Trying this again? Please grade this FF 48

[Higghawker]

I'm not the best at changing the DPI, resolution, etc. whatever??? I think your grades may change this time? Again, I hope this is better? Thanks for all your previous grades!!! Higghawker

[Higghawker]

O.K. I'm going to the Test Room and stand in the corner!!!! Never give up!!! Pitiful! Higghawker

Don't change the resolution/dpi. Just change the image size. Or if you want to leave the image full size, get an image hosting account for cheap at www.datazap.net, upload the file there, and link to the image here.

 

Or you can email the scans to me at sbonagof@aol.com and I'll shrink them down and host these ones for you.

[Higghawker]

Thank you, I'll send you the scans. Give me about 10 more years and I'll be up to speed!

FFB, a noble offer . . .

 

HH, What's a HiggHawker?

 

As FFB said, your issue is with image size not with resolution. You need to use a photo editor like Adobe Photo Deluxe, MS Picture Editor or Corel Picture Editor or some such to size your photos and compress them. Your scanning software typically does not do this, but it does generally come with a separate photo-editing application.

Here are your scans:

Nice book! I'd give it a 7.5

[VintageComics]

I'd have given this a 7.5 too, but i had a similar #48 copy come back 7.5 last year with no corner bump, so I'm going to say a very solid 7.0. Just my humble (and most-of -the-time) close guestimation...

[Higghawker]

Thanks to everyone for their help!!! I'm thinking a 7.0

 

FFB, a special thanks for taking your time and posting the scans, I'll work on it!!

DIV- About your question on what is a Higghawker? You almost ned to be a Missourian to understand, but here goes: I live in Missouri which is Mizzou Tiger country. I. since my parents are grads of Kansas U, was raised a Jayhawker! My hometown is Higginsville, MO., so I am a Higginsville Jayhawk fan, A Higghawker!!

 

Thanks again everyone, this board is by far the best on the net!!!!! William - Higghawker

I agree. I think the creased URC and the frayed ULC would drop it below 7.5.

 

7.0 or 6.5 on a strict day IMO.

 

Nice colors!

I think his book would get a 7.0, maybe a 7.5 if he's lucky. Just for comparison, here's a CGC 7.0, which I had also graded a 7.0 before submission:

 

FF48 7.0

I agree that the book in question is nicer than the 7.0 on Comiclink. But I think the book on Comiclink is overgraded... that top edge is way too rough for a 7.0 IMO.

For instance, this CGC 7.0 is much nicer than both books.

The book on ComicLink isn't overgraded. The top looks worse in the scan than in person. It's just rough overflash on top, along with a small tear. The URC is abraded as well. But the book overall is very tight. As I said, I had graded it 7.0 before I submitted it.

 

The other 7.0 in ComicLink has to have some defect that isn't showing up in the scan. That book looks more like a 9.0 than a 7.0.

[VintageComics]

I agree. If the book looks like it should be in the 9's but got a 7.0 there is probably a stain (or another hidden defect) somewhere to detract it, cause that 7.0 looks pretty awsome as far as mechanics are concerned. I've experienced this first hand.
