GIVE ME MY 9.8 DAMMIT!!!!!!!! makepoint.gifmakepoint.gifmakepoint.gifmakepoint.gif

No, no 9.8s for you. I am bitter because you appear to be right about Rex Grossman. mad.gif

 

It's not so much that "I'm right" as it is that "Rex sucks." I have nothing but the good of that team as my motivation.

 

And you see what I'm saying now. I was working the local kids' charity Christmas tree lot yesterday so I missed the game, but I've seen that game so many times this year already that I feel like I watched the whole thing right there with you.

I always knew he was in a rough patch, I'm not delusional, I just thought that the bad games were the fluke. Now I am not so sure. crazy.gif

Grading a book from a scan is a crapshoot. Real hard for me anyways to give a grade higher then a NM without physically holding the book. Not saying your book would'nt grade higher, just saying I would not grade it higher on a scan alone.

 

So says the guy who used to put 9.6s and 9.8s into the grading contests on a regular basis. poke2.gifpoke2.gif

 

 

 

P.S. In case no one has said it lately, thanks again for all those grading contests you used to run. Those were some of the best times I've ever had on the boards -- especially the team competition. cloud9.gif

9.4, maybe a 9.6. Tough to tell just from a scan.

 

Nice book!

 

ditto. 893applaud-thumb.gifthumbsup2.gif

 

If you want to grab lunch some time soon, I'll bring the book along and you can check it out. Then you can tell me if you still think 9.4 is a possibility. yay.gif

I thought you were looking for a 9.8? I can do that . . . wink.gif

If my case (set for trial 12/13) settles, yes. Otherwise, it'll have to wait until I'm done.

I don't know if it would quite make 9.8, but it's a beautiful 9.6. hi.gif

 

Yeah, it has similar wear to the Solar: Man of the Atom #1 CGC 9.8 that I have, but I think that one is kind of a soft 9.8, so it's iffy. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif I don't think there's any way it gets a 9.4 though. I've compared it to every CGC 9.4 that I own (roughly 10 of them) and it's better than all of them by far.

Actually, I compared mine to the CGC 9.8 copy that sold on Heritage in February 2005, and I think mine is pretty comparable (and mine doesn't have SCS or a horrendous top-edge miscut, unlike the CGC 9.8 on Heritage!).

 

Of course, mine also doesn't have White pages. More like off-white. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
