Wow - that B&B really got hammered. And I guess CGC took a dimmer view of the top edge of the cap than I did. At least they got the other two about right.

Yeesh, another tie? 

I don't want to tell you how to play or anything but... maybe try just a teeny, tiny bit harder? 
 

You can just cheer me on from the stands then.

Surprised the Savage got a 7.5.  CGC definitely has a weighted view on hairline creases.  I was going back and forth between 6.5/7.0 and went with 7.0.

Agreed, I said 4.5 on the B&B and thought 4.0 at worst. We've seen plenty of VGs that look much more trampled.

Congrats Oak! Best of luck in the rest of the tournament my friend!

 

UPDATE: Sorry Oak, I posted prior to the score corrections.  I'll do my best to vindicate your loss!

PMs were sent out to the four contestants needing to grade the overtime book.   Grades are due by Friday, 10p EST.

The outer cover of the Doc Savage is 6.5, not 7.5. Does that change any scores?

[spidermanbeyond]

Savage says 6.5 on Label and score sheet says 7.5.   Is this an error?

[Tsp99]

OK guys.   Hopefully I'm not shooting myself in the foot here, BUT the Doc Savage outer cover (what we are suppose to guess) was a 6.5, not a 7.5.  Still over graded imo.

That's much better. Should have gone with my gut, though. The Doc Strange I had at 7, and changed to 6.5...while the Doc Savage I had at a 6.5, and changed to 6.0. 

Changed the Cap from 7.5 to 7.0, so yay. Only whiffed on the B&B. Like others said, it got hammered.

[spidermanbeyond]

Yes, nailed the SAVAGE. Just when I lost all faith in my grading.

Wow, those scores are low.  I cannot believe I still got a tie with 24.  Toro upset with 21.

Hey, I got 28 points there, I still got my butt kicked though. 

 

These were my original guesses:

B&B - 5.0
CAP - 7.0
SAVAGE -5.5
STRANGE - 7.0

 

And here is what I submitted.   Yikes way off on the B&B.

B&B - 4.5
CAP - 6.0
SAVAGE - 5.5
STRANGE - 6.0

It's ok, man.  Now we know you are only human.  No one is invincible.

Really sorry about that scoring mix-up.  I know it changed the results of a lot of match-ups.
