March Madness Grading Tournament- FINALS

[Comicdey]

let's see the final rankings 1-16

[Nostalgic Attic]

It is great to hear so many had a good time being a part of the tourney. It always seams anticlimactic when I post that final score. After all the grades, posts, banter, PM's, scans, controversies, prize donations and spreadsheat entries, the climactic final grade post doesn't do anyone's efforts justice. This tournament wouldn't work without everyone who entered and played. So thanks to all of you also.

 

On to the prize picking!

I must have tuned out last night just before this went up. I really think the obvious choice has to be 14. Mystery Box (NostalgicAttic) (sounds like a fun prize-so I'm matching sckao's)

 

I mean, it could be anything, right? Maybe a mid grade Action #1? Reader copy of Det #27? Mint AF #15? I figure it's likely one of those, but who knows, right!?!?! I can't resist the mystery!

Etanick, you're up! I'll send a PM...
