I've been thinking about getting a simple Grading Game going.  Any interest?

I'll toss out some ideas after I eat my breakfast.

Anything!!!

Grading Game Proposal

So here's how I propose it would work:

1) I announce that a new grading round is coming up in 5 minutes.

2) After exactly 5 minutes, I post the round.  The round will consist of one front and one back scan/pic of a single comic book.

3) Players will have exactly 5 minutes to post their grade guesses.  At the end of 5 minutes, I will post a STOP sign.  No guesses will be accepted after the STOP sign.

4) I will then reveal the CGC scan/pic showing the grade.

5) One point will be awarded to the closest guess.  In the event of a tie, one point will be awarded to each player.

 

What do you think?

Anxious times all round Paul. Every sniffle makes you worry doesn't it. Keep going mate, it's all we can do.

While I'm here, a massive THANK YOU to @Ditch Fahrenheit for keeping us entertained here while everyone else is banging on about the virus. Keep it up Ditch 

Yes, thanks for putting in the time and effort. I like to pop in now and then, it's a respite from all the projects my wife finds for me to do while I'm stuck at home.

Yes, they're good at that aren't they. Two days into lockdown. Only 3 months to go

PS - I don't have tons of before and after scans laying around, so the pics in 2) above would be cropped HA pics without wedges.

I think this might actually be a good thing, since a lot of people are a little shy about their grading abilities.  In other words, this game has a LOT of guessing involved (you are viewing the book through the case), AND it's timed.  And, obviously, as we all know, you can't ACTUALLY grade a book without having it 'in hand.'  So this game is just for fun, and no one should be shy about posting a grade.

If CGC graders can do it, anyone can. Let's have one then.
