@lizards2Thank you for taking that temptation away from me on the Sea Devils. I would have taken it a long time ago, but I was just to cheap to pay for shipping from Canada.

It wouldn't have been close, LordRahl would have kicked our behinds.

This is so tough, there are so many great prizes out there. Part of me would really like to take spidermanbeyond's offering of the 7 presses as that is such a great prize and I have picked that before, but I will let someone else enjoy that and select: Prize #1: Showcase #9 CGC 3.5 1st Lois Lane tryout issue - donated by thirdgreenham Thank you so much Andy! According to the chart @comicquant is up next.

Thanks Perry!

I need to get to bed, but I'll start off the picks in Contest Prize thread in CG.

Holy Karp Batman! I won this contest? My goal in the last round was not to screw up so badly that the great @LordRahl didn't pass me. I had no idea what to do on the BB54. Usually I can get it down to 2 grades, but I had that somewhere between a 2.5 and a 4.5 and I almost split the difference and went 3.5. But since it seemed everything was going high, I went 4.5. Just glad to get the point. Congrats to @comicquant, @marmat, @NinjaSealed you guys kept the pressure on all the way as well as @Chillax23 and @TheGeneral I was expecting Blowie to pull out the bridesmaid dress again for me. I also want to give a shout out to two people @ninanina and @Comics181, who even though they were near the bottom in points they continued to play in every round and I commend them and hope to see them in future contests. Thank you Andy, thank you Shin! Another fantastic contest! You guys keep the fun alive in these boards and you both truly honor the memory of Nik.

Grades submitted. Why do I feel like this guy?

Because you love it and you do it to honor Nik's memory.

Perry has been great, in the last two grading contests I selected his gift of pressing some books for me and he was great. He is also helping me out with a CGC problem and he has been fantastic. Perry goes above and beyond, that is probably why he is named spidermanbeyond!

Kudos again to all of you who grade these by phone. I missed a lot of things on that ASM.

Oh well, one on the nose and one punch in the nose.

I wish wecould do this like the old St Louis boards contests. They would also have the other companies books to grade too. If money wasn't a factor it would be fun to send a book to the other two and then finally CGC and try to grade the same book 3 times. But the cost would be crazy.

Just curious, is the person who graded the SW a 6.0 the same person who graded the SA a 4.5? And props to all of you who grade from phones that is tough to do.

Mystery Box - shipped US only because of weight. I'll try to make a nice mix of trades and books and probable a slab. Probably still won't be as nice as Azkaban's.

I got myself hooked on comics. I remember buying a Marvel Super-hero book with a 10 cent cover, it may have been FF #2, but I'm not positive. The one I do remember buying is Avengers #4. That one made me a true addict. I still have the book, it is coverless and all tanned up, but I love it more than almost any other book I have.

As Mr. Fury would say, "Wah-Hoo!" I'm a winner!

You never know how cold they might have the AC so I try to bundle up.

Just saw this, if they haven't sold I would take them.
