CGC Mike

Here is the official response from CGC regarding how we graded the books. We apologize for the short response yesterday and wanted to follow up with an explanation of our thought process behind the grade assignments. We treated them as we would any other variant cover that's attached with an extra set of staples after the book was printed, and at times these books included the original cover as well. There is a precedent for acetate covers being attached to a printed book, and then graded by CGC. An example is Stray Dogs #1 from last year. An acetate variant cover was attached with an extra set of staples, to which CGC assigned a Universal grade and a notation of “acetate cover” on the label. The extra set of staples were part of the manufacturing process of attaching the acetate cover, and not considered a defect.

Just a slight delay for the results. There were 2 spreadsheets, with grades added to both of them. I had to make sure everyone was included on the main one. Just waiting for CGC to give me the results and spread.

We will all find out when the results are posted.

Hello I am sorry this happened to your card. There are a number of ways the card could have been damaged. Do you have a picture of it before sending it in to CGC?

Hey all CGC will have a follow up post regarding this tomorrow.

Thanks to all who participated. Also, I appreciate the kind words in the thread and in the PM. I enjoy these contests as much as you guys do.

A special shoutout to @Get Marwood & I He got 4 bullseyes for this round, and I believe that is a record for all of the CGC hosted contests.

The results will be posted tomorrow. Hopefully, shortly after 12:00 If there needs to be a tiebreaker, I have 2 books I will use for that. If a tiebreaker is still needed, we will use these final rankings. Final Rankings are determined by the following criteria: 1) Most Cumulative Bullseyes 2) Most Books off by 1 grade 3) Most Books off by 2 grades 4) First Book in order listed to get Bullseye 5) Second Book in order listed to get Bullseye

Underworld #3 Multiple crease left center of front cover breaks color Moderate soiling back cover Light, multiple crease back cover Adventure #256 Small stain right bottom of whole book Spine and staple wear Wear full top of cover Spidey #54 Very light crease left bottom of front cover Very small wear top of spine Spine stress lines break color Tiny crease right bottom of front cover breaks color Iron Man #55 Small, light crease right bottom and right top of front cover, breaks color Spine stress lines and creases front cover break color New Mutants #98 Spine stress lines Small wear right bottom back cover

The r0und is closed. The reveal coming up in a few...

I wouldn't make a post like that without checking with Matt.

Maybe @CGC Mike can answer that for us? CGC is fully aware of what we graded and stand behind them.

About 65 people have sent me their grades.

Did I mention that someone got 4 bullseyes this round?

This link will answer some of your questions. Keep in mind that there is return shipping as well. https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc-grading/

Hi It seems to be working now. Mike

Yeah, I saved it as the current an original image, and that is as clear as it gets. Sorry.

Here is the results for round 3. If something isn't right, let me know.

Sorry, I have still not received and update regarding the metal card status.

As soon as they are provided to me, I will post them. Sorry for the wait.

Glad to hear it all worked out.
