Don't beat yourself up. I've been all over the board.

-1 = 5
3 = 5
5 = 8

Almost hoping to get a pair of 1's in the last round so I can experience the full range of emotions.

Well at least I went in the right direction on both books.  Was debating between 6.5 and 7.0 on book 1 and went 7.0 just because it presented nice but those deep spine ticks had me worried.  Book two was tricky since it was tough telling what was on the slab.  Debated between 9.4 and 9.2 and went 9.2 to be safe.  4 points probably won’t be enough to move up much.

Those books crushed me I thought both books were way higher did I miss something major on the cap book?

After the train wreck of the last round where I tried to second guess the mischievous mind games of Andy and his CGC cohorts, this time I kept it simple and graded what I saw. I went 7.5 & 8.5 which is about on the money. Depending on the period, of course, but I think most of us are slightly stricter than CGC generally.

Unless it's our own book. Then we can't understand why those insufficiently_thoughtful_persons at CGC gave our 9.6 an 8.5. Not referring to myself at all on that comment...

But I do have a couple of raw 9.6's I'll gladly sell. Provided no returns after any future CGC grading.

good gosh .. I forget I can't use the word idi@t on here. But I can say damn. So damn it that I'm not allowed to say idi@t on here.

For instance, through ROUND 9, @shiverbones is actually the best Marvel grader with 34 points out of a possible 40 points. (8 Marvel books) @JJ Speederman comes in second at 32 tied with @Point Five. 

I think the ages broken out would be fun to see

You probably should reword that before @kav sees it  But yea, I agree. You get used to seeing and judging books in a certain manner and it becomes automatic. Like when you send an email with a typo/mistake. Miss it the first time and you never catch it on a second read. Without "guidance" from others 

You just better watch yourself.

No, I agree with you.  I didn't see that much on the cap book.

I saw a lot of grime, front and back.
