I concur on the Hit Comics. I gave it a 3.5 because of that chewed bottom corner. Rats! Cushing Fan and ashsaytr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpknface Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well, looks like a 10 for me. I was way under on the Showcase but that book looked rife with defects, I never would have guessed a 4.5. Congrats to anyone that got a 5 or under on this set! Did anyone see what looks like a smudge on the ASM above the Spidey face / UPC area? I know it wasn't mentioned in the defects that Mike was kind enough to mention but it looked like something. I had it as an 8.5, so not too far off. Off to the next round! Happy guessing!

I saw that too, I guessed 7.5 on that one because of it. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlites Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Here's how I graded them. I think its safe to say we all were hit pretty hard by Hit Comics . 5.5 is a very generous grade for that one IMHO. Maybe I could get to a 5.0 with a GA bump?? It was just a little too soiled and rough to be called a Fine minus?

Old Fashion PB and J Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Damn, the Hit and Doctor Strange were my worst. Bullseyes on ASM and New Gods, .5 off on Showcase. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganmi Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Dang 3 bullseyes but off by 3 pts on that Dr. Strange. I think I must have missed the readers crease or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kramerica Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) The Showcase and the Hit Comics ruined me. Everything about that Showcase sucks. I'll just put down my coffee right on the front and molest the book and I'll still get a middle of the road 4.5. Ugh. My OCD prevents me from owning a Coaster Mug Book much less submitting it. What's next? 8.0's with subscription creases? I'm freakin' cursed in this contest.

I've said it in previous contests and I'll say it again: I feel bad for any CGC graders watching this contest thread (especially the three who graded that Showcase) and realizing how badly they whiffed on some of these grades!

comicginger1789 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 8 points for me Was a whole grade lower on all but the Strane and the ASM where I was only a half grade off.

I kept thinking there might be a detached cover at the top staple or worse a 50% spine split so I bumped it down to 4.5. That Hit and The Showcase annihilated me....totally crapped the bed. jcjames and zzutak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
