I thought this was an easy one.

I almost went 9.8 because of the Nik bump but played it safe.

 

 

Me to on the 9.8. That corner just wouldn't let me do it though.

[awe4one]

Is there no rust/discoloration on the staples? And what about the tanning on the top back cover?

[Comicdey]

I'd be ticked if I bought that one as a 9.6, but Nik, you've got the magic.

 

 

 

My grade was way off....

 

 

"I hate these types with tanned / shaded edges...

 

I never get it right how far CGC downgrades them.

 

I'm going to say.......9.0 and it's probably higher...structurally looks nicer..... " Way off.

I think I have lost complete faith in CGCs grading due to this contest though

i've begun to buy some FF cgc 9.4, i think that 9.4 for silver is a grading, but when i'm looking at that 9.6 ,

for the number of points I scored

[Fan4Fan]

Wow... something really is amiss here.

 

I actually scored some points grading a Fantastic Four comic. That has never happened in all of the grading contests I've entered.

[kc120us]

OMG, that's two in a row.

[Owls Head]

went with a 9.4

 

was thinking... 9.6

 

but not sure why - really??

 

cause i didn't think it was a 9.4 either...?

 

what is all that rusty sorta looking stuff - or are there dirt tracks on the back and front edges going around the book?

 

is it foxing? or something?

 

or doesn't it really show up live and in person...?

 

 

Next round....

[Mr. Zipper]

Once again I fail to bump enough. Figured it was a 9.2 IMO, added .2 and guessed 9.4.

 

Lately, it seems as if I just can't bump enough to hit the CGC Grade.
