  1. I don't want anyone to bash the Daredevil movie again, or they will be forced to sit through this mess...and this is from someone who has pretty much found every comic book movie, at least "entertaining". I finally found one that made me cringe.
  2. Is there a link to the video? I'd love to see it, but not quite sure how to find it.
  3. I don't see a crease either. I ended at 6.5, because I'm usually under...so if I took my first guess, I would have gotten it correct by accident;)
  4. All yours, John! thanks! #107 Sold to ThothAmon I guess the thread is still open for a few more days. I didn't have time to send the remaining books where I was planning.
  5. A discussion that took place eons ago...between 2 people here. It really had nothing to do with compasses, although I was also a little baffled by the term at the time.
  6. First person to invent a "paper" detector is going to make a fortune!
  7. You know, I didn't even notice that all the books had women...I'm going to have to file and official PROTEST ! (not really)
  8. Absolutely...my aim every time is not to win, but to be in the top 50% . I keep saying, it's guess the CGC grade, not what you would grade it. When I grade something for myself I always go to the lower grade if I'm split between two. Makes less trauma for me in case I want to sell it later on...and I'm not disappointed if it goes for a little less. Here, I'm bumping everything...some I bump a little too much and some I just can't figure out WHY it's so high...like the 9.2 last round that I had as a 7.5. I stretched that one from a 7.0 lol...;) I find if I do well on one or two rounds ...I probably won't on the next few...I just like listening to the chatter...I learned something the other day. I had NO idea they bumped Pedigree books...so I bumped the one this round and I think I was still a little too low.
  9. Only nice thing about this thread is...it was really nice to see you Chris @comix4fun and a few others I have not seen in a while. It's certainly not the first scandal for the company...but a few too many at once, for sure.
  10. OK, instead of going by increments, I'm just going to make these more of a bargain (I hope;) Take 20% off any remaining books, no further discounts, zelle pay or, checks or MO's only, shipping is not included. Thread will close tomorrow night (Sat) at midnight. Thank you!
  11. I still find the glare confusing. I had 3 bullseyes, and was off by one on the first book, but the Iron Man...I KNEW the white was glare, but I was seeing issues with the lower staple because of the white and since spine lines were mentioned and I couldn't see them, I lowered the grade a lot for both those issues. There are less glare lines lately, so there is an improvement, but I'm lost when I see the white lines, I mess up every time. Many other people seem to be OK with it...I guess. I'm not unhappy with the 5 points...I'm thrilled to be in the top half with so many great graders playing, but I wish they would do less very dark books, or fix the glare issue.
  12. Well, I did horribly on the Iron Man, but seemed to have gotten 3 completely right and only .5 off on the first one...not my worst round.
  13. Last but not least.. AND just in time to watch the grading contest;) is! Wonder Woman #107 CGC 6.5 , c/ow 1959 Sold to ThothAmon @20% 0ff The first full appearance of Wonder Girl and the Origin of her costume. A CGC 6.5 just sold for $460, Bin is $450.00
