this is a good point, though. Zooming in too much can absolutely make a book seem worse than it is.

6.0 and 7.5 :facepalm: :facepalm:

I swear I see more than moderate surface wear on those. 

 

I went 6.0 and 8.0.  We are obviously better graders than CGC.

Me three.

Bad corners, crunch at bottom edge of the lower grade one (Iron Fist), surface wear bottom rt of the Cap Nomad (all those spots at bottom right along the guy's sleeve may be "manufactured" but there are plenty of CA 180s with nice clean covers and no spots).

Me four.  Except I went 8.5-not that it helped me much.

Think about this though... If Andy had made bullseyes worth DOUBLE the last three rounds, that would have made some wild score swings.

Since this is the LAST Green Eggs Contest, we'll also do WHAT IF SCENARIOS... Like BEST MARVEL GRADER... AND BEST DC GRADER. BEST GOLDEN AGE GRADER, etc. (thumbsu

Grading Contest Books:
01: Startling Comics #47  Off-White Pages (Better Publications)
02: The Untamed : A Sinner's Prayer #1 White Pages (Stranger Comics)
03: Wings Comics #88 Off-White to White Pages (Fiction House)
04: Captain America #117 Off-White Pages (Marvel)
05: Super Comics #v2 #2 White Pages (F.E. Howard Publications)
06: Batman Adventures #12 White Pages (DC Comics)
07: Kamandi #1 White Pages (DC Comics)
08: Amazing Spider-Man #300 Off-White to White Pages (Marvel)
09: Jumbo Comics #90 Brittle Pages (Fiction House)
10: Conan the Barbarian #1 Off-White Pages (Marvel)
11:  All-American Comics #89 Off-White Pages (DC Comics)
12:  Invaders #1 White Pages (Marvel)
13.  Marvel Premiere #15 White Pages (Marvel)
14:  Amazing Spider-Man #800 "Virgin Edition" White Pages (Marvel)
15:  Aquaman #1 Cream to Off-White Pages (DC Comics)
16:  Archie Comics #50 Off-White Pages (Archie Publications)
17:  Marvel Premiere #15 White Pages (Marvel)
18:  Captain America #180 White Pages  (Marvel)
19: House of Secrets #92 Off-White Pages (DC Comics)
20: Fantastic Four #10 White Pages (Marvel)

 

Someone will have to help me break them out into categories though. :gossip:

 

For instance, through ROUND 9, @shiverbones is actually the best Marvel grader with 34 points out of a possible 40 points. (8 Marvel books) @JJ Speederman comes in second at 32 tied with @Point Five.

I was 9.2 for Cap and 8.0 for MS15. Definitely my best round in a while. And glad I seem to have corrected for all my under-grading.

I haven't look at round 10 yet, but I'm hoping I can finish strong.

My grades have improved over the last 3 or 4 rounds. It's probably luck. But I still feel like I've learned a lot from the rest of you guys as the contest has progressed. Mainly from reading the post grade comments.

I also now have a CGC insider on retainer. However, he has proved to be unreliable and takes forever to get back to me with his grades. He should be providing me grades for Round #10 by April 2020.

think about defects outside of my usual comfort zone

You probably should reword that before @kav sees it lol But yea, I agree. You get used to seeing and judging books in a certain manner and it becomes automatic. Like when you send an email with a typo/mistake. Miss it the first time and you never catch it on a second read. Without "guidance" from others :banana:
