I'd venture a guess that the B&B got hammered for the soft creasing through the logo and right edge... but 110% agree that the Avengers 1 grading a 4.0 is inconsistent with any other slabbed 4.0 I've ever seen.

 

Roy, how long ago did you submit the B&B 28? Just curious.

I had a B+B #28 that graded a 4.0 and I thought 5.0+ easy. The book some light creases on the front cover...it was otherwise a nice looking book.

 

The fact that both of these books are the same grade is in my opinion a travesty.

But Roy, grading isn't an exact science is it lol

Key bump? (if such a thing exists? ;) )

 

I still don't think it's a 4.0 Oh well, at least I got a point.

I suppose I can take some solace in the fact that I went with the majority 3.0 grade. :pullhair:

 

You know, I've taken a look at my results from the first 12 rounds, and if I had gone two increments higher each round, it would have been worth an extra 10 points. I may have to change my strategy and start applying a double bump to all my guesses. :kidaround:

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.

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.

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

 

It was the first one that I found could not be jobbed - look at the scores too, that should tell the tale.

Yes, look, everyone in first place (5 people) have so far all agreed on exactly ONE book (the first, which almost everyone got). Two other books have had four out of those five people agree on them (a different four in each case). I guess that proves they're all mining different veins, huh?

Nope. :eyeroll:

 

It should have been a 3.0, but there was no miswrap so they gave it a 4.0. :baiting:

Amazing. I thought it was a dead lock at 3.0

 

I`ve had some really tightly graded 4.0 books lately that looked nothing like this book. Just amazing.

 

I would've bet the ranch this book was a 3.0 or 3.5...no other possibility! :sumo:

Not enough damage for a 2.5 and too much going on even for a weak 4.0. We see books of this nature all the time in the Buddy Can You Spare a Grade thread and consensus would NEVER come to a 4.0 on this book...

 

For the 4.5 and I believe 1 5.0 grader :o ...I'd recommend eyeglasses in the near future... :insane:

I don't think you can bust on anyone for giving high grades... this is a "Guess the CGC grade" contest, not a "what would you grade this book" contest. There's a big difference... as we've been finding out the hard way!
