The Jingle Jangle book looks better in the photo than it does in the scan. Nice looking book.

[Point Five]

Those discolourations on the JJ that aren't on the other 9.4 must be "good" ones, not "bad" ones.

They are the AWESOME kind of discolorations!

So does The Avengers.

[SpideyFein]

My worst round yet. I thought a little higher on the Avengers, but I thought the Jingle Jangle for sure had some staining spots that I thought they'd nail. It must be part of the book

[stanley1883]

So what happens to those that miss the deadline?

 

They get Zeros, but they really should get -1 per book. No way skipping a test should get you a higher mark than being a man and giving it a shot.

 

 

+1

I still don't know how you get an 8.5 with all those reading creases on the outside edge, along with the other incidental damage. CGC must have chocked it up to "bad printer edge" right, as they hammer "Mylar creases" worse than that one a similar-condition book.

[Conan_Aficionado]

Looked like soiling or foxing all over the jingle jangle cover.

So true.

No, they aren't. They evidently got a pass because... I dunno

[mr_highgrade]

I gave the AV 8.0 & JJ 9.0

[Hado]

Ugh

I think the bc was the worst part of the Avengers 54. Guessed 8.0, but there's no way I actually think the book is even an 8.0.

 

Over graders special. Keep it on the same shelf as the World's Finest 88.

[mr_highgrade]

If the JJ was a a bronze or Silver book it would never receive a 9.4.

Yeah, I had 7.5 initially, which I thought was a fair grade for the book, but if I bought that as an 8.5, I would be very disappointed. Just too much stuff going on.

 

There is really no explanation other than CGC quantifying those reading creases as "Marvel chipping/dull printer blades" or similar.

If it's interior cover bleed thru, I think it would.

[drewincanada]

I thought it was soiling at first, too, but I realized it's too regular a pattern. It had to be show through from the inside cover. Look at the "stain" that runs in a straight line from the turtle up through the alligator's face. Stains wouldn't likely form a straight line. I may be wrong, but that's what I assumed, and I gave it a 9.2.

[Jester Hats]

Uh oh. I really messed up this time.

[jcjames]

 

Dialing it in...

 

Just goes to show ya' never know what discolorations will do to a grade.

 

It's all very subjective.

Huh. Good thinking! Never occurred to me.

+1 my thoughts exactly.
