Congrats to Toro and Massive thanks to Andy and Shin for another great contest. I went for it on the last round thinking that the only way to gain ground was to go for the surprise. Crashed and burned.

So those scrapes on the avengers were production defects?

They are either 1- 2inch creases or cuts on the back that apparently went unnoticed because I would not have graded them without including that in my final grade.

Congrats Toro!!!

 

You crushed this thing, me, I moved up from a meager 53 last year to an absolutely dominating 57.

 

Boom

I was hoping to use my 15000th post to celebrate double bullseyes...alas, twas not to be...too many 3s and -1s left me in the middle of the pack. But nonetheless, what a blast and serious KUDOs to Andy and Shin for another great contest and a barrel of fun!

 

CONGRATS to toro and the top ten-percenters!

 

CONGRATS to everyone who played all 20 books!

 

I can envision a future raw book sales thread where I can make the unequivocal statement "Hey I'm an average grader and you can look it up!"

 

I think the beauty of the contest and the grading is for most of us we would be pretty confident that we could ascertain most any book within 3 grades...skilled enough and lucky enough to nail it or get within 2 grades and you get points...land 3 grades away and you're in the negative zone...

 

THX AGAIN Andy and Shin! Can't wait until next year!

Classic production creases/folds. I think the deducts were for foxing, dirt, loss of gloss and the two blunt corners (esp lower left FC)

Definitely NOT for foxing! I hate grading a book with foxing - it should bring down the grade same as a stain, but it doesn't.

Happy to finish where I did. Congrats Mr. Trump, err, I mean Toro. Thank you Andy and Shin for the fun contest.
