[BlowUpTheMoon]

Welcome to the start of the March Madness Grading Tournament Round of 48.

 

Congratulations to the top ranked teams: sckao, Tsimanga, BoarderlineHoarder and DeliBeBek for earning first round byes.

 

Rules for this and future rounds:

 

 

1. Four books will be posted. PM me all grades in the order they are listed. Associate the book with the grade and include your username in the body of the PM.

 

2. Submit your grades in standard CGC recognized increments.

 

3. Due date for grades for this round is Wednesday at 10:00p (EST) or when the last team submits its grades. All grade submissions are final.

 

4. No conditional grades will be accepted. Please ask questions to seek clarification before submitting grades.

 

5. The following is a list of things I will always disclose when posting the scans.

A. Any defects not clearly visible. (ie. NCB creases)

B. Moisture Stains not apparent on the scan.

C. Damage to a book which was not present at the time of grading.

D. Any damage/ scratches on the CGC case which may appear as flaws on the book.

 

6. Your score will be tallied based on the sum of the points awarded for the grades assigned each book based on the chart below:

 

Spot on= 20 points

.2 or closer = 18 points

.5 or closer= 15 points

.7 or closer= 10 points

1 or closer = 7 points.

1.2 or closer= 5 points.

1.5 or closer= 2 points

2 or closer = 0 points

Over 2 grades off= Technical Foul -5 points

 

 

Bonus (cumulative):

2 books spot on= 5 points

3 books spot on=10 points

 

 

The Team with the highest score wins the game and advances. There will be an overtime book posted in the event of a tie.

 

Good Luck to everyone.

Batman #234 - Off White to White Pages

Ignore the black lines on the front cover that go through "Robin". Scanner issue.

 

 

 

Night Nurse #4 - Off White to White Pages

Ignore the black lines on the front cover.. Scanner issue.

 

 

 

 

Superman #170 - White Pages

X-Men #105 - Off White to White Pages

The white dot on the front cover by Jean's face is a piece of styrofoam.

To give a reference on the fading of the magenta on the front cover, I included a third scan of the X-Men front cover and a Daredevil #11 cover.
