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. When 2014 dawned, it was the Age of canickus, and he arose to seize the trophy, winning with a legendary 15 bullseyes out of a possible 20! 2015 saw toro storm back to reclaim his throne. Thus are the legendary grading contest stories born and passed from year to year, generation to generation.

 

Now it is 2016.

 

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:

 

145 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. Low grade Golden and Silver Age books abounded! :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 immediately dropped out. Others withdrew. We started with 145 challengers and we end with 142 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 TheGeneral, the 2016 CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest Champion!

And yes... I'm just recycling the old commentaries... It's a race against time to get the Final Rankings calculated and put up... :frustrated:

I am still kicking myself for missing the first round. I thought I had until midnight to get my grades in that night, but I logged on around 10:30 and realized I had missed the deadline.

 

You are our Epic Peach. :cloud9:
