Point Five's 3rd Annual Grading Contest: ROUND 2 BOOKS! 6 6

[Point Five]

On to Round 2!

-- The books have not been pressed, cleaned or altered in any way since these raw scans were taken.

-- Throughout this contest, I'm posting the full grading notes with each book. **In my opinion, this has the potential to be slightly misleading...** in some cases, the notes use harsher language than I would use to describe a book's flaw, and on the other hand there are plenty of flaws not mentioned at all. It's kind of random! So I would tend to weigh your eyes  and grading prowess more heavily than the notes, except when they describe flaws not visible (which is why I think they're still helpful on balance).

-- For this round, you can copy/paste the following in our contest PM thread:

ROUND 2

Jungle Comics #36 (copy B):

Mystic #18:

-- Clicking on the scans should enlarge them. 

-- Do not discuss the books or grades in these threads.

-- When you submit grades, I'll reply but it may take me some time, especially as we slide into the work week. Don't panic.

-- Do not use the census for this contest.

-- Grades are due Monday, August 29th 10 pm EST.

Good luck!

I was told I'd be grading X-Force #1's. 

[frozentundraguy]

My grades are in. I was tempted to veer away from my first impressions, but I was afraid of the damage backing up and starting over would do.

Grades in too  

[flashlites]

My grades are not in yet, even though I graded them both last night I'm afraid to pull the trigger as I really need 2 bulls to get back into this thing but I'm also afraid to review and reconsider last nights grades as I know that usually leads to worse grades in the end. And yet I am still putting it off so I am stuck. And now I wont even go back and peak at my worksheet from last night---I don't even wanna know.... Maybe I will just pretend I did not grade them and start fresh today and then compare and contrast from last nights, late night grading session?

[grendelbo]

I wouldn't overthink it. From my experience I'd talk myself out of a bullseye more often than I'd talk myself into one.
