Point of order - shouldn't detached covers be acknowledged, since they're not plainly visible whether it's actually detached by looking at the scan? Clearly the detached cover didn't factor into the score at all. (Just because a detached cover is allowed in a 3.0, doesn't mean the book grades a 3.0) ChrispyC66, Msgarmar and toro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushing Fan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 My grades Batman #2 - 3.5 Mystery in Space #53 - 6.0 Amazing Spider-Man #9 - 3.0 Blackthorne 3-D #75 - 9.0 Transformers #1 - 8.5 - Happy with 5 pts but kicking myself over the Batman - originally decided it was a 3.0 and then bumped it up to 3.5 for being a key golden age book.
