  1. Grades are due by Friday April 28th 8:00 PM Eastern time Good luck! The reveal of the actual CGC grades will be posted shortly after the round is closed, with scans of the books in their CGC holders. The scoring results thread most likely won't be available until the following day. The next round will most likely be posted within 1 hour after the previous round has ended. Click on the image to supersize it. Because the contest involves only scans, books were chosen with defects present only on the covers; there are no significant defects to the interior pages or interior cover, such as tape, missing parts or brittle pages. No restoration is present either. All defects relevant to the grade should be visible in the scans. If there is a defect that is not visible, we will try to provide a graders note. Please copy this list of books and paste it into our PM, then post your grades on the same line. Jungle Comics #11 Super Comics #44 JIM #84 Silver Surfer #16 Cerebus #2
  2. Here are the rules. Please read them carefully. There will be 4 rounds with 5 books per round. After the deadline for the signup thread has ended, I will start a new thread in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section, scans of the first 5 books will be posted, and I will start a PM thread between myself and each participant. Be sure to use THIS PM thread to submit your grades every round. I will post a list for the books in the thread where the books are posted for each round. Please copy and paste that list into our PM, and add the grades for each book. Only CGC grades (numerical) will be accepted. Non CGC grades like fine+ or Very fine- will not be accepted. Be sure to follow the threads that the books are posted in. This is the only way you will know when the next round starts. There will be no update when the next round begins sent to our PM thread. All of the threads with the books and the results will be posted in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section. You will have 4 days to get your grades in. After I record your grades, I will reply to the PM thread so you know that your grades have been recorded. Only grades from .5 to 9.8 will be accepted. Grades of 9.9 and 10.0 that are received, will be recorded as a 9.8 Please do not bump the PM for any reason other than submitting your grades. Nobody will be allowed to change their grades. Do not discuss your grades with others in the thread until the round is closed. Also, please do not ask any questions about the books publicly or privately (by sending me a PM) . If I am provided any special notes from CGC, I will share them in the thread. If anyone fails to submit their grades for a round, or do not submit grades for all of the books in a round, their participation in the contest will be terminated. You will be able to participate in the next contest. After the 4 days are up and the round is closed, I will post scans of the books in CGC holders to reveal their grades, and include the graders notes for the books. A new thread will be started to show the results of each participant. The results thread will most likely be started the next day. There will be a new thread started for the next round. This thread will most likely be started within an hour after the prior round has ended. 0 points is the best score one can achieve. 1 point will be added to your score for each grade that is higher or lower than the actual grade. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 4.0, your score for that book is 2. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 6.0, your score for that book is 2. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 5.0, your score for that book is 0. CGC will be awarding Grading Credit. $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place.

  5. The signup will end Monday the 17th 8:00 PM Eastern time. The contest will start Thursday the 20th 8:00 PM Eastern time. I will most likely send out PM's to everyone starting on Wednesday the 19th. In the PM, there will be a link to round 1 which will not be visible to you until the contest starts. I am currently working on the scans, and they look really good.
  6. Web help has told me this: "We're trying to figure out why this might be happening specifically on the weekends."
  7. It might be possible to submit this as a ME with the reason being wrong label information. Let me check into this with the team.
  8. I am shocked at the amount of bickering taking place here. Generally, I do not come to this forum unless I am summoned. Last night, I had to lock a thread. After reading just the last 60 posts here, I am locking this one as well. I would like to remind everyone that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. It's hard to believe this type of postings could occur discussing movies. This isn't happening in 1 or 2 threads. It is becoming more widespread. Going forward, heavy warnings will be issued for all that add to the cause of shutting these threads down. I will also say that posting on this forum, is a privilege. When I start using the ban from forum tool, that action will be permanent. I will also remind everyone that once a thread is locked, that discussion ends. It doesn't get brought to another thread, or a new thread about the same topic doesn't get started.
  9. There's room for only 23 more participants. Lets try to fill those slots before the deadline on Monday night.
  10. I have discussed this in great detail with upper management. For now, this is a firm decision.
  11. Unfortunately, it is on the verge of being discontinued.
  12. Based on posts here, I thought the popups started after the updates. I was not informed about them previously.
  13. This is what I was told: It's been pushed back several times on account of scheduling conflicts with the celebrity. If the customer doesn't want to wait any longer they can reach out to the sig team and get their book graded as is or refunded. Or they can continue to wait.
  14. I thought all of my PM's were read. I clicked on the unread box and found 2 that were not read.
  15. We don't know the date yet for the signing, but are finalizing it.
