I feel like it’s in that 5.0 to 5.5 range too (with a clean and press).

Also I forgot the first page has a stamp I figured since it was a mid grade it probably wouldn’t hurt the grade. What do you all think?

past performance is no guarantee of future actions. KatKomics private msg quote post Address this user
actually been looking intently at 2 5.0 comics so about 4 or so issues lately - I know there are many different flaws that can get you to 5.0 but that looks better than the 4 or so books I've been eyeing

Gonna say 5.5
Certainly not 6.5!

with how leniant grades are atm I will state that I think the Conan can get a 5.5 grade.

I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery. DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user
Lenient? Compared to whom? The cgc? They're giving out 9.9s like breath mints at a blow job convention.

I think the grading is pretty much spot on. Sure there will always be outliers that could have been graded higher or lower, but to say that CBCS is being lenient... I don't find that to be the case.

I sent a batch of comics at Baltimore CC 2022 and those were extremely harshly graded books and this year I once again submitted at Baltimore and got more lenient grades. I am not a blinded fan of either company so I tell it like I see it.

This grading "game" is definitely inconsistent spanning over the years.
Now that I'm selling off most of my collection, I really don't care. It's someone else's problem now.
