  1. Sorry. The final Round 10 will end at the normal time. (10:00 PM EDT on Monday night) Remember, there's lots of time to get your guesses in. That round will open at about 10:30 PM EDT tonight. So if you'll be traveling on Sunday/Monday, get your grades in just after you see the books tonight.
  2. Please consider donating a prize to the prize thread that's in Comics General. Follow this link to the Prize Thread! Thanks everyone!!!
  3. Awesome news Eric, great that it worked out! See you and Jim there. You gonna buy my Batman #1?
  4. Very happy for you. Nice to see you're out of the underwear aisle.
  5. I don't get it. He only sat out the beginning. Maybe there's nothing to get, okay? Huh? Ever think of that? Huh? Have you??
  6. I didn't know that was a thing. I had them both at a weak 8 but thought they can't be the same grade and dropped the War Stories down to a 7.5 because it had just a bit more 'shadow' on the back. It isn't necessarily a thing. I may go a contest without having two books the same grade in the same round or I may not. It's certainly a possibility, but don't EVER assume that.
  7. Starting in the cellar and working our way up, we must begin with the infamous Ken Aldred. For those watching his progress, you would have thought for sure that he would stay out of the basement, but in Round 8, he would have none of that. With a spectacular double-miss he sunk back into the spot he used to call home. Who did he pass on the way down? Why Ron C., that's who. Ron has had enough of the musty smell and all of that black mold. In fact, he was developing a bit of a cough.... Congrats Ron C. for finally turning on the lights and climbing the stairs. In a round with 13 double bulls-eyes, lots of positions changed. Most notably, just below the leaders, is LordRahl, who after missing the first 2 rounds, has pole vaulted his way up the charts and now sits within striking distance at 52 points. Can you just imagine where he would be if he hadn't missed those rounds?? (anyone get the reference? ) Three slick gents are sitting at the top, however temporarily, as we still have 4 more books to grade. 20 more points are out there for grabs. Congrats to the threesome that is comic quant, NinjaSealed, and toro. Take a bow boys, but don't hold that pose, there's an army of eager players looking to overtake you. Rounds 9 and 10 are left. Who feels like making the push?
  8. Round 9: Your grades/guesses are due by 10:00 PM EDT on Saturday, August 19th. Book 17: Human Torch #19 Off-White Pages Book 18: Venus #13 Off-White to White Pages
