I got this....means I'm getting my butt butt butt handed to me. Glad Mike is having some fun with the emojis. 

[Hudson]

I believe Mike is going to send me this emoji once I finally stop banging my head against the wall and send in my guesses.....

Thanks for the nudge. I hit submit reply last night but my message wasn’t sent. This time I waited to see my message appear in the message thread.

Grades In and locked!

Do you think there's a book below 7.5 anywhere in our future?

How about a half-dozen or so sweet 7.0s?  Oh, wait. 

[grendelbo]

Remember, Mike & Matt said it was going to be a bloodbath. We now know why.

High-grade Havoc.

Indeed. Obsessed with contrivance, they are...

 

A new competition starts, bringing with it the hope of a nice mix of eras and grades... 

 

The books are revealed... 

[TSwift25]

Gosh that was a hard round. I think I changed my grades on the JLA and Superman at least three times.

[CGC Mike]

Last call!

Random observation, is that the back cover for Transformers #1?

Every copy I look at (N/S, direct, CPV) has this back cover:

I hate that this is the memory that has stuck with me all these years, but that guy really should have blown his nose before the photo shoot.

I typically settle quickly on 2 grades...for this round I had 3 or 4 possibilities/probabilities on some books...

Submitted after much waffling.

 

[Axelrod]

Late guesses best guesses

[Cman429]

Grades in with a whopping 90 minutes to spare  

As a side note, a pox upon the houses of all those who bemoaned all the low grade Gold/Silver beaters that populated previous contests. Looking at one minty fairly modern comic after the other trying to assess the slightest of flaws has proven to be a tedious undertaking.

I'd much rather spend time staring at people's junk...

[brumil190]

Grades are finally in.  And here we go.
