  1. So darn close!!! Congrats to all winners. See you in July! I will beat up on myself for sure!
  2. I took my liberty to contact Larry Wetz. Asked him with my question about the inconsistent of 3D glasses. Here is his rely. So, it leaves us clueless.
  3. Those books are stored in a shed? Good thing, all good books are inside the house.
  4. @apocalypse76 leapfrogged us with 5 bullseyes too. Ghost Rider #6 is a killer grade too.
  5. I originally picked 6.5 for Web of Spider-man but I changed to 7.0. Just missed one point from 6th place. Congrats to @Ride the Tiger. Who got 5 bullseyes in last round?
  6. Both staples are on the back cover. That's a reason for the back cover being wavy to the moisture or an improper storage. Of course, the pressing will make it a superb copy. It looks a promising 9.0 at least.
  7. Very nice overall. Strong appeal even those defects. Probably 7.0/7.5 Maybe 8.0 max with C&P.
  8. Low VFish. The top staple looks rust. The back cover may have some soils, oxidation or foxing. Of course, it needs C&P.
  9. It looks fresh off the shelf. Pressing is recommended so you may get 9.4 or higher.
  10. The pressing is a little help but not much. Maybe half or one point increase. 4.0/4.5 without the pressing 4.5/5.0 with the pressing.
  11. All true. It helps my decision and use my judgement. I need to put two new young trees and take old root out.
  12. Restoration issue and PGM threads are beneficial because their insights upon my books that will help my decision to save the money from submitting my books. All of my books were sold as is and as it described. Yes, some are losses but it's better than sending them to CGC.
  13. I rarely used CCS. It's only one time when they couldn't remove the color touch from my two books - one raw copy and one graded book. They encapsulated my book with the same grade and purple label at no charge for the new reholder and didn't charge me for the restoration removal. Yes, I paid for the returning mail. Yes, it was a disappointed result. I don't use the reject fees and I may never use CCS for the restoration removal again. I have to avoid all restored books at all costs except mega key issues like Tec 27, Superman 1 and AC 1 (those books are too rare to be passed). CCS and reject fees are headache for me.
  14. @ADAMANTIUM If your book is rejected, you have to pay for the returning mail. That's why I never use a reject fee.
  15. No email from CGC Mike Done that in last four contests. BTW, I got 2 bullseyes and 3 points. 1 point off each. I don't know if I make the top spots. One person with 5 bullseyes may get a shot.
  16. Oh shoot. I think that may be second or third time in last ten contests. Rare fest.
