Round 12 Commentary

 

The near halfway point arrives to groans and moans as only 14 contestants manage to successfully identify the CGC Grade. Of the Top Ten only Timmay notches 5 points as he moves six places up to find himself in a five-way tie for First Place with canickus, ckp1680, G.A.tor, and toro.

 

Contestants to watch: Warlord, the only contestant outside the Top Ten to notch a second bullseye in a row!

 

An extremely TOUGH Round 12 ends with ONLY 38% of the contestants getting within +/- 1 grade but only 12% hitting the bullseye.

 

Round 13 has GOT to be easier!

Bullseye and i am still at 89th..

Wow

[Shark]

I have 20 points in the 6 odd numbered rounds and 2 points in the 6 even numbered rounds. I will therefore be skipping rounds 14,16,18,20,22 and 24.

[cheetah]

I had it as an 3.5. Close enough for me.

Graded Jerry's book two years ago, after selling it raw to chromium. Never followed-up or knew if he got it graded so it's doubly nice to have hit the bullseye and gotten the raw grade right when it sold.

Anybody who guessed 4.0 on that book needs to have their head examined.

[Larryw7]

I saw it as a 2.5, and bumped it to 3.0.

I have a 4.0 that looks better than that Avengers. Maybe it's time for a re-sub

[joe_collector]

Okay, I just ran another query and kudos to the contest organizers, as this appears to be an older submission, which when combined with a high Census edition like Avengers 1, makes it very hard to track.

 

Due to this, I would bet the overall results are among the worst yet, as there was really no way to job this round. Lots probably got lucky with a CGC 3.5 data mine, but that was just coincidence.

 

Anyone who guessed 4.0, and I don't think there are too many, got it legit - did any of the top placers get it right?

No, I meant that I think the contest organizers got tired of seeing them contest getting rigged by data miners and tossed a monkey wrench into the mix.

[Hibou]

I had it a straight 3.0 and wished for a 3.5... ... and lo and behold... it's a 4.0.

Some of us think it's a 3.0 and rounded up to the 4.0 that was submitted.

It wasn't the first "wrench" and it won't be the last.
