1Cool Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Wow - that round was brutal. I went - Wings - 1.8, Beware - 4.0, Atom - 4.0, Surfer 1 - 8.0, Hulk 181 - 3.0 Typical grading contest where I do well the 1st two rounds and then suck when it counts. The Wings and the Atoms 1 was the two books that I wasn't close across the board but a 3.0 with half the spine split is pretty fluff. I went back and forth with the Hulk 181 but thought the slight staining would have caused more of a drop. Thanks for the contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator CGC Mike Posted February 15, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted February 15, 2022 So, we are going to do a tiebreaker round to determine the top ten participants. This round will be between: @mccollect @Axelrod @Frederic9494 @HighStakesComics @Point Five @zoso99 @zzutak I will post 2 books, and 5 of these people will fill in the gap between 6th and 10th place on the top ten list, and compete in the final round. (2 people will be eliminated) I will start a thread for this fairly soon. All ten people will retain their scores from the first 3 rounds, and the points given in the final round will be added to their current points.

kav Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 On 2/15/2022 at 6:48 AM, Axelrod said: Yeah, I know. This is not really an excuse, but I know what I was thinking, and it was that - not counting the staining of front and back covers - it looked like a very nice book. Maybe at least an 8. So if I was ONLY docking it for the front/back cover stains, which weren't super extensive, maybe knock it down to a 7? Which is obviously wrong, as the staining clearly has to go through the whole book. But, you know, the rules say there are no significant defects to the interior....So I was kind of just grading based on the covers. Again, not an excuse and I should have known better. In grading contests, when a defect can be seen from the covers to run through entire book, there is no need to state the interior defect. Imagine a book with a hole thru the middle. If it isnt stated, would you assume the interior pages were intact because it wasnt mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that's quite enough to crack the Top 10. Congrats to all participants, there were some good books in this contest. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
