Oh man I crashed and burned!

 

A 6.5 with tape on it? Has the world gone mad?? No way in hell does any book with tape on it grade in the fine region! Never, no way, absolutely not! That book is a 4.5. I would never claim 5.0 or above for any book - no matter how utterly perfect in every other way - that had a piece of sellotape stuck to it! Wow.

 

Apart from that one (which I got right and CGC made a huge mistake) I did pretty bad! Well done AlexH.

I gave that book a 4.5 too, even though I had a funny feeling that CGC would grade it higher. But then, in this contest, if I submitted a 6.5 grade for a book with tape on it and the "correct" grade turned out to be 4.5, then I would be a total insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

 

I can't remember ever seeing a non-restored book with tape ever receiving anything higher than a 4.5 (but I'm sure they're out there).

 

And if you were to sell that book raw and claim it was a 6.5, you would be crucified.

 

Having said that, it is a beautiful book. (thumbs u

68 points and heading to the stands for the next round. :sorry:

 

At least I went out swinging. lol

 

Sorry about that AJD. I am glad to make it out of the round. Australia is definitely on the bucket list. I will buy you a pint if I ever get there to search for some Phantoms.
