How come this set has a higher score than your complete set?

And why are only the 1:50 higher valued? Shouldn't the 1:10 and 1:20's have a slightly higher score than the non-incentives, too?

Obviously I have no clue how this works.

He has Signature Series slabs, which always carry a higher point value than universal slabs (hence why they sell for more).

The 1:10s and 1:20s COULD increase in point value; however, there has to be solid and verifiable info to justify an increase.

With the LaRosa 1:50s, we “know” the print runs because Dinesh told us, and we can also show the sales history to justify the point increases.

NOTE: I will soon have Signature Series copies of a few books in this set to take back the top spot; which I only lost after requesting a point increase ironically enough lol! :lol:

After looking at your CGC Collection as well as your original artwork collection, we all now know that Bill Gates is a Valiant fan and goes by the name Dirtbag Sailor because HOW ELSE COULD ANYONE AFFORD THIS HAUL!!!

It's still weird though. The need to prove an incentive is indeed rarer than a regular cover. I feel the same about the Sketch aka Blank cover. It should score more. On the other hand, it's quite interesting that a sketched blank cover can actually get a 9.8. The Archie homage is pretty cool, by the way. Judging from your collection, I reckon you cannot submit another "unused" Blank cover or any amount of sketched ones? Maybe, in theory, you could add them (for show) but they wouldn't count towards the total score.

Can you not add Eternity to Divinity?
There are other sets like Pre-Unity, for instance, that combine different series as well.

Kudos again for these collections and excellent presentations. :thumb:
(Imperium's presentation still seems WIP?!?)

Art is priceless, and it becomes difficult to score at a certain point. I could replace my 9.8 Blank Cover with a different 9.8 Blank Cover; or I could simply post images of all my blank covers in the comments/notes while only counting the score of the highest grade.

This could happen. Harbinger (2012) contains Harbinger Omegas for example.

I suspect that I will push at some point to combine Imperium with Life and Death of Toyo Harada.

Yup. While it seems easy enough to score high grade copies for this series, trust that it only seems that way. Low print runs, thin cover stock, and random handling make this a HELL of an undertaking lol!
