dang.  I saw a 7.5 on untamed with all the staple wear, scuffs and smudges.

Don't think it was staple wear, just gloss from the cover.

And the scuffs and scratches were on the case.

I'm the greatest grader ever!!! Orrr..... I kinda got luck on the second book. I "thought" I saw a flaw that looked like it would be a 9.4, but I was afraid it might just be scanner dust or a case scratch. If it was, the book looked like a 9.8 So I cut my losses and guessed a 9.6 so I'd only be 1 grade off whether it was a 9.4 or 9.8

 i was so hyped for the contest that i missed the notes that the startling was incomplete....  i'm a doofus

I was aiming in the 7s on the second book, until I started noticing that the wear and smudging I saw were identical on both covers. Seemed like there was a good amount of scanner schmutz.

I'm going to be the first whiner and say if over 25 people got this right, then I'm glad I now understand the rules of engagement. CGC Census DB here I come.

so the rancid fingerprints on the back of Untamed were case smudges?

scuffs on case should be mentioned.  This is a grading game, not a guessing game.  As far as staple wear-

[skypinkblu]

Well, I got one right and probably shouldn't have actually looked at the 2nd book. I guessed right without looking, lol...but changed it;)

Double bullseye, along with half the rest of the field apparently.

NICE!

If we were grading scanner smudge I demand everyone that guessed 8.5 or below get a bullseye and anyone guessed more than that get -2.

Kav, I missed you.  Are you ready for  Dr. X's Christmas Thread? 

[thirdgreenham]

Sorry about the smudges and whatnot.  

I didn't even think about the scanner glass until I had around 30 grades all 9.2-9.8 and then someone guessed 7.0.  Then I thought...uh oh.
