[porcupine48]

I also said 3.0 and 9.0

yep

[Ron C.]

Sorry, said 3.5 and 9.0

[aggr1103]

What did I miss on the WD 1? All I could see was the soft upper left corner.

Spine tick also

[Ron C.]

Also the color breaking tick on the tree- back cover right middle edge.

[Ron Rau]

Under graded both by 1/2 a point I said 3.5 and 9.0

 

Same exact grades here

[jcjames]

Aaaand once again I will reign as King of the Undergraders!

 

 

 

I hammered TWD1 for that top corner dent, small spine-stresses and soiling on back cover. Not good. I call'em as I see'em.

 

But really, 4.0 for the OAAW ! Wow. Looks like a 1cm tear to the middle right edge of front cover - that alone would bring it to 4.0 for me. But with all that other stuff going on with the c--b cover creases, spine splits, top edge fading and tears... just wow.

You guys are forgetting about The Nik Bump.

[FineCollector]

3.5 and 9.0 here too.

 

I thought the Our Army at War was a lock at 3.5. I'm calling that one a gift grade.

I didn't know The Nik Bump was transferable!

[Chaseman210]

Wow, I under-graded both books. How come that doesn't work when I send books to CGC?

 

Same here...

[spidermanbeyond]

I graded the Our Army at 3.5 (was leading towards 3.0 and lower). Definitely did not think 4.0. WD #1 at 9.4. Thought about 9.2 but the corner ding and spine crease looked small. Oh well, next round.

[trmoore54]

Damn I said 3.0 and 9.4

 

We don't care what you said

[oakman29]

Get in line.

[Azkaban]

I'll take it

same exact grading I gave though I felt the GA bump the OAAW might push it to a 4.0 as I had it at 3.5/4.0

 

I tend to struggle with moderns in general and saw the WD as possibly 9.2 to 9.6

 

I'll take it though as I put very little time into the whole process. I found last year that the longer I looked for flaws, the more I imagined and the worse my guess became. Initial gut feelings were often more right than the final decision.

Remember, even if you've done badly this round... At most, you're 12 off the lead. There are 9 Rounds left and another 90 possible points available.

 

And now... a motivational video:

Inspirational and funny

[Noodlez]

Whoo Hooo, 7th place

 

I was in 3rd place after round one last year (or some unimaginable high ranking number) and finished like 62nd at the end of the tournament ...

My constant undergrading has turned into overgrading
