no bulls,but a surprisingly low amount of butthurt.I just couldn't see that Gay getting more than a 3.5 with the 'defacing!'.

Oh well.

It was a really great-looking book EXCEPT for the coloring. Really nice and good PQ.

I'm sorry, this is not fair. I saw this listing and yet I thought that this comic was worth less. Please, in the future, make sure that the comics to be graded are not easily accessible on the census.https://www.cgccomics.com/census/grades_standard.asp?title=Jo-Jo+Comics&publisher=Fox+Features+Synd.&issue=7&year=1947&issuedate=7%2F47

It's a miracle- 1st double for me! Had the gay comic at 5.0 before red marking. 

I put it at around 5ish but the coloring dropped it.

Well, Ron, the fault really falls on me.  I like to use books in my contests that are either cool, rarely seen, have special defects that will be interesting to see how CGC handles it, and so on and so forth.  From doing this, I'd say that perhaps 6-8 of my 20 books used will have fairly low census numbers.  I will pay closer attention and try to use books that are harder to just look up.

As far as the census checking goes, I cannot control this.  I know that some here (perhaps many) will check the census to see how many graded copies there are out there.  This becomes less of a grading contest and more of a research project.  But, it is one of many tools that people use to ascertain what they think these books grade out as.  I must admit, I have used it too, but only after I've actually graded the book.  

It would be a shame to not be able to use the books that I want to use, but I do see that my choices need a little fine tuning.

Sorry everyone. :foryou:

Nothing to be sorry about 2c I like the old books to me they're easier. I thought we were on the honor system in this contest. (shrug)
