Someone suggested that but, I don't believe it will happen in this contest.  Possibly in a future one.  

I think it would need to be a give-away at your discretion, Mike.  Otherwise (as they say), people will just tank the last round to be last.

Give it to someone who might actually be able to improve from it...

I am debating on adding a prize to give people incentive to complete all 4 rounds.  Maybe a lottery prize.  I'll speak with management about this for future contests.

This round is closed.  I will make 3 posts.  The first one will be the reveal of the actual CGC grades.  The second one will be the graders notes for the 5 books.  The 3rd post will be a link to round 4 (the final round ).

I changed two grades this afternoon which cost me bullseyes. Will I ever learn?

2 bullseyes….much better this round. Can’t believe the capt flight grade. Had it lower w the rusted staples, etc.

Good round for me. Two bulls, off by a grade on two and two grades on the Swampy for a round of 4. I wanted to give ST a 7.0 but with that tear and the FRLC, I just couldn't go higher than a 6.5. Tough book to grade. I waffled last minute on the Astonishing Tales otherwise it would have been three bulls.

1 bullseye and 4 1 point off.  So close to perfect

Astonishing Tales 25.

Started at 9.0.  

Changed to 9.2. Sent PM, and changed to 9.4 after sending, before Mike received.   2 points

Capt Flight 5.5  0 points (was sure I nailed this one)

JIM  3.5   1 point (this is a crazy 4.0)

Silver Surfer  9.2  1 point

Swamp Thing  7.5   0 points (started at 7.0, gave it a cgc bump)

 

4 points total.

[CGC Mike]

I should have the results and spread for this round about midday tomorrow.

[Axelrod]

Two bullseyes and still my worst round!

I think it's six though, which isn't quite as much of a disaster as I was fearing.  Worst miss was the JIM I had at 2.5 with all those stains and pieces missing....

[PINWHEEL]

Best round for me so far.  3 bullseyes on the first 3 books, 3 points for the other 2 books.

[JohnH19]

Two bullseyes and 4 points. By far my best round.
