I should just take my grading assumptions and downgrade everything 2 points.

Yep. Grades.

Next 4 grades are in. Flashback to a prior journal... with lots of cut and paste.

So I got my CGC renewal coupon and decided to put in 4 books right away. Grades are in:

Avengers #5: Thought upwards of a 7, came in at a 4.5. Good thing it was bought on the cheap. This is a flipper, not a keeper.

Daredevil 53: ... got it for $25 and looks like it could hit as high as a 9.2 if I'm lucky, but thinking an 8.5 One of those covers I just loved too much to resist. Came back as an 8.0

X-Men 100-101: Picked these up last year at Pittsburgh from a different guy than sold me my X-Men 3 SA (see my old journals for that one) Both are really nice with a corner flaw, probably looking at a 9-9.2, and very affordable prices when I picked them up. I think $100-120 for both together, considering the ebay/comiclink prices for a 9.8 copy. I'll take a lesser book without costing me a mortgage payment.

100 was an 8.5, that's okay. #101 was a 6.5 which is a big let down, especially since it's white pages. Will have to review the graders notes and see what I missed.

I try to learn from these experiences best as a I can, including comparing to the Overstreet grader's guide. The Avengers #5 had a full notation on the back from the prior owner explaining the "flaws" so I'll have to compare how they ranked against the CGC downgrades.

"Thanks for reading"
