I went 8.5 on the Bats. There's no way that's a 9.2 with that top right corner. 

I totally concur.  Just another CGC gift grade.

[DavidTheDavid]

9.4 and 4.5

[kav]

I went 9.2 4.0

I actually thought the BA was a 9.4 but I factored in the wtf factor.  I almost did the same for the HOS, and if I had, i would be sitting on 10 pts.

Dont 4get the wtf factor, folks.

Yeah, I 8.5d it too. For same reason, that dogear wear top right.

Oh I'd like to thank my agent and @oakman29, who talked me out of quitting the contest.

I felt the same, but I need to remember they only give 8.5s to books like that if I am the one submitting them.  I should have bumped it.

So my ranking since round 2 has been 33, 32, 36, 35, 34... for round 7 will I be 31 or 37???

I'm now 31st!!!

[fastballspecial]

Went 9.0 and 3.5 

I went back and forth on 9.0 or 9.2

3.5 seemed about right, but again it could have gone either way up or down at that grade.

Same. And after the last few rounds, I am breaking out the champagne.

The BA 12 is definitely a book I would have graded 8.0 due to the URC corner crunches before doing a bunch of these contests. (I'm learning something!)
I went 9.0, which was not on the money but at least in the ballpark.

The HOS looked to me like a 3.5/4.0 tweener, but I went 4.0 because the inks looked pretty bright. I guess you can't give a GA bump to a book from 1963! 

 

[comicquant]

I'm going to try to request the grader of the BA12?  I had it at an 8.0!  I don't think I've ever seen a book with a 1/4" tear on the bottom and a multi-dogear get over an 8.5.

+1
I was debating 9.0 and 9.2 until I noticed that corner. I almost went 8.0 on it. Very disappointing.
3.5 is low on the HOS. I went 4.0 but considered 4.5 until I looked at the back cover.

1st guess on hos was 3.5 so of course I had to put 4.0. Thought the ba 12 could go 9.2 or 9.4. Went 9.4. I’ll  take the 6 points though. 

Likewise.  I had BG at 9.4/9.2 and the HOS at 4.0/3.5...went 9.4 and 4.0 feeling the rhythm of the bump...arrgghh.  Take the 6 points though.    Makes you wonder how people manage not only manage a double bullseye but multiple double bullseyes...

[Michelangelo]

I went 9.2 and 3.5

first ever double bullseye!!
