Burntboy vs. Valiantman : Showdown

[jbud73]

Congrats Valiantman, looked like a pretty tough book for the final and you nailed the grade to win.

Thanks to Nikos for running the contest, it created a daily bright spot on the boards.

 

Congrats to Valiantman for nailing it at the end. I was guessing 9.0. I guess chances are good that we'll see some new cgc valiants in the near(maybe, not-so-near) future?

[Rip]

I had 8.5 all the way, possible 8.0.

[jbud73]

ya I guessed 8.5 too, but I also thought the book in the first round was 8.5 as well

[DiceX]

WOW!

The guy that won beat the guy, that beat the guy, that beat the guy, that beat me.

Somehow that comes out to me being tied for third place.

 

Congrats V-Man!

B-Boy...come sit with the losers.

[hobbes]

Congrats Greg!

WE HAVE A WINNER

 

Burntboy - 9.2 vs Valiantman - 8.5

 

 

 

congratulations Greg!!!!!!!

 

with the way the books were turning up, no way i was going lower than a 9.0 on this one. would be curious as to whether they decided it was the impact creases along the BC ULC or the bleed-thru of the interior cover onto the back cover that hammered this pretty book.

 

Geez i kinda feel like poor Seton Hall back in 1989 beating Indiana, UNLV and Duke to get to the finals only to lose to Michigan. May never have the chance to be in this position again...........

 

I won 15.00 dollars on that game what a great game that was!

I can't believe I guessed that one! It was like Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

 

Here's the guess I sent to nikos...

 

 

"Wow, this one was tough... 9.4-9.6 on the front cover, 7.0-7.5 on the back cover,

so I guess 8.5, which is "right down the middle". "

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Thanks to Nikos for such a fun tournament...

(Looking back, I would have lost to Burntboy in the Final Four! Thank you "random seeding")

 

We're not worthy!

This is very interesting. Something to think about. Great idea Nikos.

Nah - always the bridesmaid.................

 

oh well, two second place finishes in the last two big contests should at least garner some credibility, which is what i was really striving for...........

 

thanks again to Nikos for putting in all the time and effort to run this contest and a final Congratulations to Greg for nailing that last one and taking home the prize.....

 

i think i will now bombard Greg with CGC data listing requests, as his punishment

[Comicdey]

You guys know your slabbed comics.

[Sal]

congrats to Greg, and a big thanks to Nikos for the chance to spend some of his money!

 

 

looking forward to the next one

[DNAgent]

thanks nikos!

 

speaking of the next one...when it is?

March?

 

after viewing the slabs, i was wondering:

some of the corners, especially on the right sides,

look like they could have been potentially damaged in

the slab.

have you noticed this to occur to some of the comics

up for grading in the contest? and would that affect the grade if

re-submitted in some/any cases?

Let me know next time you visit Jackies place, I will bring a few with me for you to view. They are not as bad as it looks on the scans.
