@CGC Mike , no obligation but you have a standing offer should you wish to play & enjoy a contest from the other side of the table. :) 

Thanks for the offer, Jon.  I might play along, but will  not be able to share my guesses due to working for CGC.

I won't be able to participate, but wish all the contestants the best of luck. May the best player win*! 

 

 

*As, y'know, is what usually happens in such affairs.

Welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town. A new "unofficial" grading contest! 

I've got 12 freshly CGC-graded books in my hands. I'll provide you with front and back raw scans for each book -- and in a few cases, even more pics -- and full grading notes. Take your best shot at guessing the CGC grades.

Scoring is old-school as follows:

Bullseye = 5 points
1 grade off = 3 points
2 grades off = 1 point
3 or more grades off = -1 point.

(Remember, with my contests you want the HIGHEST score, not the LOWEST one!)  :makepoint: 

@CGC Mike , no obligation but you have a standing offer should you wish to play & enjoy a contest from the other side of the table. :) 

--

RULES (PLEASE READ!) :

-- **Post in this thread that you're "In" on this game.** I'll take 45 contestants and no more; first come first serve. I simply don't have the bandwidth to score more than that. I encourage you to play along at home even if you miss the signup... you'll get a nice focused snapshot of CGC's current grading for books like these.

-- Friday night (6/16) at 10 pm EST, I will start a Round 1 thread and post scans for the first 3 books. You'll have 48 hours to grade them, at which point the round will close and I'll post the reveals. Send me a PM with your grades (make the title "Grading Contest: [your username]") and I'll record them. Send just one PM with all of your grades and add to the thread for future rounds. No changing of grades.  

(Note: I ask that you do not use the CGC census in any way, shape or form, as IMO it goes against the spirit of the contest. By playing, you agree to this. Thanks.) :foryou:

-- Rounds 2-4 will follow, also with 48-hour turnarounds. Work & family life are a bit slamming for me and I may need to delay a round if absolutely necessary, but will do my best to keep things moving and keep you posted.  

The player with the highest score wins $25 via PayPal from me. If there are ties for first place, the tying contestant with the highest number of bullseyes will be the winner. If there are *still* ties from there, we'll divvy up the prize between those with highest scores/most bullseyes. By playing, you agree to all that too.

As an aside, I had more misses on my own personal guesses for these books than for any submission I can remember. Some grades were bang-on or very close, some I clearly missed stuff, but some had swings (and not just in one direction) that are still surprising to me. Let's call this the 'no pain no gain' edition... not for the faint of heart.

Good luck!  :banana:

--Jon
