The way this is currently set up, it would take me at least a few hours to locate and list 30 people who have not yet submitted their grades. I can easily count the number of people who have sent them in and subtract that number from the amount of people participating. With that said, I do plan on learning how the spreadsheet works, and there might be a feature that would assist me in doing this.

That is a good point, and I was originally thinking the same thing. I could see people giving a 9.2 book an 8.0 with those types of graders notes. For future contests, I will check to see if we can possibly get the books with these types of defects pressed before they are scanned.

For those that mentioned extra prizes on top of the current prizes, I am guessing that would be a no. $850 is most likely my maximum budget for now anyways.

Thanks but, I am not allowed to accept any gifts.

I think we will stick with just the front and back scans but, I will try to give notes on books that have defects that don't show in the scans. My first thought is yes.

I don't know this for sure and will have to double check but, I don't believe any of these books were pressed. (again, I could be wrong and will check) So, books that have light bends or very light bends do not show up in the scans. Perhaps, I should add these notes above the raw scans in the future. I will also check the books more thoroughly and compare them with the graders notes before posting. If I feel any notes should be disclosed with the scans, I will do that.

No work was done on these books after they were scanned. All of the images of the raw books were darkened some to expose the defects better.

You just made it! Literally 5 seconds to spare.

Hello The 2 lowest sub grades define the actual grade of the card, which is a 9 Mike

Thanks for the kind words that were posted both publicly and privately. Much appreciated. These contests are fun for me as well. The round closes in about 45 minutes, and we will do the reveal.

The ebay e-mail that contains politics is off limits on this forum.

Still waiting on grades from 30 people.
