Looks nice... What was the fatal flaw?

 

I don't know (shrug) I never did call for grader's notes. I thought it was a 9.0-9.2 :tonofbricks:

 

I will find out and post.

It's interior:gossip:

Last year when I won, I sort of decided the rules for that contest. It went like a draft. The top 5 picked in order of finish. I also had the person who had the most right without a negative get a pick and the Rookie of the year got a pick.

 

Last year there wer 17 gifts.

 

Finisher one got: 5 picks

 

Finisher two got 4 picks

 

Finisher three had 3 picks

 

Finisher four got 2

 

Finisher five got 1

 

Rookie of the year 1

 

And most right without going negative got 1 pick.

 

So it went finisher 1 picks one item, finisher 2 picks one item etc. Then it goes back to finisher one.

 

But there are no hard set of rules. One other year I think the winner received everything, I myself wanted it to be more open and reward those who stuck it out to the end.

 

I also will be submitting a prize just got to find something first. lol

Do you get anything for 2nd or 3rd place? hm

 

At this rate I'm just hoping there's a prize for last place :tonofbricks:

 

Great idea! I will donate this for the last place prize. It is the worst grade I have received on a book that I submitted so it is an appropriate prize.

 

:applause: So I won't walk away empty handed :roflmao:

I called for grader's notes and I remember this book now. The notes were, "Water damage in upper right corner on reverse." I remembered this book because it was one of my lessons many years ago in always making sure you take a book out of the bag and look at the back cover before buying at a con (or including it in a submission to CGC).
