Grading Contest--with Prize!

[thehumantorch]

I expect (assuming that CGC remains on schedule...) that the first grades will be back next week. So I am now closing the contest. Any grades that have not been submitted are now officially too late

 

Here are my grades for the books in this thread:

 

1. Archie #2 -- 2.0

2. Dizzy Dames #1 -- 7.5

3. Subby #14 -- 4.5

4. Hedy #27 -- 5.0

5. Pep #153 -- 7.0

6. Betty & Veronica #40 -- 7.0

7. Archie #167 -- 9.4

8. Jughead #103 -- 9.4

9. Tip Top #187 -- 3.5

10. Archie #36 -- 6.0

11. Little Archie #1 -- 4.0

12. Pep #66 -- 6.0

13. Young Love #1 -- 5.0

14. Chamber of Chills #19 -- 6.0

15. Millie #36 -- 7.0

16. Mitzi #1 -- 6.5

17. Jughead's Jokes #1 -- 9.4

18. Comedy #34 -- 7.5

19. Nellie #6 -- 7.5

20. Wendy Parker #1 -- 5.5

I guessed 6 at the same grade as you and 9 at +/- one grade, so I'm feeling okay about my chances since I didn't have the advantage of seeing them in hand.

We match on 8 books and we're a half-grade difference on 7 books...WOW...you really know how to grade!

[Mio]

Methinks I should have taken more than 20 minutes to grade these books. Poop.

[B3AST]

PM me your guesses. Anyone who puts guesses in the thread is disqualified

 

You are disqualified you put guesses in the thread

 

[comicdonna]

Well, i'm thinking I didn't do that great unless Steve is bad at guessing CGC grades.

[oakman29]

I am very confident with my picks

Well, we agree on 4, I overgraded on 6, and undergraded on 10. I guess we'll see......

[mrwoogieman]

3 on, 9 within one either way, 6 more within 2 grades and 2 more way out there.

 

143ksk, I'm curious how many books you've submitted in the past?

 

 

[thirdgreenham]

We've got 6 the same, 12 off by 1 grade, 1 off by 2, and 1 off by 3.

Good luck on that Dizzy Dames #1. (thumbs u

Probably 100 or so...

[143ksk]

You are disqualified you put guesses in the thread

 

 

Of course, you're also disqualified if you use the rulez graemlin in my thread

Hey Steve, got a question for you. I sold a Patsy & Hedy #81 a couple of weeks ago (in Fine) for $100. I had it started out at $5. What's up with that? Do you know?

[thirdgreenham]

Dude I think you disqualified yourself

 

I figured it was safe since the books since Steve isn't allowing any more guesses for this round and the fact that he posted his grades here as well.

Over: 9

Under: 7

On: 4

 

Not too bad. Apparently I didn't believe in .2s or .4s I only liked 0s and .5s

 

Oh well.. I had fun doing it.

[trmoore54]

Don't give up! Guess again. It might help if you study up on your Pedigree's. This website is good for basic info:

 

http://comicbookpedigrees.com/pedigrees.htm

 

This site covers only Golden Age...is there a similar site that covers Silver Age...Pacific Coast, Curator, etc.?

[Scrooge]

I hope Steve was conservative in his assessments!

 

I have graded 10 higher than Steve, 2 Same as Steve and 8 lower than Steve.

 

My biggest gap is 2.5 grades on the Dizzy Dames where Steve grades it high and I grade it low.
