Un-Official Nik Grading Contest Crying Room

[dwip99]

[Mr.Diggler]

I said 9.2, but could have gone 9.0 or 9.4. The book honestly looks like a nice copy, should have added the Nik bump. Now im just tied with Boozad...

And me. You're in good company.

[zuckuss2003]

I said 9.2, had an odd feeling it might have been a 9.4 but I didn't like that tiny crease and stuck with a 9.2

[Dick Pontoon]

I saw it as a 9.4, but have seen so many high grade books with CB creases that left me scratching my head that I went 9.6.

A scan can both magnify and hide defects.

[WEBHEAD]

Okay, I could see this anywhere in the 9.2 to 9.6 grade, but really who guessed 6.0?

 

Anyways, I saw it as a 9.2 and bumped it to the 9.4. So I lucked out there.

 

 

You really want to know

Above a 7 with that lower right corner bend? Spine creases ??

Yeah that was me picking a 6. Actually pegged it at a 7, but

I always think of myself wish as liberal with black covers.

 

Totally agee I did not grade it above 8.0

 

I think these books should have been submitted in an assumed name so there would be no B U M P

 

 

I gotta send in all my books now...

I did see the corner crease but the rest of the book was

lovely.

It was Windexed prior to scanning.

I like all the stats that are showing up.. I think the contestants should put together a stats on our guesses and the graemlins that we get in response.. 24 Rounds of being laughed at, thumbed up, I bet we could find the pattern

[thirdgreenham]

I picked 9.4 because that's what it is.

I couldn't bring myself to bump it to a 9.4, I went 9.2. Close, but no cigar.

 

+1

 

I was on the verge of typing 9.4 and then figured no way. CGC has been tight lately as well so i went with 9.2

+1...me too.

[DrWatson]

Tight... Loose... It's all in your mind.

[Point Five]

I would never sell a raw "9.4" that had a color breaking corner crease, no matter how small.

 

 

[asteroid-comix]

A 9.4

 

 

 

Gift grade

This is true. I was trying to figure out whether there was a bump at the bottom edge of the front cover as well.

[joe_collector]

That is a very generous 9.4 and I meticulously graded it for every visible defect and came up with a 9.2 at best.

 

Next time I am just going to guess.

[VintageComics]

Tight... Loose... It's all in your mind.

 

Depends on whether you are talking about comics or not.

 

[John R]

Yeah, that grade shocked me. I chose 8.5 solely on the basis that Overstreet says no corner creases on a 9.0 or better. Still it's fun to play this.

 

I am totally with you.I said 8.5 too as many spine ticks and a corner crease? I need to get a bunch of books graded right away while they are grading soft.

 

That's what I thought as well. Wanted to say 9.0 but thought it couldn't be with the corner crease and those spine ticks so lowered it to 8.5.
