Thanks, this helps for sure.

I have my grades, is it too late to get in lol.

Oh no!!! I missed it by a few days.

spoon, was there another contest I missed? I appreciate the hard work. I definitely need to do the next one.

Grades are in.

Grades are in.

Interesting. I would still give that Sub a 2.5 all day long, and that Showcase just short of a 6 with those creases? I feel that book will hurt a lot of us. I know it's pretty clean otherwise but the length of those creases. I went 4.5 and could see 5.0, tough book.

In there like swimwear

I'm in

Congrats to the winners. Excellent job again @CGC Mike Thanks for all your hard work and patience.

It had a subscription crease? Yikes. I am missing a lot of this. New strategy for next time. Not sure what it is yet lol, but it’ll be new.

Darn, I used my phone for the entirety of this round. I am now at my computer and seeing I may have over graded everything lol. Don't trust your phones.

Oh no! The is bad? I thought I was at least .5 off all my books and I got a clover. I thought I was going to have 5 points or less this round. Looks like I AM rusty from missing the last 2 contests.

On the Swamp Thing I gave a 7.0 but can see 7.5. It’s not just a tear, it almost should be considered a small missing piece. A regular tear would not be as bad a hit. surprised the journey got a 4.0 as the 3 missing pieces total accumulation puts it as a pretty big missing junk. I get the other total Accumulation of defects is lower, but that’s still pretty big missing piece accumulation. Still lots to learn and these contests help for sure.

On the Surfer I was considering the edge wear as a printing defect. It looks to me like a printing defect and I thought that would not affect grade. Ouch. From 3rd place to who knows where I am now.
