MY REASONING WAS PRODUCTION ERROR-OTHERWISE WHO WOULD SLAB A BOOK WITH THAT IF IT WAS DAMAGE.

Just bump the PM.  I've having issues using the search PMs feature.

I was going WTF as well so I looked at that book on EBAY and saw that it was the art for the page...

Wow, never would have seen that.  I still buy moderns, but not CM.  Would have crashed and burned on that book.

Did very well on the first 3 books.  Bombed on the Showcase.

Nailed two, just off on the CM and way off on the Showcase.  Thought it looked 7.5ish based on other books I just got back.  Is there a reading crease I missed?

Not too many contestants dropped the ball on the CM.

PM bumped and I had already posted the screenshot...

Woot.  2 bullseyes and a .5 and 1.0 off.  I totally had the CM at 9.6...which hedges the bet between 9.4 and 9.8...but last year I used that strategy and kept missing on the 9.8s...thought to myself gotta go for the bullseye and out-thunk myself...

Started out with 6.0 on the SHOWCASE and then figured it's a trick book and the CB crease is a production flaw and bumped my grade to 7.0...always undergrading (mostly) on these contests...

There are two issue on the back cover of the Showcase.   Someone must have seen them.

Unfortunately I am not in that majority, lol.

Is that a tear upper left?  Looks like a printing crease.  And is there a slight finger print smudge?

[KryptoSpidey]

I had a bye thank God I got 42 points with my grades subbed on accident

There are two tape pulls according to the graders notes.  One is easy to find near the center of the back cover (Send NO MONEY) and the second might be on the top left corner of the upper, right most packets of sends.
