So just two grade increments below what a pristine book except for a cleanly detached cover would be? I think not. I totally agree. Sometimes things don't make sense in this hobby. I find it hard to believe that putting a small dot of marker to cover up a color speck is more damaging to the value of a book than putting masking tape on the entire spine with the addition of non factory staples.

Cman429 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Man, I was cruising along with a 🎯 or half grade off on every book - which given the subjective nature is basically a win to me - then came the Avengers. Missed that by two full grades. My monitor calibration must be way way off bc I didn’t see the “front center tear” at all. paqart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Mike (Lizards2) is right. It's impossible to grade the book when you don't have it on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the Tiger Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 So is the tear on the avengers on Iron Man's leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganmi Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Didn't do too bad on the last round. Considering it was the most rushed I still came up with my usual 4 points. Chilling Tales #13 --- 4.5 Diary Secrets #30 --- 4.5 Horrific #3 --- 2.5 Doctor Solar #1--- 4.5 Avengers #7 --- 7.0 Gave 3 4.5's as they all looked about the same grade to me. Was worries I went to lenient on Horrific 3 but remembered that i noticed for some reason CGC does not count tape and added staples as amateur restoration and that restoration if done professionally doesn't seem to effect the grade, just the label. So i graded it as a completely detached cover with other smaller defects. Almost missed the tear in avengers 7 and was going to give it at least an 8 but noticed it at the last second. Also thanks Again to Mike and CGC and all the stats guys for putting on this fun contest and keeping us on our toes.

zzutak Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 My contest score would've improved substantially if I could've set aside my own long-time standards and classified these defects as "small." But I could not. Nasty 1" tear. Nasty tape stain. Color-based evidence/suggestion of missing paper along spine.

JollyComics Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I did not do well on the last round like last contest. According to the grader note for Avenger #7 Please confirm me if this is a tear on Iron Man's leg and boot and crease to the cover (I think two of them).
