CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 5

[thirdgreenham]

Round 5 of the CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest has arrived!

 

1.) You will see 2 books per round, for 10 rounds.

 

2.) There will be approximately a 48 hour time limit between rounds.This, and all of the following rounds, will end at 8:00 PM Pacific Time/11:00 PM Eastern Time. Look at the books; figure out the grades and PM sckao and I your answers via the group PM that I have created for us. This will be the same PM thread you will use to submit all future grades. Please do not create a new PM for each grade submission.

 

3.) No changing of grades will be allowed once submitted. Post only single, numerical grade for each book. If you post more than one grade (e.g. 8.5/9.0) then your submission for that round will be void. No excuses. As there will be 2 books per round, make it clear which grade is for which book. For example, say ASM #1 4.5 and on the next line say FF #12 8.0. Please don't screw this up.

 

4.) The page quality and any noticeable defects you can not see on the book from the scan will be given for each round. Do not PM with questions. Assume that all of the books have been pressed.

 

5.) Points awarded will be as follows; 5 points for a direct hit, 3 points for 1 grade off, 1 point for 2 grades off and -1 point for 3 grades off. If you are 4 grades off or more, I'm going to hit the "notify moderator" button.

 

6.) Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers, maybe even the top 10, depending on if we get enough prize donations. Feel free to donate a book, if you would like. (thumbs u Also,a booby prize will be given for last place. Last place is defined as the person who has participated in all the rounds and has the lowest score. You can not sign up, do nothing and win the booby prize.

 

7.) Again, many, many thanks to sckao who has agreed to help me with the score keeping and all kinds of other nonsense.

Based on the rules, are we to assume the books may have been pressed AFTER you took your scans?

Perky, isn't she?

I believe we're to "assume they have been pressed". I'm pretty sure Andy posted that somewhere.

 

 

 

I'm going to have to start collecting GA to justify the pain my brain cell is being put through.

Yes, in my first post for every round, I ask everyone to assume that all of these books have been pressed. Out of 20 books, I believe 17 were pressed. The scans were taken before I sent them away. (thumbs u

I did not know that. Now I have to reset my strategy....

 

Look at HUGE scans. Determine grade.

Add 3 points to grade to compensate for huge scans.

Add additional 1 point to each grade to compensate for CGC overgrading.

Add yet another 1 point to each grade to account for pressing not shown in scan.

 

All my grades keep coming out higher than 10.0 What's up wit dat?

Grades sent.

Omg. I totally misunderstood what you meant by telling us to "assume" they "have been" pressed.

that does make a difference and a little more challenging. Make sense now on some of my grades when I am off a lot.
