I can never ever sell books for profit. I am way under-grading everything. I realize it is my fault, but CGC sucks anyway!!

I checked the census after submitting my grades an saw the WOF was either an 8.0 or a 6.0. With those two busted corners, I would have thought the 6.0 more likely.

I dislike this round.

 

I no longer dislike this round.

The Marvel Mystery I figured was either a 3.5 or a 'gift' 4.0. I gambled on the 4.0 and lost.

 

The World of Fantasy, yeah... it's a pretty book, but seemed like a lot of things going on there (spine scuff, spine ticks, heavy bend etc) for an 8.0. I said 7.5 but 7.0 wouldn't have shocked me either.

 

 

[SpideyFein]

I thought 7.0 all day. With the non-color breaking creases, I thought no way higher than 7.5. Of course, I should have stuck with the 3.5 on the MM. Lowered it to 3.0. Ahhh. I was feinin for a double bullyeye, now I just want one!!!

I thought 7.0/7.5

 

Was very happy with the 8.0. It is a sharp book that is nice and tight!

Bullyeyes are very elusive. You have to be pretty damned lucky to get one.

I knew that MM was a 3.5 or a 4.0 I was just afraid it would get the GA bounce ugh and went 5.5 good grief

3.5

 

7.0 - I guess I should have checked the census - but it's not always up to date, and I would have had to coin flip between a tough 6.0 or a soft 8.0.

So, I realize there are all kinds of tools out there to help one figure out a grade, but doesn't using the census to pick your grade take away the "skill" (or lack there-of in my case ) and intention of the contest?
