FINAL Commentary, AWARDS, and FINAL RANKINGS What started many years ago as Nik's Grading Contest has now become The Green Eggs Grading Contest. The torch has been passed. In 2013, perennial winner toro once again stepped up to claim the inaugural prize. When 2014 dawned, it was the Age of canickus, and he arose to seize the trophy, winning with a legendary 15 bullseyes out of a possible 20! 2015 saw toro storm back to reclaim his throne. TheGeneral laid waste to the competition leaving a path of devastation in 2016. Starting a pattern of winning in ODD years, toro once again climbed the ranks and emerged victorious in 2017. When 2018 dawned, Azkaban dominated the competition to seize the throne. Thus are the legendary grading contest stories born and passed from year to year, generation to generation. Now it is 2019. Now it is the FINAL YEAR. And so the clarion call to battle issues forth anew. The beacons are lit. From nearby towns to cities from far off lands, they come. From the far reaches of the Wintry north to the warm shores of the Southern Isles... all come to stake their claim once more and to compete for the Ultimate Prize. 118 Contestants. 20 Books. 10 Rounds. ONE Champion. Whether they were old hands trying once again or babes in the woods learning round after round, each found that this was not an ordinary Grading Contest. Nay, it was something far more. Low grade Golden and Silver Age books abounded! Super High Grade books were few and far between! Few realized that what they had stumbled upon was THE hardest Grading Contest to date! Some could not take the pressure and immediately dropped out. Others quietly withdrew as the rounds grew tougher and the journey that much harder. We started with 118 challengers and we end with essentially 107 challengers to see the journey to its climactic conclusion. The ROUNDS are now over. The Mathematically Eliminated Line has done its silent and deadly duty. Quiet floods the land once again. Weary eyes lift for the final judgment! In the end, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! Congratulations, KryptoMayor, the 2019 CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest Champion! 2019 GREEN EGGS GRADING CONTEST FINAL RANKING GRADING CONTEST LORE There are and have been other grading contests.

Round 10 Results are UP! FINAL RANKINGS to follow.

FINAL RANKINGS are determined by POINTS and are determined at the end of this contest after ROUND 10. TIES are broken by the NUMBER of BULLSEYES, followed by the NUMBER of THREE POINT ROUNDS, THEN ONE POINT ROUNDS. IF THE TIE IS STILL NOT BROKEN, we go to the Round of the FIRST BULLSEYE. And then the SECOND. And so on. There are NO TIES. The FINAL RANKINGS are unique and are also used for the order of the picking of prizes.

You were an awesome defending Champion

Sorry... I started generating the charts and then I realized all my black lines looked blue. Now I realize my eyes may be not seeing what they should be seeing... I just wasted 10 minutes.

ROUND 10 IS NOW CLOSED. Your Journey with the Green Eggs Grading Contest is NOW ALL BUT COMPLETED. Round 10 Results coming up, followed by Final Rankings.

Yep. Somehow, my eyesight has actually improved. Must be from eating all that spinach...

NOTE: ROUND 10 ENDS FRIDAY, NOON PACIFIC TIME.

No worries. I need to head out soon. I'll be back... maybe.

Seriously, it's better for most to pretend this was a NINE ROUND CONTEST.

(Knows your Round 10 score)

Time Keeps on Slipping.... Into the Future... 96 Grade Sets are in.

I've always been on Pacific Time (So has my clock.)
