hey Mike ... you sent a "grades recorded" to me yesterday... but if you would like i can send again!

Sorry for the flag.  If I said grades recorded, you should be on the spreadsheet.

This round is closed.  The results coming in a few, followed by the graders notes.  I will not be posting a link to round 4 for about 1 1/2 hours.  I need to record several people's grades on the spreadsheet first.  It is hard to record grades for round 3 when grades from the next round are being sent.  The results should be posted tomorrow.

This was an easier round I think - but I don't know WHAT I was seeing in that HoS to give it a 4.5 

Maybe the top f/b cover chipping. I dunno. 

 

I went back and forth on that chipping too. And I was gun-shy from my terrible 15 point performance last round (5 of which were on the HoS 92). So I just went with my gut.

9 pts for me this round.  Only 1 off on 4 books, but 5 off on the Strange Tales.  I thought those were stains on the top left front cover, but no mention in the notes.  Distributor's ink?  Also marked it down for the spine wear.  I've got a 6.0 that looks way better than this ST.

Wow. Best round ever for me. Four bullseyes and a total of one point. It almost makes up for my 10 point round two.

Good job on the 1 point! Similar results for me. In round 2 I had my worst ever round with 10 points, and in round 3 I had my best ever round with 2 points.

I didn't blow it this time, unless you count War Fury #1. If you count that, then I blew it. I got 2 bulls-eyes (HoS and ST), and two single pointers (MP and FF ann). And then on War Fury, after getting pummeled on the Thing, which I think was over-graded by a full point (and think 29 fellow boardies here agree), I decided to be arbitrarily generous and gave it a 6. Bad move. Cost me 4 points, for a total score this round of 6, and a cumulative score of 18 for all three rounds.

A few questions from someone who bombed this round but is trying to learn (memo to self - bump your grades by .5 regardless of what you think you see)…

House of secrets - is that not a stain on the back cover by the ‘salve’?

Strange Tales - is that spot above the torch’s head considered distributor’s ink?  Also did they count the CB crease in the torch’s leg a printers crease?

 

I was 

5.5 way low -minor spine split, small tears, cover creasing

3.5 close enough

4.5 small pieces out FC, stain on rear, small spine split

4.0 spine stress, foreign substance on FC, colour breaking crease FC, readers crease

8.0 close enough

 

ugh 13. After a 5 last round…

 

thanks in advance for comments and opinions!

Not bad at all - you're still ahead of me, and I managed 6 bullseyes so far across the 3 rounds! I'm sitting at 22 - that's how poorly I did on round 2... :tonofbricks:
