Unless I'm reading it wrong you're tied for third right now.

There’s five people ahead of him. He’s tied for sixth.

I'm thinking if someone just put 9.2 for every book, would they win this? 

I almost did exactly that in Round 2. I wound up giving three of them 9.2.

8 more points for me.

Grades are in and I’m quite confident that a very high score is coming my way.

First instinct grades are in.

An interesting detail is that WR Pat Abbruzzi of the Montréal Alouettes had set the record for TDs of any kind with 20 in 14 games in the previous 1956 season!

A belated thank you, Hepcat, for posting these tributes to Blue Bomber legends, Gerry James and Kenny Ploen.
One correction; Pat Abbruzzi did catch a fair number of passes from Sam Etcheverry but he was definitely a running back.

Count me in!

Got this one on Sunday.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything new. These are books that I have picked up over the past several months.

Thanks @CGC Mike for another fun and well run contest.

I could se it getting a 5.5 with a good clean and press.

I went 5-8-5-2 for 20 points. I’ll finish high but not high enough.

5 bulls this round -  I initially had them clustered around 5.0 - the switched them to all to 5. (I lost the tie-breaker last year which I had at something like 4.5, 5.0,5.5, but they all ended up as 5.0s).

This contest I went  5,11 (4 under-graded),11 (all over-graded), 0  for the four rounds. 

Congrats on your perfect round!

3 bullseyes and 2 points for me. I had 4.5 on Blackouts and Pep.

TheGeneral has been on the podium 4 out of the last 6 contests. 

Wowzers.

He’s pretty, pretty good at his.

I’m looking forward to the results after getting these three emojis.
Mike gave me five emojis after my perfect round a few contests ago.

You missed way worse.

Yeah, I caught up with all of it.

Prices may be down now, but the Kangaroo appearances are going to bounce back!

The introduction of the Kangaroo caused me to quit collecting Spidey when I was 11 years old. I returned to the title in the early 90’s.

For round 1, I got this:  . My score was 5, with one bulls-eye. That looked pretty good to me until I saw how many others got the same grade or less. For round 2, I got . That makes me worry that I did badly or seriously compromised what was a good start. We'll see.

That’s exactly my situation. I’m worried, too.

Grading these five books took me very little time. I’m terrified by that.

5 points with one 🎯. I’ll take it.
