Cman429 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I got the popcorn emoji as well which filled me with a feeling of impending doom. Mike’s use of emojis is an excellent use of psychological torture. ashsaytr and skypinkblu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmoore54 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 People that know me know I'm a 9.0 guy. So interesting so far I've scored 9/9/9 first 3 rounds (hey at least I'm consistent ). Shooting for a 3 this round which would be the square root of 9. Grades submitted. Appreciate the contest Mike! frozentundraguy and ChrispyC66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paqart Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I"ll be mentally kicking myself for awhile over the war comic in Round 3. If I had not bumped it due to the Thing...but I did. That one comic dropped me about ten places from where I would have been otherwise. It is, however, a serious incentive to do this again if CGC has another contest like this.

Administrator CGC Mike Posted August 5, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted August 5, 2023 So far, 62 participants have submitted their grades. Be sure you have sent me actual CGC grades. If I receive a 4.6 for 1 book, I will not be able to record any of your grades. Check your PM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope the CGC Grader looks at the real book and not the scans of the front and back cover. Just saying flashlites and CJ Design 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebus3000 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Grades submitted. This was another challenging round for me.

Get Marwood & I Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 On 8/4/2023 at 11:26 PM, ChrispyC66 said: Grades submitted! Cheers to our friendly neighborhood admin, Mike for another scintillating round of guess the grades! Hear, hear! Thanks also to CGC for stumping up $850 in prize money and to all those people behind the scenes helping with book selection, spreadsheets and other stuff As I've said before, you need two things to do well in these contests - judgment and luck. Judgement will get you to within a grade increment or two of the CGC grade, assuming that they haven't made a total hash of it. And then it's just luck - the toss of the coin as to which grade you cross out and which you submit. Anyone who gets an overall score of 20 or thereabouts - a one grade over/under average - has done fantastically well in my view. Good luck to everyone still in the running for the top three places CJ Design, paqart, ChrispyC66 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
