I bow down to byosti - scan grader extroadinaire! (worship)

 

I'll take small satisfaction in beating Steve, who actually got to look at the books in hand.

 

and a thank you and congrats to Steve - it looks like the surprise grades were mostly in your favor - well done!

 

It looks like heritage is a fairly reliable CGC +.5 when it comes to grading - nice catch on the Young Love though.

Um..... ???

 

yes - it does seem as if a random grade generator couldn't have done much worse. Does this mean we should be buying books from - or selling books to - c-mack? :baiting:

 

Perhaps he should be put up on the probation list. :shrug:

 

Totally kidding, c-mack. :foryou: Just having some fun, that's all. (thumbs u

Unfortunately, I only chose the ones that I thought were close/worth sending in. I have quite a few Crippens that were overgraded by 1+ points :(

 

I do think their current grading is a bit tighter than it used to be (thumbs u
