Oh my. How did the TOS get a 4.0. Even wo the detached staple it would struggle to get a 4.0. Then again what do I know about grading except that I suck at it. 

yea...I had it 4.0 and said..no way...changed to a 3.5 doh!

Sheesh, three bullseyes and I still managed to get up to 5. It seems like one book is torching me every round. This time it was My Great Love which I had as a 3.5. 

I did as well and feel that and the TOS were over graded

That TOS is like you took a 4.0 and backed a truck over it.

 

That is by FAR one of the worst grades I have seen. Books a 3.0 and 3.5 at absolute best, 4.0 is just wrong.

I was at 1.5 in on the GA.

Yeah, I dithered between 1.0 and 1.5 for a long time on the Weird. I've seen slabbed 1.5s that looked like this, and slabbed 1.0s with split covers that honestly looked great. I don't know that there's a whole lot of consistency from CGC at this grade level.

Hit the 5 with 2 bullseyes, decent round. 

That TOS is not a 4 (I had it at 3).  I overgraded the Fox by a full point, thought it'd go higher in spite of the rusted staples and "barbie" across the forehead.  Fair enough on that one, though.  The TOS, though, NOPE.

I had the TOS as a 3.0 but still salvaged a 3 point round with 3 bullseyes. Mike gave me 3 emojis so I thought I may have even scored better but I’ll take it.
