I'm kind of stuck so far. Have an idea or two.

Grades are still all over the place. Though the Tec 109 has the most consistent answers. It does have the least subtle flaws and the easier distinction between what's pressable and what isn't.

On the detective 135 on the back, is that blue streak ink from the printing process or distributer spray that dripped, or something else?

Not sure, but either the printing process or distributor spray. Not something else

Sorry also forgot to ask, on the The in "The True Story of Frankenstein" is that pencil scribble?

It is not. That flaw is part of the printing process.

I definitely am going to burn for some of the things I find myself laughing at... 

Will be in "good" company.

signup was already over but you can post your guesses for fun in this thread

First round, my grades channeled Lil Jon and they "got, low".....way too low.

This round, I channeled Creed ("can you take me hiiiiiggggheer") with my grades.

I feel unfortunate that these were the musical references that came to mind but it is what it is.

No rush, but just wanted to make you aware that the 2nd round is up

See you could have gone in a completely different direction with the Lil Jon reference.  Cause I did.

I was going to use a Chappelle version but didn't quickly come across one with all three in 1.

Turns out you are not the only one going that trend per round. Maybe we'll find a happy middle in the third round.

This was all around the time when I got to meet Chappelle randomly on the street in Norfolk, he was out jogging and his bodyguard was not amused.  Good times!

Detective Comics 583. Color brake and chipping bottom left corner few ticks on spine….  top left corner little chip …. the line on front and back cover is from printing kinda like color rub I give this Cgc 7.5 

This is the book giving most people difficulty this round. Only 1 person got it right so far.

There was lots of movement in this round, while not everyone has written in yet, here is what the ranking is at right now for the top 14 spots
