BUMP

 

P.S. I know people aren't supposed to reply, but if not, then it'll slide off the radar pretty fast.

Round 1 was fairly easy , and everyone was pretty much on the mark.

Does that mean that the Daredevil #77 is a trap ? An unexpected grade ?

Who me

[nik]

Okay I was asked if I could get graders notes on the books for the contest.

 

This was pre-graded at a 9.0, final grade was a 9.2.

Graders notes were :

a]"light creasing left edge back cover, does not break color

b]tiny dents top front cover, does not break color,

c]light wear right edge, does not break color.

Geez, no mention of the bump at the top left corner or the spine stress line (the two defects that made us go with a 9.2).

 

So do the graders notes only state those defects that might not been seen once the book is slabbed?

You got me

[osborn_fr]

And what about the stains (?) or discoloration at the top of the front cover. This flaw is not on my copy

[Aces]

We did good!

 

Yes, that was an easy one.

From MK, this is the most entertaining one i got, even if it was serious and i am glad he is ok.

 

Crapola. Team The_Beyonder is a mess right now! He has apparently authorized me to submit our score since he wasn't going to be here (he PMed but we haven't discussed this), but now I can't be here because we've got tornadoes on their way and I have to go take cover. What does all this mean to you? Hell, I don't even know what all this means to ME!

 

Nobody's even told me what our official team grade was!!!

 

Regardless, I'm heading to the basement, and the internet will probably be going out in the next twenty minutes or so ( ), so I'm saying that our grade is a 9.4...

 

Gotta run!!!!

I told him to contact Chrisco to get his grade, and if I wasn't around for the deadline...to PM nikos with a grade. I figured he'd go 9.2.....but under the circumstances....we'll gladly take the .5
