after that AT got a 9.4 I thought this was a shoe in. The other problems I thought were on the case. Yikes

 

Yep it was a shoe out.

[Michelangelo]

My initial gut was to do 8.0 on the ASM.... Then I overthought it and decided on 8.5.... But before submitting, I overthought again because overall it looks too good, so submitted a 9.0

Me too. Not sure about "pretty close" though - a 4 point round

yea as far as points in the contest not great.  Still though, pretty close grades through those slabs based off a scan.  In hand I could nail those I think.

I said just watch them both be 8.0-I was being facetious.

Yeah that ASM has me confused. I had it as 9.2ish, but bumped it up.

I saw 2 light defects what was on the book?

 

[LordRahl]

Yeah wow... 8.0 on that Hulk? I had the ASM right but the Hulk looked slightly worse to me and gave it a 7.0. Oh well.

 Think this asm has some other non visual defects- maybe ripples or light bends that aren't visible? Looked really clean other than the corner bends

I'm advancing in the wrong direction 

[fastballspecial]

The Hulk I had at 8.5, but I could see 8.0 easy.

The ASM book though that one hurts it looked very nice.

I'm good.  Missed the Hulk by 1 and hearing people who thought the ASM was a 9.2 gives me hope that I may not drop in the rankings.  Trying to make a dramatic come-back after a serious dip.

 

[toro]

Kudos again to all of you who grade these by phone.  I missed a lot of things on that ASM.

Me too. Had 9.2 on that ASM but got hammered for the double corner creasing on the bottom right corner.

CGC hammers it based on how long they are and those were kind of long.  I should have knock it down more but was reluctant after undergrading several books.

[musicmeta]

ASM killed me...Sure looks a whole lot better than 7.5..Geez! The Hulk book saved me from total ruin..I was only 1 grade off. 

[Red84]

My streak continues!  1 bullseye in each of the 6 rounds and the other book i've been either +1 or -1.

 me too.

I literally need to double bullseye the rest of the round to have a shot at the top 10.

***So I'm saying there's a chance
