Popular Post Axelrod Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 I think it's 5 this round. 3 decent rounds and one blow up. I think that's about typical for me. I would also like to thank Mike for another fun contest. I really appreciate what you do!

Popular Post skypinkblu Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 5 points (if I counted correctly, . lost 3 on the Strange Confessions...I wouldn't buy a book marked 5.0 with a detached staple and those creases, but maybe I should send some in, lol.

Popular Post comicginger1789 Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 Bullseye on the first two. I was too nice on the surfer and not harsh enough on the Batman, costing me 5 of my six points. But yeah six points. I did these grades on my phone (which I swore off doing). Maybe that’s the secret 🤷♂️ Mars76, frozentundraguy, ChrispyC66 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnH19 Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 6 for me. I cost myself another point by changing the FF from 7.0 to 7.5. How the heck is the Startling a 3.0 when it’s so obviously a 2.0? I finished with 23 points. grendelbo, PeterPark, JollyComics and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Point Five Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 Startling #40 I said 2.5. Just seemed like a good amount of real estate missing, plus a pretty badly frayed spine. Strange Confessions #1, I thought the top staple was pulled, not detached. With that error in mind I said 5.0 and that was my only bullseye. FF #50, that's a helluva nice 7.0... I said 7.5 and 8.0 seemed reasonable. Back cover upper left edge had what looked like a bit of schmutz but I assume that's the tear the graders' notes are describing. Batman #210, I actually thought the top staple was pulled through on *this* book and I said 4.5. I see now that was just a trick of light hitting the top staple. Captain Marvel #31, seemed like a coin flip 9.4/9.6 and I was confident the real grade would be whichever one I didn't pick. I wasn't disappointed. jcjames, JollyComics, grendelbo and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2nd round, Subby is similar to Startling #40 but CGC always gives a nice gift on GA books so I thought 2.5 is much safer. 3,0 bummed me out.

Similar guesses 1.8 on the startling (hard to believe that is a 3.0) strange conf 🎯 FF I guessed an 8.0 bats guessed a 4.5 CM 9.6 not bad…I think 7 points?

Got that one right, and the Captain Marvel. I had Book #1 as a 2.0, and dropped it to a 1.8. I don't mind missing the other 2 books by 2 grades, one over and one under, but calling Book #1 a 3.0 is just bewildering to me. jcjames, Point Five, JollyComics and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PINWHEEL Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 A couple bullseyes (finally) but not good enough. How that Startling Comics is a 3.0 is beyond me. I gave it a 1.8 because it was uglier than the Submariner that got a 2.0. Cleary ugly golden age books are my weakness. jcjames, flashlites, TheGeneral and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
