2015 CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest- Round 2

[01TheDude]

I don't know if the smileys in the PMs mean anything. I certainly don't plan on worrying about it. My guess is they are random

 

Don't mean anything?? DON'T MEAN ANYTHING???

 

I didn't say "they don't mean anything"-- I said I don't know if they mean anything. There is a big difference imo

There's a similar scene in the movie Screwballs.

LARGEST JUMP UP THE STANDINGS SO FAR: 64 spots

 

LARGEST DROP: 78 spots

 

Which one is you?

 

No one is out of it based on a bad first round! It's still anyone's game!

I'll take some comfort in the knowledge that it's mathematically impossible for me to drop 78 spots.

Do those of us that missed getting our 1st round grades in still qualify for the competition or do you need all 10 rounds?

You're fine. What you end up with as a Final Score is the most important criteria as it determines your choosing order in the Prize Drawing after the Contest.

 

There may be an award for people who never miss a round or never get a negative score, etc...but I wouldn't worry about those.

That's what you have to remember about these contests.

 

We are *not* grading books or attempting to prove who is the best grader, we are simply trying to see who is the best at half-predicting/half-guessing what grade CGC gave to that particular book at that one particular point in time.

 

You're trying to be Kreskin, not Bob Overstreet. Remember that, and you'll be alright.

 

This is why I've never understood people's comments about "well I would have graded it such and such". This isn't a contest about what YOU would grade a book. Because frankly no one gives a damn what YOU would grade it. This is about what CGC would grade it.

Well, disqualified list here I come..

Now that I understand the game a bit more, I hope to do better. This really is a lot of fun!

 

Certainly can't do that much worse than the first round though! !

Its all in fun. Our book in hand would probably differ from our scanned photo grades.

LARGEST DROP: 78 spots

 

 

I was dropped that many times...so it's probably me.

 

 

 

 

48 hours seems a little long no? Ugh, can't wait!!!

 

 

[kav]

it's 6 hours not 48 i thought

[Noodlez]

it's 6 hours not 48 i thought

 

 

Yea it is. I meant between each round.

[kav]

i know i always want results right after i enter my guess

[stanley1883]

Come on people lets get the grades in before

Game of Thrones starts. I'm not sure what condition I'll be in afterwards

[Noodlez]

Hell yea

I was thinking before the NBA Finals come on...

 

Either way, let's go! This has been really fun so far!

[Senormac]

I'm thinking I was tied for 57th place before, so moving "UP" 64 places would put me 7 spots above the ceiling.
