Seriously, no cheating was done

 

No cheating, but lots and lots and lots and lots of in-depth research and data mining.

 

I went back and it was simplicity itself to *exactly* identify 6 of the first 9 grades, and get between 2-3 choices on the other 3.

 

I tried the same strategy on the Iron Man and nailed it no problem. But that's not why I'm here, as evidenced by my CGC 1.8 guess on AF 15 - I went back right after and properly identified it could have either been a CGC 1.5 (highest percentage) or 1.0 (dark horse), and really nothing else.

 

And isn't it amazing that CGC 1.5 was the runaway choice, followed only by CGC 1.0... mehmeh

 

Wow, my 2.0 guess ensures I can hold the moral high ground but doesn't do much for me pointwise! :cry:

If any of you data-mining fun-suckers win I definitely am going to lick your prize before it gets sent out.

 

Wow. I remember seeing one book and suddenly I'm a data mining fun sucker.

:roflmao:

 

Maybe I will use that as my signature in the future. lol

Over 50% of my guesses are one grade under hm

 

It's a good way to slide down the table, but I just can't bring myself to go any higher. it, I'll do it next round and probably go completely overgraded.

hm Maybe I missed my calling. I could have been a professional data miner.

 

Just my luck, I'd probably get trapped for months in a Chilean data mine, forced to subsist on pencils and sheets of white lined paper.
