I swear, I have this uncanny ability to be *one grade off* almost across the board, no matter whether it's undergrading or overgrading. Every time we do the grading contests with the 5/3/1/-1 scoring, I have more 3s than anyone in the top third or so. Nothing worng with being 1 grade off! Very consistent! thirdgreenham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Flash 139 that's graded at a 2.0 that looks worlds better than that thing! SMH Man, these GA books are KILLING me! That’s what I thought. I had it at 2.0 Was 0.5 generous on Beware Was a grade harsh on Atom and Surfer nailed the hulk (schwing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 When grading this batch I thought that the Beware had a detached cover. It was only after submitting my guesses that I thought Mike would've probably told us as much in the description. I'm glad I still was only off by a grade. Again, this round no bulleyes like in the previous ones and I was a grade off on each book. I'm happy with that. I'm not convinced that if these books were graded on a Wednesday as opposed to a Tuesday or this week as opposed last week my guesses wouldn't have been spot on.

Hugely overgraded that stain. I think I score 5 for this round. The stain goes thru entire book as it is seen on both front and back covers. On 2/14/2022 at 5:34 PM, JohnH19 said: No idea how that copy of Wings got a 3.0 with that spine split. I gave it a 2.0. I gave Beware a 4.0 and the last three were bullseyes for a Round 3 total of 3 points. Unfortunately, I had 15 points in the first two rounds. A 2.0 is a very ragged book. I've seen 2.0s with large chunks of cover missin. For me a 3.0 is a book i would want to own, a 2.0 is too ragged for me. my grades: wings 3.0 beware 4.5 atom 4.0 silver surfer 8.5 hulk 4.5 On 2/14/2022 at 6:36 PM, Comics4All said: WTF on the IH 181?

thirdgreenham Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'll have 15 points (I'm pretty sure) after the end of Round 3. Don't think that's quite enough to crack the Top 10.

Harold Lee Sosa Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 wing s #1 1.8 I agree 3.0 crazy spine split must be that golden age rarity beware #10 4.0. splitting hairs here atom #1 6.0. ok the back cover stain I forgave only because it s not a common book and I wasn't going. by overstreet silver surfer #1 8.5. my only bullseye of the tournament . I was leaning toward s 9.0 since the spine was really nice then I saw the color breaks on the other edge of the front cover. Incredible Hulk 4.5. I was just going by that fact that its a key I was nt sure if that top piece on the cover was torn off or not 😟I guess it was . that wings is way worse Than that #181 tho the pain of golden age Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
