CGC Mike

Grades are due by Monday August 8 at 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. Underworld #3 Adventure Comics #256 Spidey #54 Iron Man #55 New Mutants #98

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 $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place.

I am not sure how talking about movies can cause such a ruckus. 1 person has been ejected. If I have to keep coming to this thread, I may have to lock it. I have already lost track as to how many times i have been here.

By my count, 101 people have submitted their grades. I do not have time to flag people who have not submitted.

86 people have submitted their grades. I am not sure I will have time tomorrow to flag the people who have not submitted their grades.

All I got to say is, I banned the violin emoli when replying, and after I do the reveal, I will most likely take the rest of the night off.

67 participants have submitted their grades. The deadline is tomorrow night, and a lot of people haven't submitted their grades.

Criticism is not ignored. I do try hard to make these contests fun for everyone. In the future, I will try to study the notes better, and list a hidden defect, if I see one.

I'll have to record all these grades tomorrow. Customer service and other issues got the best of me tonight.

I'm all for that. I believe everyone here is an adult. I suggest acting like one. If not, I will be forced to take action.

Give me a little time, and I will start a poll for you. I am REALLY swamped right now. Next week, I will have more time to do this. Feel free to remind me next week.

There's one more option. I have a ban from topic tool. The 2 of you can either cease fire, or I can block you from seeing and posting in the thread. As a rule, moderation issues in the OA forum is rare. This thread seems to have struck gold. I want it to turn into iron pyrite.

Hi Seems this is a forum question, I will step in and suggest that you start a poll and see what other members feel about this. If a majority of the forum members are in favor of this, I will set one up. Mike

We now have a new QC manager, and have hired multiple specialists for QC. It will take some time but things will improve. I send the QC manager examples that are posted here and in other threads every week. I have had a meeting with this person, and I am confident that he is very good at what he does. He has meetings with the people that work in different stages of the grading and encapsulation process. They see what is posted here, and he is working hard to make sure things improve.

I am not 100% sure what is going on here but, I want the discussion about this to be civil. If I have to come back to this thread, I will use the ban from topic tool for anyone that doesn't post in a civil manner. It really isn't that hard to do.

If I can be of assistance, please send me your customer id number via PM, and any submission numbers you have, and I will look into this for you. Mike

I am looking for PM's. HELLO, IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

Hello Could you please add payment info and a return policy to your terms of sale? Thanks

I just hid a post, and am copying this from the rules. Please do not ask any questions about the books publicly or privately (by sending me a PM) .

38 participants have submitted their grades. I think I will call in sick the night of the reveal.

We are now in round 3. This is round 2.

Hit comics #5 changed to a 5.5 Thanks for being honest, and I apologize for making the mistake.

I have passed this along to management.

I am not sure why you didn't receive this. It was announced in early July.
