Cushing Fan Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Sorry, I got held up with my job until late yesterday and didn't get my grades in on time so I'm out of this contest. That'll teach me to wait until the last minute. grendelbo and KirbyTown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many comics does the CGC office have just sitting in the queue? It has to be a pretty big pile. That would be fun to look through though flashlites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic Four #25 - 3.0 I could go with a 2.5 Supernatural Thrillers #5 - 9.6- a few too many tiny flaws for me to go with a 9.8 but hey No you didn't - and it was much bigger than 1 1/2 inches. Perhaps some people who got bullseyes on this book could explain what we are missing. I went 3.0. I'm staggered that a book with a huge tear and significant rust migration could get a 4.5 It's always good to learn. For the record - the other 4 were 2 bullseyes and one grade out on other 2. 2 bullseyes - 5 points Albert Thurgood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 2 points back from you going into round 3, so with your 7 points, and my 5 points in round 3, it looks like we'll be tied going into round 4. I'm guessing there are some that will be ahead of use, but presumably not by too much, unless they killed it in round 3. I'm just happy I'm doing fairly well again (at least so far); I wasn't sure how much luck was involved finishing 3rd in the last contest (my first ever contest). Thanks to Mike for putting the contest together again! Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts? 2-3" tear and significant rust migration gets a 4.5. Hmmm....gift grade or am I not understanding penalties for rust migration. Genuinely want to know, as I have skipped from buying many books that show even a hint of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely want to know, as I have skipped from buying many books that show even a hint of rust. Being a Flash fan I would have loved to 'give' it a 4.5 but honestly there is no way...I treated the tear like a spine split as the grading guide gives us some guidance there. And then tried to be generous as I knew CGC would be and came up with a 3.5. Just looking at the tear or possible tear (as we don't have the benefit of having the book in hand) it appeared to be to be at least 1 1/2" possibly more. The grading guide says up to a 1" spine split for a 4.0. Taking that into consideration with the other defects I felt that it was a 3.5 but I realize now I should have given it a 'CGC' 4.0. I still would have been 1 grade off ! Beige 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
