Looks like a 5 for me. 1 bullseye and off by one grade on 3. Didn't see the soiling on the FF #94 and gave it a 8.5. Really wanted to go with a 4.5 on the Flash but just couldn't see it with the staining and paper lift on the back 

+1 yet my bullseye was the 9.6!

No stains mentioned on the grader note for Flash Comics #12???? 

Where is the light soiling on FF #94?

Seriously, the stains front and back on the Flash…

[flashlites]

I think I m at a 4 with 3 bullseyes? Not too bad and just good enough to have a chance as long as I get better and not worse as this thing goes on 

[Axelrod]

Das an oof.  Under-graded everything, except the FF which I gave 8.5.

8 points I think.

Wait I misspoke I was off by two on two, gave the 4.5 and 9.6 bullseyes.

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Gave Tessie 7.5 the daredevil 9.4 and the FF a 8.5 other two were bulls. Wow four points, that's even better than normal, I'm shocked!

[scburdet]

 

My Grader Notes. Just couldn't see the last one at 9.6, but I maintain you can't really be that accurate on very high grade books with photos.

[Point Five]

Dayum. Next time I'll ask for the scburdet grader's notes!

I saw the bend corner on the FF, but I didn't take into account that it breaks color I guess

I'm shocked as well... squeaked out three bullseyes in this round! I've gone whole contests with less than that.

 that was a joke @scburdet of course your notes were important incites, and I'm glad that my joke was a like rather than text misunderstood. Ah i think i just had a flashback to past grading contests where i was off mpby a mile

 

[OJ Pimpson]

Bullseyed two of them and I’ll have an 8. I whiffed pretty hard on a couple

Amen you deserve kudos, cause that is good thinking. It's amazing how I didn't stress until the reveal 

Now I've either got to toe the line or keep it up hahaha.

RIP me. I thought I saw staining on Tessie and I got paranoid and thought I was missing things so I kept lowering my grades  . Listening to my gut from now on. 

Are you talking about the back top right?  I thought the scuff was a stain, so I gave it a 6.0.  Ouch!

Don't give up!  You have three more rounds.  @TC33 was 10 or 11 points behind the leader until the third round. He got five bullseyes. He won the contest in last round.  Never know!

[s-man]

1 bullseye and a total of 5 pts...not nearly as bad as I feared

You saw the stain too!?!? It's on her leg! And it's not a Newton ring, it was on the raw scan. No mention of it in the notes either? That one baffles me. 

I was close on the others, but had Veronica lower because of the corner, but I guess CGC didn't. Oh well....

[Tom789]

8 points and one bullseye (Flash).  I'll take it for my first ever attempt.
