I really have no idea why I sent in that grade of 7.0 ( I am truly ashamed) Well. Definitely not advancing. Congratulations to those who did! He survived.

When I looked back at I had to keep doing a double take.. No way did actually say 7.0.. no way.. Normally I would have called that a 3.0 with all the spine issues and staining, but for some idiotic reason I sent a 7.0...

I'm pretty sure Matt Murdock graded that book.

stynxno Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 7 points in this round. I think I only overgraded one book this entire contest and had no bullseyes.

Great point. This contest has been heavy on GA in the low-to-midgrades, which is helpful for someone like me who collects those and has some awareness of CGC's standards in that range. (Though oddly enough, my only bullseyes in this contest have been on higher grade SA books.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic9494 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 My personal theory is that all defects being equal, the age of a book will play in its favour (the oldest getting a higher grade than a more recent comic book... ) That's what guided me when I was comparing the Wings Comic vs IH181 (that btw has two tears at the top of back cover) JollyComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
