-- If you are selling a raw Wings #88 that you call a 4.5 with a back cover edge that looks like it was gnawed by beavers, I'll buy it and we'll have a delightful transaction. If you call it a 6.0 and I receive it and see that back cover edge I will return it.

(OK, I guess that last one is new.)

 

I'd buy that Wings at 4.5 and be delighted!Back cover damage doesn't bug me much.

(after hammering my copy of overstreet with my fist about the price,a trick I learned from tricolor  )

I think I post some variation of this every year we do these contests:

** Don't beat yourself up if you get -1s or 1s each round. **

-- A lot of posters here are super-crazy-knowledgeable about CGC's standards, especially if they are constantly submitting books.

-- With 100+ people (!) in the contest, being in the middle or even at the end of the pack is no indication of your grading skills.

-- Sometimes you are taking your best shot at guessing CGC's standards for an odd combo of defects vs. what you might give it personally.

-- If you are selling a raw Wings #88 that you call a 4.5 with a back cover edge that looks like it was gnawed by beavers, I'll buy it and we'll have a delightful transaction. If you call it a 6.0 and I receive it and see that back cover edge I will return it.

Love this comment.  Thank you, Point Five.

Is it too soon to make a joke about not returning it to Warner Brothers?

I've been going back and forth for an hour now. I'm convinced more wine will do the trick. Bourbon let me down last night. If you come across my psychic online please tell them to stop ignoring my frantic emails!!!

Well after consulting with my astrologer and my omniscient pet turtle, I have finally decided on my grades. Submitted with confidence! For now.....wait! Nooooooooooo!

Grades in. My confidence is low, but lucky for me I'm used to that

I've been consulting with my betta fish "Constable Bob". So far he has been of little to no help.
