Guess the CGC grades: part 1

[namisgr]

So another batch of 19 books returned from summering in Sarasota and, as always, the batch was filled with surprises. Without further ado, here is a chance to test your "CGC grading" acumen. More books will follow over the next few days, but here are the first two, both from my Bronze collection purchased from southern New Jersey 7-11s back in the day:

I can hardly see any defects on either book.

[namisgr]

Kudos to Sal for being first with the correct CGC grades.

 

Surprised by the guesses on the Hulk, since in hand its only flaws are a single spine stress and tiny rounding of the URFC. The back cover is essentially unimprovable:

 

 

[KingOfRulers]

I actually, personally agree with the 9.0. I just said 8.5 because I notice CGC is usually .5 lower than I am on books.

[Aces]

I would have guessed 9.2 and 9.6

[Nostalgic Attic]

I was low by 1/2 grade on each. It was hard to tell from the scan the severity of the spine stress. The lower right corner also looked weak, but it was kind of fuzzy on my screen...thus my 8.5 guess.
