Point Five's 2nd Annual Grading Contest: ROUND 3 BOOKS! 5 5

[grendelbo]

[Point Five]

Book 6: Authentic Police Cases #7

If you ask me, this one was robbed. IMO a walk-in-the-park 5.5 with a good chance at 6.0... but CGC deemed otherwise. No graders' notes other than 'moderate creasing to cover.' (This reveal pic is horrible but the book looks so nice in hand.)

Dang I bombed

[Point Five]

And FWIW there were a *lot* of guesses in the 6.0-7.0 range, so you're in good company if you thought higher.

Book 7: Detective Comics #359 (copy A)

No issue with this grade. Seemed about right.

First two rounds I was overly conservative so bumped up on both these this round. Shoulda stayed conservative!

I'll post the full grade distribution in the results thread. But here's a sneak preview: on the Authentic Police Cases #7, 6 people nailed it, 3 had lower grades and *28* had higher grades.
