sledgehammer Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This was probably answered, so sorry, but I've been waiting to see if it's the top 10 scores (and the likely dozens pf people that get those scores), or if somehow the top ten contestants, including ties for tenth place? If it's top ten "scores", that's a pretty big pool of contestants for the fourth and final round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more than 10 people finish in the top ten, tiebreaker round(s) will take place to determine who the top 10 contestants will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 maybe we could have a short break between the end of round 4 and the posting of the grades so contestants not in the top 10 can toss their guesses up for fun anyway? Please? 1 hour maybe? round ends, one hour later grades posted so the rest of us can carpet bomb the thread with our unofficial guesses in the intervening 60 minutes?

Croatbag Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 oof tough round, opened the door to victory for someone else in the play from home crowd. 8 pts total in round 1 and 2 and 9 pts in this one. Wings : 2.0 Beware: 5.0 Atom 6.0 Silver Surfer: 7.5 Hulk 4.5 gotta go back and see what I was missing, usually when miss i'm under, but I overgraded a bunch here which is unusual.

Axelrod Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 On 2/14/2022 at 11:26 PM, kav said: The stain goes thru entire book as it is seen on both front and back covers. 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.

I also thought the grade was high because of the color scrape across the mid-to-lower front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad. No one can complain about 15 or 16 points. That's only 1 point off the final grades for each comic. I would consider that excellent grading. Send these comics back in a second time for grading and you easily could have 7-8 points. Get Marwood & I and Pantodude 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
