I definitely agree with this . I had a book come back today that was previously a CGC 7.0 that the press and clean brought it up to a 9.2. When I first looked it both in the original case and raw I did not see it getting that big if a bump. (You can see it in my journal/Jock signing) 

Hey just took a look at your post.  I think you were right in your initial thought that it couldn't get that big of a bump.  Unless I'm not seeing things right it seems like on the back there above the ring is like a 2 inch or so color breaking crease still so no clue how it could get the bump to 9.2. Not trying to knock it down just making an observation.  Hope that guy grades all my stuff. Congrats on the grade

here are the rankings now. If you do not see your name, that is because the score is negative.

My thoughts exactly.  It does still have the lines on the back, but they definitely made them a LOT more subtle and the front presents EXTREMELY well, but it definitely was one where I hope that I keep drawing that grader.

I keep seeing stains that are not stains. Maybe they are production related - or my computer screen is dirty. 

Let's see if my greater than 0 score can continue through the next round. lol.

I am pretty happy with this round.  1 bullseye, a near miss and the 583 well I wondered about that lower left corner but then thought maybe it was like UF4 with some of the art making it look like issues and didn't search the cover out elsewhere to see if that was right or not.

Again, nice books @William-James88!

Detective 109

Grade purchased as: 4.0 from Heritage

My thoughts: fully agreed

CGC Grade: 6.0

Pressing candidate: Excellent

Can you rescore my answer using the Heritage grade?

I can tell you are all fans of Mr Terrific because you guys value Fair Play. 

And I know this because the Detective 135 (which was causing a lot of you guys trouble with that ink on the back) would have been very easy to get right if people didn't play fair and looked at the census. The census won't help you for round 3, so I'm not worried, but here is what it looks like for Detective 135 Canadian Edition:

 

Is it still a brag to have the highest copy on census when it's also the only copy on census?

I sure hope so as I have several of these. (Solo highest graded census copies )

You say that, but I count FOUR people, yes FOUR, who suspiciously got it exactly right.  Hmmmmmmmm?

Also, people who were only 1 grade off were clearly just trying to be sneaky and not be TOO obvious by hitting it dead on.  

Clearly the only fair thing is to disqualify all those scores.

Here are the graded books!
