Much better start than last year

[jaybuck43]

Just don't know how a book with a rusted staple gets a 9.0 SMH graders.

Books with CGC grades.

The ASM 4 fooled me as I thought there was a felt cover vertical scuff. :-)

 

Guess that's production or part of the art ?

Just a reminder about how the seeding round is scored:

___________________________________________________

 

5. Each player’s won-loss record will be determined as follows:

 

Spot on= 3 wins

Within .5= 2 wins

Not within .5 = 1 loss

Not within 1= 2 losses

Bonus= The third spot on grade will be granted 1 bonus win, fourth= 2 bonus wins, fifth through tenth= 3 bonus wins.

 

Is .5 off a 2 win or 1 loss?

Can I clarify "not within 1" would mean a guess of 8.0 when the grade is 9.0 would qualify as -1?

Hang on. I'm confused. 2 purple label books??? I though all restoration was disclosed with scans. Did I miss something?

The restoration/conservation had nothing to do with the grades.

[The-Collector]

I did alright. Three spot on, three within .5 and none more than 1.0 away. 15 and 3.

Ok Blowie, so in the future, it will be disclosed if it might affect the grade? Thanks. Can't believe how off I was on that Superman 1.5 was my guess.

The Ringo Kid 6 says 9.0 in your scan,so is it 7.5 or 9.0?

'tis a double cover. And since we can only grade the outside 7.5 seems fair.

Exactly. The inner cover and pages had nothing to do with the grade of the outer cover. The outer cover graded a 7.5

It's a double cover. First cover is a 7.5

Yes, in the future if the restoration/conservation impacts the grade, it will be disclosed. In this round the restoration/conservation did not affect the grades.

I guessed 3.5 but am surprised as well. It definitely presently more poorly than the JIM 84 and most 4.0s I have seen.

GRADES

 

 

 

I suck.

 

 

I really thought that corner on the Ms. Marvel was gonna drop the grade wayyy down...

[djpinkpanther67]

I did okay I guess

[SpideyFein]

Not one bullseye, but close on all, except the Swamp thing and WD. Why only 9.0 and 8.5?
