It must have been a scratch on the acrylic case. That's what I finally decided, but I went back and forth the whole two days. The only reason I concluded that is because it had a bit of a curve to it. I figured a crease would have been a perfect straight line. It was kind of funny not being able to choose between grades of 7.0 and 9.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I gave the Black Panther a 7.0 because of what I thought was a large color breaking crease on the right side. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Round 9 should feature 2 books and a bonus book you can grade if you decide to or ignore it-if you get a bull on the bonus book, it will replace any of the other 2 books, but if you get 3 bulls, you get to keep em all!! HOWEVER if you get -1 on bonus book, your total score is ZERO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I'm having a lot of fun with this, but I can't help but think I'd be near the top if I wasn't consistently wrong on distinguishing between creases and case scratches. It's happened 3 times now. Edited August 16, 2017 by Westy Steve kav and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My naked eye would have given me reason to grade this book a 9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 But under the glass....... it was revealed and I had to knock it down to a 9.2 Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Another tough round. Thought 9.6 at first glance on the BP then zoomed in and went 9.4. Torchy looked 8.5/9.0 first glance and then saw the huge upper right crease. I had a ASM 121 with a smaller crease get bumped to a 7.5 so I went 7.0 but there was a ton of internal debate between a 7.0 or a golden age bump to 7.5. I moved up a couple spots so I'm happy.
