3rd Annual Grading Contest Round 1 (Results are In) 11 11

[ChrispyC66]

A couple questions…

1. On the Whiz Comics 78 is the dark mark on the top edge of the back cover a chip or soiling/ink?

2. Was the clean and press done by CCS or another person?

Thanks.

1. I am only noticing it myself now when looking at the pics and I do not have the comics in hand at the moment to confirm. I suspect soiling only because there are no chips anywhere else on the book while there are some soiling/ink marks elsewhere.

2. Another person. Also, now you got me curious, how much would this matter?

1. Makes sense.

2. CCS or not? CCS has been known to not clean and correct fixable defects like other third party professionals. It could make a difference in the final grade.

shut up and grade

 

IIRC I went with 8.0 (was back and forth with 8.5), 5.5 and 9.4, surprised it only got me 11 points.

Don't worry, I'm not giving hints, would not be fair. I am just laughing at Bird's strong confidence joke.

He might be one of the 3 so far tied at 11. But there is still a chance for someone to score 15 since there was at least 1 correct answer for each book.

It's all good. My answers are in and even if I second guess them. I usually also go with my initial impression.  Let the chips fall were they may.

Grades... sent.

I think the only thing we can agree on is the B&B is a 9.4!

No joke, that B&B 200 is the one with the least consensus.

Anyways, calling on:

@batcollector

@Tombofdracula50

@Mecha_Fantastic

@ADAMANTIUM

@Crops068

@adampasz

@mattn792

@Timmay

Please get me the grade by noon (EST) friday so that I can then provide the answers. The grades have been tough to pin point by many so there is quite a bit of anxiousness for the grades to be revealed.

Also, remember, the images are before they were sent to be cleaned/pressed.

cleaned and pressed.

Now watch how far off I am..
