If you took some lumps, hope you'll stay with it to the end anyway. Plenty more books still to come.

Round 2 on the way shortly!

Don't worry, 1 out of 3 this round ain't bad. In the meantime.....

An ultra-cool slate of books to get this contest off to a great start!    Here are the key measures of central tendency for Round 1 (Mean = the average grade; Median = the middle grade in a numerically rank-ordered list; Mode = the most common grade):

Book	CGC	Grade Distribution Statistics
#	Grade	Mean	Median	Mode
1	1.5	2.5	2.0	1.8
2	8.0	8.2	8.0	8.0
3	2.0	2.2	2.0	2.0

Here are a few notable observations based on the data reported above:

• Book #1 (Action #33):  The most challenging book for the Board as a whole, with only 15% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and only 44% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was three grade increments more lenient than CGC (2.5 vs 1.5). 
• Book #2 (ASM #300):  A relatively easy book for the Board as a whole, with 24% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 62% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was almost one-half grade increment more lenient than CGC (8.2 vs 8.0). 
• Book #3 (Black Cat #50):  The easiest book for the Board as a whole, with 35% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 68% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was almost one-half grade increment more lenient than CGC (2.2 vs 2.0). 

Many thanks for the opportunity, Jon.

From my experience with CGC grading contents, CGC always soften GA books.  I thought about 1.5 on AC 33 but I had a second thought about CGC's intention so I put 2.5 instead.   I wished I listened to my guts instead CGC's intention but I will do better on next round.

The covers look great on my cellphone! Which is probably why I overgraded every single one.

My late afternoon cell phone grading attempt was a hard fail
