I was looking at this strip that seemed to run along other parts of the spine, and I assumed it was related, and was mostly part of the way the cover was folded.

This was why I gave it a 7.0.  sigh

 I had a hard time telling where it stopped and started (vertically). I assumed the worst and assumed it was torn most of (if not all) the way.

Damn. You guys are perfectionists. It's no wonder you have to scroll down three screens to see my score.

Grades in

 

I’m 100% sure I got the grades right.  Hopefully CGC didn’t drop the ball.

They definately dropped the ball

Remember when I said I believe they grade magazines differently from comics, due to their size.  More real estate means more allowance for flaws, proportionately.  That's been my thinking, anyway.

This is quite a large comic, so I believe they've used this way of thinking and grading as well.

I'm seeing this as a learning experience. I graded the Batman a 9.4, not because I thought it was a 9.4, I probably would have said 8.5, but because I was so far off the last time with a modern 9.0 instead of 9.6, lol. This was actually good, because had I given it my real grade, I would have lost more points;) 

As for the Super, not only did I see spine splits, I THOUGHT I saw rusty staples, so I said 6.5, when in fact with those splits, I probably would have said 5.5.

Moral of the story is, guess higher I suppose;). 

Grading raw books is hard enough, lol...the leaders here are genius;)

I suggest a new strategy Artoo-grade the books then add one full grade point.

They are all CGC spies with insider knowledge. I propose we disqualify all participants above (...checking to see what place I'm currently in...)
