2024 Grading Contest Summer Edition Season 3 (#11) Round 1 18 18

[comicginger1789]

Two bullseyes on the headline and tec issues

I knew that Weird Mysteries was a 3.5, was the first thing I said but I talked myself into giving it a 4.0 bump

The foxing or whatever on the Superman book I hit harder at a 7.5

And I completely ignored the notes given and gave the FF 9.4. 

Not terrible but the potential existed for a truly great score. I’ll settle for 5 points

I think you can get as high as a 7.0 with a detached centerfold.

“The foxing or whatever on the Superman book I hit harder at a 7.5”

I had it the same way….fugly 8.5 
 

[Hudson]

If that Action is an 8.5, then I would like whoever graded it to regrade my 8.5 copy. 

 

Maybe I can get into the 9s.

Dang. 2 bulls and 8 pts.

I thought I was being generous at 7.5 for the supes book..  I also wanted to go to 9 on the FF but that colour breaking whatever it is at the top left front cover had me down to an 8.5. Which is still higher than som4 slabs I have with the same grade but lesser defects

[Panda2]

That headline…geez…multiple tears - up to an inch on the right side, scuffs and colour loss front cover. Back cover staining, tears, colour loss. And a detached leaf. How does that make a 5?????

&$%#(&^*!!!

Disillusionment seeps in, first at a crawling, slithering pace. Then it speeds up, much like a river beginning to receive its first annual rainwater from the nearby storm, uncovering rocks, tree stumps and boulders in an endeavor to deliver us the location of where the last years bodies are hidden as well as that of the Necronomicon, eager to reach out and steer someone's tenuous hold with reality closer to the eldritch truth. Finally, it becomes a raging torrent, shouting at the sky, the walls, my lunch and my unfolded laundry. Eventually, the body and mind, in this together, come back down to Earth after I consume several horse tranquilizers. I lie down in bed with my blankie, my stuffed Cthulhu and my comics, ready to bide my time leisurely before I am called upon to offer my best educated guesses as to what the latest round of books might rate in the hands of a raving madman CGC Expert Grader. I have become comfortably numb.

2 bulls - but overgraded Headline and Tec -  I am usually under, so perhaps overcompensated.  - 8 points. Will have to review what I missed.

[timfinz]

Guess I'm in the mix!!

Headline #6 = 4.5                          5.0       1   
Weird Mysteries #11 = 3.5            3.5        0   
Detective #268 = 5.0                    4.0        2   
Action #243 = 8.0                         8.5        1   
Fantastic Four #86 = 8.5              9.0        1

1 Bullseye and 5 Points

[Supa-Bad-Mofo]

The worst I've ever done in the contest...ever. I already have enough points to finish in the bottom 10%. 

[AJD]

Bizarro AJD am really happy about this round.
