AJD Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Well, I'm surprised by the Venus. A reading crease and whatever is going on near that top staple. Evidently it can't be too bad. What did you think it would grade at Andy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 +1/-1 again for me this round ugh another 0 on my homework, I'm gonna get detention!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElrodAllWrong Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Man! I thought for sure they would ding that Venus harder on the coloring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aszumilo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I am getting less and less confident in CGC's grading after every round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelangelo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) That's some GA bump on the Venus i saw a tear bottom right FC and bottom left BC ... Plus everything else going on, I'm very surprised by a 7.0 Edited August 20, 2017 by Michelangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElrodAllWrong Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 On the Venus, it looked like someone had colored over a few spots, specifically the date. Am I wrong on what that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelangelo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My new strategy for GA books: Take whatever I think it is and add 0.5-1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My wife saw the long crease on the 1st book after I'd already given it a 7.0. So with a -1 and a 1 I would have done the same if I wouldn't have played this week. Great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Whew, I got destroyed on this round. I started out around 7.0 for both books, but I kept dropping the Venus the more I looked at it. Couldn't decide if that was a hole in the cover or a surface flake near the top staple. I wonder if the issue happened in encapsulation, i.e. the book was graded a bit higher before that piece was askew. (Andy?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I went 7.5 on both books. At this point 2 pts is great round. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very tough round. Can't wait to see the averages. And I made it all this way without a -1... until now. Painful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFranklin Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Fixed...... Venus - 5.5 Human Torch - 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I had 7.0 on the Human Torch as well. Could see 6.5, but 5.5 is a real surprise. I can see the barest hint of a crease through the logo, but it doesn't break color and doesn't seem to travel too far. Is there another significant flaw I'm missing?

comicquant Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Man, bullseyed the human torch (5.5) but had 6.5 on the Venus. That was one of the tougher rounds in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
