IncredibleHauck Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I thought the 8.0 Baloo was nicer than the grade being awarded. What am I missing to bring this book down to a 8.0? I noticed the corner chip and also some slight spine wear. Anything else ? Edited August 8, 2017 by IncredibleHauck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyFein Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 OK, had 7.5 because I didn't think there would be two 6.5's in a row. I knew that dust shadow brought it down. My mind is playing tricks on me!! .5 on the Baloo. I do love that movie! Tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Except for LordRahl... LordRahl skipped the FIRST TWO rounds... and then rocked DOUBLE BULLSEYES. He must be very confident. More later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I went 7.5 and 9.2. So what is that a 0? Maybe the bottom edge is really rough on the Jungle Book which brought it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjames Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Welp that's what happens why I try to apply what I learned from the last round's "9.4" AT25 (yeahright). Didn't see any significant difference between Baloo (8.0) and AT25 (9.4) from last round, in fact Baloo looked way better with almost no spine issues. Can someone who graded AT25 as being 9.4 and Baloo being 8.0 please let me know what you saw in AT25 that Baloo was lacking and vice-versa? Honest question. I looked at that AT25 with all those spine-ticks and that corner crease and said, well hellzbellz that Baloo looks pretty darn good compared to that! Ugh. So... back to grading and not prognosticating what CGC would do. Edited August 8, 2017 by jcjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw those corner chips, damage which seemed to run thru all the pages, a fingerprint and some small spine ticks-it just felt more like an 8.5 which was my guess. The AT just had a few spine tics, the lwr corner buffing was minuscule. Edited August 8, 2017 by kav Point Five and Sandflea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... back to grading and not prognosticating what CGC would do. The Baloo book had some light scuffs on the back cover, and a small tear at the bottom. You're right though, the spine is really sharp. I called it 8.5 as the book looked pretty crisp overall. (Also wasn't sure if the tear was 'production' or not.)

Thanks, I saw the corner problem on Baloo and compared it to the AT which also had a small lfc crease and even more prominent spine-ticks IMO. I didn't really see any cb-spine ticks on Baloo. Whereabouts was the fingerprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
