  1. I'd reckon that collectors who simply buy the number on the slab are accessories to the chicanery!
  2. Will CGC start "grading" their CGC-witnessed signatures now too? If so, why start now? If not, then why bother grading "authenticated" signatures in their SS-JSA books? So confusing.
  3. Wait, so are they really grading the quality/placement of the signature in UNverfied signatures only... so wouldn't that make a "5.0" or "6.0" signature more of a "nudge-nudge,wink-wink" as to whether it's actually authentic compared to a "8.0" or "9.0" signature??? Meanwhile verified signatures completely obliterating the only face on the cover would still have no such quality/placement grade for the signature??? This sounds so very confusing! ETA: Why would the quality/placement of the signature of an UNverified signature need to be graded anyway??? It's either authentic or not - and it's obvious if it looks bad, sloppy, smeared or terribly-placed. Much more obvious than whether it's authentic. So again, WHY grade the "quality/placement" of only UNverified signatures now??
  4. Really like this contest - good variety of books beyond GA and grades were tough. Those who consistently score at the tops for these contests genuinely know what they're looking at with great experience and expertise. Hats off to the winners and thanks for yet another fun and frustrating contest! Looking forward to the Summer Edition <thankyousirmayihaveanother>

  6. I am just surprised and disappointed that there wasn't a Star Wars book in this round for a May The 4th reveal.
  7. I did this exact thing last contest. That's actually why I didn't win. Yep. That was why.
  8. I didn't realize there was a published CGC grading guide! Not that I'd use it over OSGG which I prefer. But for contests like this, the CGC guide could come in handy - though again, not so much for the SW8 book.
  9. It WAS easily visible. The full top stable is rusted all around.
