Wow, I felt okay with the 27, I felt it could have gone .5 either way and would have been happy with 3 points there. The second book to me was the tough one. I had a huge spread on that one, but in the end I just guessed and felt I liked it as much as the other, so I gave them both the same grade.

I was deciding between a 6.0 and a 6.5 on that book until I saw the hideously foxed/stained bottom inch of the front cover. After seeing that I didn't think it could possibly be above Fine.

Me too. I must've missed something obvious on the TTA.

Crash

burn

Sneaky having both books the same grade, it made me second guess both, which I had at 6.0.

So I went up with one and down with the other

[jimbo_707]

Hmmm...I thought the Tales to Astonish had some bad staining that looked like foxing or moisture damage on the bottom two inches of the book, so I gave it a pretty low grade. What was I seeing??? I still can't tell.

[MR SigS]

Sneaky having both books the same grade...

 

I figured that's what Andy was doing, but with all the stains, heavy foxing, dirty corner creases and CB's, I figured 4.5-4.5

Tales of Suspense 27 Final Grade 6.0

I'm thinking

 

 

7.0 nope

6.5 outside shot

6.0 likely grade

5.5 possibly due to the foxing and the upper corner chip and minor creasing

5.0 nope

 

Tales to Astonish 7 Final Grade 6.5

 

8.0 nope

7.5 nope

7.0 possibly, I've seen some with the spine reader creasing that once pressed made 7.0, but it was a stretch in my opion.

6.5 the likely grade on this one

6.0 depending on if that is staining on the cover.

5.5 nope

You better load up the Paypal

 

You spotted me 2 points and now I've got you on the ropes

 

Or do I.

[Midnightowl-migration]

I wasn't even close on either on them. I seen all that staining and really downgraded for it.

As I know you have many PH books to compare as well, I did the sensible thing and compared these books to my many many mid-grade PHs...based on the grades of my CGC graded books I quickly ruled out 6.0 and higher...went 5.5 on both books...

 

Guess I got some re-subbin' to do...

 

Can I get any bonus points for knowing both books had the same grade??
