Round 3 COMMENTARY

Carnage. Only seven out of  seventeen Top Ten contestants survived to stay in the Top Ten this round as Book 6 generally devastated the competition.

Congrats to our new First Place contestant, NinjaSealed :ph34r: now leading with 26 points. Just don't get too comfortable as former champion toro has now made his way back to second place with his fourth straight bullseye. :eek:  Former leader Ryan. slips to second place after a remarkable five straight bullseyes. :applause:

Congrats to everyone who scored Double Bullseyes. This was a difficult round. :preach:

NinjaSealed, Mr.TawkyTawny, toro, comicquant, KPR Comics, Chillax23, marmat, battlerob, Sandflea, and LordRahl.

Special recognition goes to battlerob, Sandflea and LordRahl who are climbing at a blistering rate up the charts, moving 46, 49 and 51 spots this round!

Round 3 proves that any Round can turn the field upside down. Make Round 4 the Round you vault up the charts!

Commentary:

I've been trying to use each round as a learning opportunity for the next round. I don't think I'm going to do that this round. Just grade'em and don't look back this time and we'll see how it goes.

I should have taken more time with the last round. After I submitted, another look at the Baloo book had me concerned that I missed various problems-- sort of got lost with the nice spine and colors. Felt the plane book was a bit generously graded as they are typically more aggressive with what we saw ont hat back cover. oh well-- hoping for better results as we move along. that round certainly humbled me.

By the way, the OVER/UNDER chart shows how much you either overgraded/undergraded/or exactly graded each book each round. It basically shows if you have a tendency to overgrade or undergrade SCANS for the CONTEST... NOT IN REAL LIFE. 

DON'T LET IT PSYCH YOU OUT or make you overcompensate!!! :insane: :slapfight: :baiting:

Easiest round so far I thought.

Book was was 7.0/7.5 appeal, then I knocked it down for the back corner crease. It was still too nice to be a straight FN hence 6.5

66% of people thought the Baloo and Little Britches was 9.0+ :whatthe:   Honestly I was afraid CGC would give this a crazy grade like that but I stuck to my guns that I thought it was a straight VF, just too many issues on back cover along with the fact that the top corner looks pretty damaged.
