Grades in! My philosophy this time was "First thought, best thought." I eagerly anticipate my Dead Last Place trophy!

Two quotes that embodies my approach to grading comics...

“Occasionally, the “eyeball” approach to measurement is both imprecise and truly problematic, though we might not know that until it’s too late.”

"When they go low, we go high."

 

***I spent way too much time staring at these books

Yikes - grades submitted.  Not sure if the graders notes helped or hurt since they got into my head big time.

I got a rain cloud emoji back from Mike on the grades recorded reply....

Same! I'm interpreting this as I should probably sell all of my comics, move far away, and never darken this doorstep again.

Or maybe he just pulls totally random images!

Who can say?

I'm doomed!

I've been doing these competitions long enough now to know, from Mike's informative 'grades received' emoji, that, alas, my round one grades are probably horsesh:censored:

Wow, some subjective defects there when we are talking about .2 or .5 grade differences!   So are we using the grading standards from the last several grading competitions or are you using the ultra hard graders from my last 100 book submission that slammed about 1/2 my books way harder than I have seen in years?  :tonofbricks::ohnoez:

Just wait until you get your 'grades received' reply from the Greenwood thumbs_down_gladiator.gif.24ceb8c8000d5455ad1a6d34ec7b558a.gif

Ah, the simple pleasures of life!  :acclaim:
