Agreed.  Between that and the misgrading of the Marvel chipping in the first round, CGC errors have cost me 5 points so far.  If CGC was more in line with the rest of the world, I'd have a combined score of 14.

Did anyone else see the small hole in the top left corner of the X-men? No just me? :facepalm:

Round 1 - 7

Round 2 - 14 DOH!

Personally, I didn't see a hole or depression.  I saw a printing defect.  At least, that's how it looked to me.

I saw it, and assume that "Very small tear left top of front cover" is referencing that.

Maybe think of this contest as "What would CGC grade this?" 
Thats what we're all doing.
With your supreme intellect it should be straight bullseyes from here on.

dang I thought your supreme intellect could analyze anything, including how CGC grades.  Lord Rahl for one seems to be able to do it time and again in these contests-

Do great minds know what the cases are made of tho? inner well is made of made of PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol). The outer well is made of a tough, impact and stain resistant plastic called SAN (Styrene-Acrylonitrile).
