zzutak Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 On 7/28/2023 at 5:02 PM, CGC Mike said: I should have added a graders note for the Spidey #38 and the HoS #92. I missed the graders note for the spidey #38 "Stain bottom of interior through book", and I thought the "Small multiple water stains front cover "was more visible for the HoS #92. I realize everyone was given the same scans, but if it's decided by you guys that the last 2 books affected your scores, I can add 2 different books to round 3 and redo book 4 and book 5 of the second round. Otherwise, we will move on to round 3 and continue as we normally do. I am sorry that this happened, and it won't again. I got crushed on Book #10 (HOS #92). But everybody had access to the same data, so put me in the "move on to Round 3 and continue as we normally do" camp. No do-overs!

scburdet Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Pretty accurate this time around except the HOS. That was the one I had the most questions about as my contemporaneous angry grader notes can attest jcjames and ChrispyC66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brumil190 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I am probably in last after this round. Hopefully I can get better in the upcoming rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CGC book says a removed staple only lowers to a 6.0. Splits are a big no-no unless they are teenie. In other words, the longer split here means the missing staple doesn't lower the grade further. Side note, I have a qualified 9.6 with no staples b/c it never had any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withering Wind Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Six for me this round. HoS killed me as I had it at a 7.0. As I take a closer look at the book, I can see more of the defects than when I "graded" it. Mike - IMO, no need to redo books 4 & 5.

Superman2006 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I had my worst round ever with a 10. Ouch! I undergraded the first 3 books, and overgraded the last 2 books, which might have something to do with the graders' notes Michael shared. Oh well, I'm with zzutak, and think we should just move on to the next round, as everyone had the same scans / graders' notes...

Administrator CGC Mike Posted July 29, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted July 29, 2023 I'll wait for a few more people to chime in. If most are in favor of moving on, I will start round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crose87420 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I'm not anywhere near one of the better graders here, but, I think moving on is fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom789 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 My best ever and 2 bullseyes! 3 this round redeems my awful first round 10. I got really lucky on the Harvey as it was a shot in the dark on how to grade those multiple split pages. More Fun #102 6.5 6.5 Harvey Library #1 5.0 5.0 TTA #11 7.5 7.0 Spidey #38 5.5 6.0 HoS #92 6.0 5.5 Sandflea, Point Five, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) More Fun #102 - 5.0 (6.5) 3 Harvey Library #1 - 4.5 (5.0) 1 TTA #11 - 6.5 (7.0) 1 Spidey #38 - 5.5 (6.0) 1 HoS #92 - 7.5 (5.5) 4 10 points I will say I didn’t see the water spots on HoS 92. Would have lowered my grade for sure. 4 points on that book is a tough pill to swallow when the defect is not visible. I’d vote to throw out that book for everyone and move to round three otherwise replace it with another book.

trmoore54 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 WOW. Thought I had a 7 Round 1 but was an 8 because I forgot about the 1.8 grade. 9 this round even worse So much vacillating...was solid 6.0 on the fun...maybe 6.5...then went the other way with 5.5. HARV was very nice overall...but that dam spine/pages split...5.0 or 4.5...picked 4.5. TTA don't think I could ever get to 7.0...my grade 6.0. ASM another vascillation...6.0/6.5?? picked 6.5. HOS off 1.5 at 7.0...gonna have to go back and study that book...thought CGC would be more lenient with that dark cover/notoriously hard book in HG. On to Round 3...but hey it's Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
