Pretty sure I got as many points this round as I did the previous two.. :facepalm: Would only be 6 without that really really stupid grade I sent for the Hulk. That one earned me 7 all by itself.. ufc-octagon.gif.f6a9b63c2139cb833d95748c0260c7bf.gif

Try again.  152 boardies submitted guesses on all ten of the Round 1 and Round 2 books.

It's hard to count them back and forth without the order number. I was off by 10. Few people forgot to submit the grades.

BTW, that Wings Comics killed me already.  I got 3 points on last four books but I graded 1.8 on Wings Comics that ended up with 6 total points.  I agreed everything included Overstreet Grading Guide but how it ended up with 3.0?  Hulk is much better than Wings!

Just playing along to see how I would have fared.

Had 8 points total after 14 grades, and then came the Hulk 181.

Called it a 2.0

doh!

I really should have looked over that Hulk and double checked my grade..

I really have no idea why I sent in that grade of 7.0 :facepalm: ( I am truly ashamed)

Well. Definitely not advancing.  Congratulations to those who did!

My 2c ,

Wings #1 2.5 (and I felt uncomfortable not calling it a 2.0)

Beware #10 5.0 (IMO, recessed staples aside it looked pretty good!)

Atom #1 4.5 (hate stains, and this book looked stained through; I'm quite surprised that I undershot it)

Silver Surfer #1 8.5 (my only bullseye)

Hulk #181 3.0 (had it as 3.5, second-guessed & decided it was pretty fugly and likely in the 2.5/3.0 range.)

How in the actual %*^& does that Wings get a 3.0???  I have a Flash 139 that's graded at a 2.0 that looks worlds better than that thing!  SMH  Man, these GA books are KILLING me!

Wow, I agree, these low-grade Golden Agers have been my bane in this contest. The book looks terrible without the 1/3 spine split, but a grade of 3.0, sheesh!

Nice!  (thumbsu

I swear, I have this uncanny ability to be *one grade off* almost across the board, no matter whether it's undergrading or overgrading. Every time we do the grading contests with the 5/3/1/-1 scoring, I have more 3s than anyone in the top third or so.
