Popular Post zzutak Posted July 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) According to Mike's grade distribution table, 121 players completed Round 1 (down from 128 at sign-up). Here are the key measures of central tendency for this round (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 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 2 7.0 7.0 7.0 7.0 3 5.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4 1.5 1.7 1.8 1.5 5 8.0 8.3 8.5 8.5 The Board scored 141 bulls-eyes in Round 1 (23% of all grades submitted, compared to an average of 21% in CGC Grading Contests #1 thru 6). Here are a few other notable observations based on the data reported above: Book #01 (Popular Comics #66): A challenging book for many contestants, with only 18% at the same grade as CGC and only 50% within one grade increment of CGC. However, collectively, the Board agreed with CGC (4.5 vs 4.5). Book #02 (Archie Comics #39): An easy book for the Board as a whole, with 31% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 68% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board once again agreed with CGC (7.0 vs 7.0). Book #03 (Thing #15): The most difficult book for the Board as a whole, with only 12% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and only 38% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was two grade increments more critical than CGC (4.0 vs 5.0). It could be argued that the CGC grader was the party who whiffed on this one! Book #04 (Hulk #5): Another easy book for the Board as a whole, with 32% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 68% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was nearly one grade increment more lenient than CGC (1.7 vs 1.5). Book #05 (Marvel Spotlight #10): An average difficulty book for the Board as a whole, with 23% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 61% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was about one-half grade increment more lenient than CGC (8.3 vs 8.0). A strong start for the Board as a whole.

I can see 4.5 on that one but 5.0 was surprising to me. It looks to be about a Quarter sized piece missing and I feel like those books have graded in the 4 range in the past. Does anyone have any type of helpful reference for grading pieces missing other than just past examples they've seen? Hudson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar that got 3.5, boardie I bought it from had it pressed and crossed fingers for 4.0. He got a similar grade on another book, but I would have figured the 4.0 was tops.

That book looks like a 5.0 to me from the front but I'm guessing there are some issues on the back, otherwise it's probably a CPR candidate.

Cman429 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I was one of the 4.0’s on Thing so I take solace in being with the majority even if it cost me two points. Man, I thought an 8 would be a solid if unspectacular score. Now that I see dudes are throwing up 1s snd 2s I feel like a rec league player going one on one with Steph Curry ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the obvious of this showing CGC probably graded too softly on Thing #15, I think this also shows that they went a little too hard on Marvel Spotlight #10. I'll concede I was a little too optimistic at a 9.0, but I don't know if that should really be below a 8.5.

Ride the Tiger Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I guess the question would be... when does a moderate defect become a major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganmi Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 2 bulls then I whiffed on The Thing with a 4.0 and totally whiffed on hulk with a 2.5. Looking at it again I don't know what I was thinking. Off by 1 point on GR oh well. On to round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
