Guess The Grades with a Twist

[DiceX]

I will post 3 different books which were purchased from three different venues. One was from Ebay which was advertised as a NM. One was from my LCS which we thought was a VF. And the last one from Heritage which was advertised as a NM-. I didnt include back cover scans, because IMO there was really nothing that would stick out to sway your guess. I will post the grades early next week.

 

If by some crazy wild chance anyone guesses the correct grades and from whom the books were bought I will send him a Modern CGC book as a prize.

 

 

Avengers 27 was the Heritage NM- / CGC grade = 9.6

X Men 40 was LCS VF / CGC grade = 9.0

ASM 122 was eBay NM / CGC grade = 8.5

 

 

[blutobc]

my 2 cents

 

 

Avengers 27 was the Heritage NM- / CGC grade = 9.4

X Men 40 was ebay NM / CGC grade = 9.2

ASM 122 was LCS VF / CGC grade = 9.0

 

Surely you were happy with the Avengers and X-Men...nice books.

I was pretty pleased with all of them, and my name aint Surely

[jokersrevenge]

ok here goes. i'm trying to be optimistic.

avengers 27 9.4 ebay

x-men 40 8.0 lcs (incidentally just sold a pwj #1 at 8.5 that looked as good as any of these)

spidey 122 9.2 heritage

[jokersrevenge]

oops sent it too early. just ranting about grading difference between modern and silver/bronze comics

Question? Were these books stated in those conditions before you had them slabbed? Or did you buy them slabbed?

 

If the first case is true....

 

Avengers 27, 9.0, Heritage

X-Men 40, 8.0, LCS

ASM 122, 9.4, eBay

Yes

[Hobgoblin]

There are quite a few stresslines on the X-Men 40 to warrant a 9.0 or higher. I'm a little confused at those who give it those scores.

Not that I disagree, but this question may be best directed to your therapist

Congrats to Divad for nailing the grades at least, and I think someone else nailed where they were purchased from

 

 

Avengers 27 was from Ebay

 

X-Men 40 was from Heritage

 

Spidey 122 from LCS

[Hobgoblin]

That X-Men got an 8.5? Inconceivable!!!

Actually, Inconceivable (Dan, the reigning grading champion) gave it a 9.0

I was too late to join the contest, but I guessed all of the grades correctly too. I'm not saying this to try to win the prize. I just wanted to throw that out there in order to fan the flames of mystique surrounding my freakishly accurate grading abilities.

Avengers - 9.4 Dealer

 

X-Men - 8.5 EBay

Mystique! mmmm

Forgot, Big Hooties to Jim for nailing the grades also

If that X-Men got an 8.5 with that amount of spine stress marks, I'm going to send ALL my books to CGC
