FINAL Commentary

 

What started many years ago as Nik's Grading Contest has now become the Green Eggs Grading Contest. The torch has been passed. In 2013, toro once again stepped up to claim the inaugural prize.

 

But now it is 2014...

 

And so the clarion call to battle issues forth anew. From nearby towns to cities from far off lands, they come. From the far reaches of the Wintry north to the warm shores of the Southern Isles... all come to stake their claim once more and to compete for the Ultimate Prize. :eek:

 

122 Contestants. 20 Books. 10 Rounds. ONE Champion.

 

Whether they were old hands trying once again or babes in the woods learning round after round, each found that this was not an ordinary Grading Contest. Nay, it was something far more. Nary a modern was to be found. :cry: Super High Grade books were few and far between! :frustrated: Few realized that what they had stumbled upon was the hardest Grading Contest to date! :acclaim:

 

Some could not take the pressure and dropped out. But this contest was different. NO ONE was disqualified or left to withdraw. We started with 122 challengers and we end with 122 challengers to see the journey to its climactic conclusion.

 

The ROUNDS are now over. The Mathematically Eliminated Line has done its silent and deadly duty. Quiet floods the land once again. Weary eyes lift for the final judgment!

 

In the end, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

 

Congratulations CANICKUS, the 2014 CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest Champion!

Great contest guys! A lot of fun, even if I was getting mad every time I saw all the GA and DC comics you picked to use. :mad: You don't even understand the curse words that would spill out of my mouth seeing the new two comics to grade. I see I finished towards the bottom but it was still sooooooo much fun! :applause:

 

PS. Don't forget me if you wanna sell that WOF issue. :foryou:

I know that I speak for the others that tied for first, it feels really good to finally get past Toro. Actually Toro just ran out of rounds.

 

Fantastic tournament, Andy and Shin.

 

I am absolutely stoked to get the books in the last round, and it took both bulls eyes to do it. I am printing out the trophy now.

 

Looking forward to next year.

The last two rounds felt relaxing compared to other years for me. I knew that there was no way all of you could get -1s. :insane:

 

I was just hoping to hold onto 5th place.

:banana::whee::banana:;)

 

I would like to thank my mom and dad, my personal grading trainer, CGC for puzzeling me with all these GA books and of course Andy and Shin for the hard work of counting-out all my over-and undergradings. (worship)

 

Thank you Andy and Shin for all the fun. :applause::applause:

 

Congratulations to all Contestants :)
