CGC Mike

Some others were real close to getting a warning. I recommend you tread lightly. Hard to believe that adults can get into an argument about a movie. I'll open this one last time.

I got sidetracked with other stuff. I will record grades tomorrow.

This thread is locked for the second time. It will not be unlocked. It's too bad a few had to ruin it for those that wanted to talk about the movie. Do not start another thread. Edit: I'm going to clean up the thread, and dish out warnings. The servings will be generous.

I still don't have anything to post about this yet. It may be a while. Sorry.

@skypinkblu @Crose87420 @Ron C. @boron @Cerebus3000 I have composed round 3 and noted anything I thought was camera glare. I don't think it's an issue for round 2. Anyways, it's too late for any noting in that round. I will try to be aware of this and make what I think are appropriate notes for camera glare going forward.

Camera glare along spine and outer edge of front cover.

Camera glare along the spine.

Grades are due by Tuesday November 8th 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. Captain Flight #10 Journey into Mystery #108 Silver Surfer #14 Swamp Thing #4 Astonishing Tales #25

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.

Thanks for the commentary, @zzutak Much appreciated.

Management has been aware of all of these complaints. Mike

I am sorry but, we have made no progress on this.

I know. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on me, though. I think I made a mistake in the first contest. Also, something could go wrong when CGC provides me the results from the spreadsheet. I think that happened once and almost gave me a heart attack.

And we're supposed to trust you with the numbers assigned to the books? You can always check our PM and see if I made a mistake. I do double check the grades I write down by hand before adding them to the spreadsheet. I also double check them on the spreadsheet before I reply to the PM.

Friday is November 4th... Fixed and thanks for the heads up. I did the round last Wednesday. I guess I can't count that far ahead.

Bullseye on Cap? Multiple people did. The results will be posted tomorrow.

2 people got 4 bullseyes.

Several people under graded the Sentai book. Should I note camera glare in the future? I have asked this before, and the consensus was no.
