2022 CGC Grading Contest Season 1 Fall Edition (#4) Round 2 9 9

[ADAMANTIUM]

I'm already 18

 

[sledgehammer]

I considered 7.5 on the Captain Marvel, but went with 8.0 anyway.

I called the NM 98 an 8.5 as well.

I missed by the most on captain marvel,  I though it was vf sure, but vfbm maybe, gave it 9.0.

I missed the possible bends

Same, that was a killer for me.

[Doctor Dositheus]

Lois Lane wrecked me. Liquid Damage? Tide Lines? Not worth mentioning in the grader notes. All the others I was just one point off.

1 bullseye, under-graded both the BB and the NM by one grade so not bad. Swing and a miss on the Captain Marvel, didn't see all the other defects other than the stain , will have to give that one another look. I think 7 points for me this round 

I agree on the Captain Marvel.

You must need a 50 inch screen to see these:

Light, multiple crease left top of back cover

Light crease left center of back cover

I went back and I still don't see them.

 

[zzutak]

One bulls-eye and an average of two grade increments too low on the other four.    Apparently, I've gotten grumpy in my old age.  I expect to see a 100% sell-through on my next board-only sale.

If I click on it 4 times with a pause between each click, the image is twice the size of my screen.

Much better round for me. Went from 12 points down to 7, and also had the NM98 at 8.5 due to the corner crease. Still no bullseyes though.

Yeah similar. 10 down to 7 this time, no bulls yet.

Mike,

thanks for the feedback. On my laptop the largest image I can get is with 3 clicks. the 4th one brings it back to regular size. The 3 click size doesn't show the flaws. I'll search around and see if I need to hold down another key or do something else to get a larger image.

 

[Dark Knight]

2 bullseyes, 3 grades off by 0.5 = 3 points this round

Mike,

I found a way to look at a large image. I saved the image as jpeg and opened with photo app.

[Qalyar]

2 bullseye, 4 pts total this round...

[Axelrod]

One Bullseye on the Exciting Comics.  Missed by one grade on all the others.

Take it.

Seriously. That's a 9.2 New Mutants #98 only a mother could love.

Me too on the NM (I ended up guessing 8.0 - in my PM to Mike I made my first comment - "Tough call on the NM98, want to say 8.5, but can't get past that dog ear. ")

And me too on the CM, my gut said 7.5 and ended up at 8.5 because those spots on back might've been foxing and not staining.  The rest were 'normal' defects.

[flashlites]
