So frustrating when you have both grades, and then you second guess and say.."well, the books have tended to be a bit under, so go a bit under."

7.5 and 9.0, respectively.

GRRRR.

 

What is it "they" say?  Go with your first instinct? ...or was it "don't go with your first instinct?"  

[Cushing Fan]

Yeah baby!

yes bent corner and there's a good size crunch above it on the bc, no way that's a 9.2

I guess you could say my accuracy is low but my precision is very high.

Never. My personality won't allow it.

No joke, you can call this number: 941 360 3991

Geez I had 8.0 on the Super Comics and 7.5 on the BA.  My 7.5's never get 9.2's when I submit them???

I had them both also and I second guessed and changed to much worse. Oh well!

The book is a CLASSIC 9.2, EXCEPT for the very heavy spine crease on the back cover, right above the bottom staple. That puts it squarely into 8.5/9.0 territory.

But whoever went with 9.2 and didn't see that big crease called it correctly. Really, without that giant spine crease, it's the perfect "9.2" textbook look.

I called and they told me to suck it up.

[speedcake]

I went 7.0 and 8.5

I'm ok with being two grades off on Super Comics because I wasn't sure how the crease/color rub along the front cover spine would be handled.  

But no way in heck is the Batman Adventures a 9.2 lol.  no, sorry. nope.

I had 8.0 and 7.0, so I feel a little better about being so off on the BA.

So I guess the old standby "they hammer moderns" is an urban legend-
