The Air Ace seemed to have more lowball guesses than any other book... I was kinda surprised at all the 1.5-2.0 guesses. GA books in that range are usually trampled with good amounts of color loss, or if the eye appeal is there then there's some other structural problem like lots of spine splitting. This one has pretty vibrant colors and no major splits or pieces missing. IMO it's a nice-looking lower grade book.

 

Shows you what I know about GA low grades...which is not much

If you folks are looking to grade some SA books...I posted 3 today in PGM.
I’ll be posting several more the next couple days. Would love to have your “expert” opinions before I send them to CGC.

thanks for the grading tournament Point Five !!

i didn't take my time with all the books shown at once , i just went with a quick guess, thats why i was lousy , although i was way off on the Batman either way ....

[Point Five]

Hey all, I know this tournament must feel like a million years ago, but... Just a heads-up that 5 of the 11 books are now live in HA's weekly auctions:

Yep, that one sold on the boards a few weeks ago. These books were already in the pipeline to HA by then.
