Andy (who, along with Shin, ran the Green Eggs grading contest for a decade), had a good deal of fun messing with the contestants, via his choice of emojis and comments he included in each PM that confirmed "grades recorded."  I still have nightmares.

I still have fond memories/nightmares of those emojis. Sometimes I would live in the clouds for a day or so thinking it meant bullseyes, then the cruel truth when my grades were posted.

Here are the rules.  Please read them carefully.

There will be 4 rounds with 5 books per round.  After the deadline for the signup thread has ended, I will start a new thread in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section, scans of the first 5 books will be posted, and I will start a PM thread between myself and each participant.  Be sure to use THIS PM thread to submit your grades every round. I will post a list for the books in the thread where the books are posted for each round.   Please copy and paste that list into our PM, and add the grades for each book.  Only CGC grades (numerical) will be accepted.  Non CGC grades like fine+ or Very fine- will not be accepted.  Be sure to follow the threads that the books are posted in.  This is the only way you will know when the next round starts.  There will be no update when the next round begins sent to our PM thread.  All of the threads with the books and the results will be posted in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section. 

You will have 4 days to get your grades in.  After I record your grades, I will reply to the PM thread so you know that your grades have been recorded.  Please do not bump the PM for any reason other than submitting your grades.  Nobody will be allowed to change their grades.  Do not discuss your grades with others in the thread until the round is closed.  Also, please do not ask any questions about the books publicly or privately (by sending me a PM) .  If I am provided any special notes from CGC, I will share them in the thread.  If anyone fails to submit their grades for a round, their participation in the contest will be terminated.  You will also not be allowed to enter the next contest.  You will have to "sit one out"  An exception will be if someone contacts me with a legitimate excuse.

After the 4 days are up and the round is closed, I will post scans of the books in CGC holders to reveal their grades, and include the graders notes for the books.  A new thread will be started to show the results of each participant.   The results thread will most likely be started the next day.   There will be a new thread started for the next round.   This thread will most likely be started within an hour after the prior round has ended.       

0 points is the best score one can achieve.  1 point will be added to your score for each grade that is higher or lower than the actual grade.    If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 4.0, your score for that book is 2.  If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 6.0, your score for that book is 2.  If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 5.0, your score for that book is 0.

CGC will be awarding $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place.

No.  CGC is going to award prizes to the top 3 participants.  If someone wants to start a prize thread that is separate from this, that is fine.

98 people have submitted their grades.  I am still waiting for 40 people.  Keep in mind that if you submitted them very late Saturday night to about noon on Sunday, there was a glitch that removed everything from the boards that was posted during that time frame.  That includes all PM's  If you submitted during this time, check to make sure I got them.

It's what I got too.

My first impression was, "let it ride!"

No snake eyes! Haha
