2015 Green Eggs Grading Contest- Round 3

[Lavaman-migration]

It's a Dark Art!! That FF looks way better than a six.... I had it down as an 8.5 !

 

The Avengers #57 from round 1 has screwed my mind! If that's an 8 how's this just a 6?! A dark art for sure.

 

Bullseye on Superman tho

[DeadOne]

+8 for me as well

6.0 on the FF and 3.0 on the Superman

Oy vey. CGC must be penalizing tanning more than they used to. I had the FF at 8.0.

 

I gave the Supes a 2.5. I thought they'd punish the scribbles & grime on the back more than they apparently did.

Exact same grades I submitted

[jcjames]

Well, my strategy of grading higher than what I would have personally graded it didn't work out this time around.

 

I would have nailed the Sup perfectly if I hadn't been so spooked by those ultra-generous grades in the last two rounds, I gave Sup a 4.0

 

But that FF.... wow, only a 6.0 compared to the "8.0" AV57 rag that started this game. Wow. I gave the FF an 8.0 too.

 

Ah well, it's all good...

Crazy I had the FF at 8.0 as well, very tricky. I went with 4.0 on superman, almost went lower.

Results are up! And I am outta here....!

Wow. I graded the FF 9.4. They crush books with halos that bad??. Very bad round for me, -2.

Got one of these after submitting my grades, Yes very trixie indeed precious.

[Noodlez]

Bullseye and a grade off... i think I can get used to this...

I had 7.0 on the FF, 4.0 on the Superman --- and he gave me this in the PM:

[Shark]

427Impaler and snowman28 must have been stoned, drunk or both to have gotten 2 bullseyes on THAT round.

I'm learning as well, guys. This book may very well be a re-sub candidate, but it certainly tells me that tanning on the covers should not be taken lightly. Other than that, the book is really sharp and presents like a 7.5/8.0, IMHO. When I subbed it, I was hoping for an 8.0.

The interiors of that FF 46 must have been browner than the insides of my two footer after my last year of college

jeez-- wash your pipe, bra

[Plantman]

I had a gut feeling that the FF46 was going to grade off the "expected" 7.5-8.5 range. Unfortunately, I went the wrong way.

How fried are the interior covers?

 

The color loss/tanning/foxing at the bottom of the cover is pretty substantial, which would lead me to believe that the interior cover is pretty burnt, but I may be wrong @ that. That's what brought me to guess 6.5.

 

Anyhow, you're totally right, the book presents like an 8.0.

I don't remember. I just remember buying it and placing it in my "send to CGC" pile.
