The 2010 Nik Memorial Grading Contest *Round 19* Results

[DrWatson]

1) Why the hell can't i pick lottery numbers like this

 

2) That elimination line is coming up faster than a speeding bullet UFO over Jerusalem

 

3) #20 will end my FlukeFive™ streak i'm sure of it

Yes, your reversal of fortune is quite remarkable.

[Mr. Zipper]

I was hoping that was a stain on the back cover at the top left edge and was trying for the sneaky bullseye.

I felt I was going to have to pull out a long shot to start moving up.

I gambled and lost.

 

 

I thought there was a stain there, too.

 

My 100% undergrading streak continues.

Well, if you think you see a stain on the back cover and no other info is provided, are you supposed to ignore it?

 

Apparently.

 

The overarching theme of the contest appears to be: ignore small flaws, and grade as optimistically as Chuck R on an eBay free listing day.

Scanner trickery! The difference is grading from scans

[Mr. Zipper]

(thumbs u

 

It's too late for this contest, but I need grade scans based on what I see, not what I think I might be seeing. I've deducted for flaws that didn't exist in way too many rounds.
