Reached my goal of being in top 100, hope i can keep my position :wishluck:

 

*bronze age fan* where the F were you those first 8 rounds ? (shrug) Could have been top 3 at least...

 

 

Hey, thanks bro! But I am just getting lucky. I am sure I would have messed up the first 8 rounds! lol. And i am sure I will start to mess up from this point out..lol. I always liked this contest! its alot of fun! Thanks to all who are running it, and inviting me to join even after I missed the first 8 rounds (because i didnt even know it was taking place :tonofbricks:)

I'm so glad I've stopped buying graded books.

 

Exactly. I will NEVER buy a graded book.

 

No way that pig is better than a 2.5!

 

The owner must have paid CGC a "little extra" to get that 3.5! :pullhair:

Then the two of you may want to buy from Ebay. The book is a VG- (thumbs u

If I bought that as a 3.5 from any venue it would be going straight back.

Why? I would consider anything below that to be in far worse shape. I think being here is distorting your views, most here severely undergrade low grade books for fear of being outcast.

Agreed. A 4.0 is not that great of a book, but if the paper is not brittle it will hold.

I got a bullseye on the Avengers book which was a 4.0. In my eyes there isn't a .5 difference in the two books.

I read the following guide on an ebay listing once, and rather liked it's simplicity: "Very Good isn't, but Very Fine is."
