Warm Up Grading Competition - Round 7

[trmoore54]

Nice books!

 

Grades in...

[Red84]

Hoping for a strong finish.

[thunsicker]

So how are we doing? With 22 graders submitting 44 we have 9 bullseyes, 14 one grade off. Amazingly 4 of those bullseyes are with 2 graders.

 

Still waiting on grades from:

ACES

budsbundy

jessebrook1

paul747

Revat

snowman28

spideyfan76

timern

 

and NOT toro.

[timfinz]

Grades sent! Thanks Tim for a great tournament! And an awesome display of books! Looking forward to participating again next year mate!

 

Cheers!

Tim

So, it's a 4-way race. Will toro choke on the last two books? Did Tim have advanced knowledge of Ernie's dislike for grading Golden Age books? Can thirdgreenham, ACES, and ADJ all secure an 8 to 10 point round? Will it be enough for the top 4 places to change positions? All of these questions and more will be answered tonight. Check back at 8:00 PM Central Time. (thumbs u

Ernie told me it was Magazine Sized books he had trouble with...

 

And it should be 7:00 PM CDT.

[thirdgreenham]

Oh yeah, right. 8:00 EDT.

[Aces]

Am I too late--- grades sent.

[thunsicker]

Made it with plenty of time to spare.

 

I'm going out with a friend for drinks at 6 so I'm posting the standings as of right now and the tie breaker book. Everyone who would be in the prize running has entered already.

[thunsicker]

[thunsicker]

So final standings:

 

toro ekes out a close win over thirdgreenham followed closely by ACES. Chip Cataldoand MR-Sig S will need to do the tiebreaker for 4th place. ARK, bb8 and stanley1883 will need to do the tiebreaker for 6th place. AJD and oakman29 round out the top 10. eeb03, SNiPER and wasteddraftpicks will need to do the tiebreaker with two of the three making the prize list!

[Aces]

Dang- finish strong with two 5's and Hammy didn't blink!

[AJD]

So what were the last two books graded? The census data really threw me on those - I would've assigned "impossible" grades left to my own devices. Just wondering.

[trmoore54]

The TC 59 was a 6.5. I missed the first book by 1/2 grade so I'm pretty sure it was a 6.0...I guessed 6.5.

[MR SigS]

 

 

 

Well done, Chip

[AJD]

The TC 59 was a 6.5. I missed the first book by 1/2 grade so I'm pretty sure it was a 6.0...I guessed 6.5.

 

Oh well, didn't matter then. I would have significantly under graded both of them anyway. With that FC piece missing I thought the first one wouldn't grade any higher than 5.0

[thunsicker]

Yeah, I was waiting in case Revat wanted to try the grades, but I can post the pics:

 

 

 

 

[thunsicker]

Now out for a beer. I'll check PM's later.

[MR SigS]

I guessed 6.0 (almost went with 5.5 for TC) for both.

I darn near guessed 6.5 for the BT6, then changed both RIGHT before I hit 'Submit'.

I thought the exact same thing. I really blew it on the GA books. This has been a fun contest!
