BTW, here's an interesting note:

 

CHECK the 1st page of this thread... MOST of the people who sent in their grades early GOT A BULLSEYE. hm

 

 

 

Don't overthink? Don't lie awake at night pondering the significance of a little colour loss? Don't get distracted by cryptic discussions of the book in play?

Do a quick data mine and go to bed?

Hey, there is no disputing I hit the 9.0 with a very quick data mine. If I can, anyone can. lol

 

So, your -1 for the round was deliberate?

 

I submit the grade, THEN I data mine. Whatever my other failings, I never cheat, you know that.

I left my mining gear in the top 20 spots :lol:

 

Now I'm left to a plastic spoon and a small piece of rope.

 

not enough to dig my way out, or hang myself after grading the book generously as a 7.5 :sumo:

The same grade as I submitted... then later I mined the data and came up with a single possible answer - CGC 9.0.

 

WTF?

 

That's why I've been so irritable today - I couldn't believe CGC graded it a 9.0 but I couldn't tell anyone. That's why I posted the "CGC 9.0 Miners" graphic a minute after the round closed, I couldn't wait another second. :frustrated:

Honestly, if I got that POS as a 9.0 in the mail, with that color-stripped top cover, I would puke all over the slab.

You wouldn't be getting it in the mail as that would require making a purchase.

 

Oooh, low blow. :insane:
