I got 3 points on the Showcase 97 because I mistakenly thought those were stains and 2 points on the Superman 75 because I thought there was a 1/4" crease in the bottom right corner FC that I guess wasn't there or that book couldn't be a 9.4. Those mistakes are due to not having the book in hand. Once I saw the notes I actually agree with 4 of the grades, but the biggest surprise to me was the ASM 252. There is about 1/4" tear w 1 1/2" crease along with spine ticks, large scuff all color breaking. In addition, it is just an overall dingy copy for a modern book. That book should never be better than 8.0 and I would personally grade it at 7.5.

@CGC Mike These are great contests and lots of fun for everyone, so this is not a complaint but a suggestion. In the future, it would be nice if the books that were selected for grading didn't have major defects that you can't see in the scans. In round 2 there were 2 books that had spine splits that couldn't be seen in the scans. I realize there was a note about them, but the length makes a big difference in being able to assess the grade accurately. 

I would suggest that the notes include the approximate length of the split if there is doubt about whether it can be seen and also whether a staple is completely detached when that is not obvious because that is another defect that can sometimes be very difficult to accurately assess in a scan but has a major impact on the grade. 

The other solution would be to just not select books that have major defects that may not be seen clearly in a scan. 

I think either of these suggestions would go a long way in making these contests more enjoyable and educational for people.
