade much for printing errors but it just made the possibility of 9.6 seem even more remote........oh well...........

 

and BTW David, sticking to your (just guess what the majority guesses and you'll pile up the "5"'s) hasn't worked so well these past two rounds........... :tonofbricks:

Actually, if you guys spent any time around comics . . . :baiting:lol you'd have known that the corner in question wasn't rounded, but merely "blunted" :acclaim: And it pretty much is the lone defect on the book :headbang:

To spin this in a positive way, what this book tell me is that if it did not have that rounded corner it was a possible 9.8 candidate. And 25 centers are not graded as harshly as I thought. Lesson learned.

 

Thanks Nik,

 

I enjoy learning. But it makes my brain hurt. :(
