anyone can point out the flaws in the showcase brings it to 3.5 I'm all ears.

I thought that book looked like a 5.0 until I saw all the staining on the back cover and I knocked it down to 3.5

That and the giant waterstain encompassing the entire "DAM"  of "ADAM" in the title on the front cover.

d'oh! 9 points not 8. I had the Crime SuspenStories at 1.5 (I was convinced and still am) and forgot that is 3 points away from 2.5, not 2!

5, 7, 9...not a good score progression

you got me beat, I'm 13, 7&7, which maybe a 7&7 would help me next round?

I'm pretty certain Stevie Wonder graded the Howard The Duck #1. 

[grendelbo]

12 points this round which is 3 more than I had the first two rounds combined.

I agree with you a lot but never more than today.

[1Cool]

Wow - I had the Duck at a 9.0 but could see 9.2.  9.6 was not even in my mind.

I had the duck graded at 9.2 - I thought the misaligned cover would have prevented anything higher.

[Flammenwerfer]

The Duck was 9.6 Wutt..I thought I saw ink stains on his sword 

Spidey Annual looks like it was c&p..

Oh well - got 3 points on Howard and 1 point on three others (1 bullseye) so I’m happy with a 6

Hmm. Not bad, I think I got a 4 total. 2 Bullseyes, 2 within a half-grade (3.0 v 2.5, 9.4 v 9.6) but I guessed 3.0 on the Spotlight #5.

That is exactly what I scored.

Put the Howard at 9.0.  Bullseyed the Marvel Spotlight, and 1 grade off on the other 3.

Spotlight 5 was my only bull's-eye.

I'll have to give myself a consistency pat on the back, as you wheel me out, cause I've had one bullseye every single round! 

[Point Five]

Phew, my best round by a mile. My guesses were:

Crime Suspenstories #22 3.0
Howard the Duck #1 9.6
Marvel Spotlight #5 4.5
Showcase #19 3.5
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 5.0

 

[oakman29]

6 points on that round.

Extensive staining, spots, long corner creases.

I had the same grades as you except I pegged the Duck at 9.2

I saw all the water stains and still didnt think it was anywhere near a 3.5 but I was wrong.  CGC does not need to 'learn from me'.  I was wrong.
