[dealer] But this makes no sense. You’re asking for…

[customer] That’s right. That book on your site — I need to see a back cover scan before I’ll buy it.

[dealer] You need a back cover scan? For a slabbed 9.6 book? It’s a friggin’ CGC 9.6 UNIVERSAL WITH WHITE PAGES!!!

[customer] Dude. Just trust me on this.

According to Mike's grade distribution table, 113 players completed Round 1 (down from 125 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 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0
2 9.2 9.2 9.2 9.4
3 9.6 9.1 9.2 9.2
4 8.5 8.2 8.5 8.5
5 9.4 9.0 9.2 9.2

The Board scored 137 bulls-eyes in Round 1 (24% of all grades submitted, compared to an average of 21% in CGC Grading Contests #1 thru 9).  Here are a few other notable observations based on the data reported above:

  • Book #01 (Avengers #10):  An average-difficulty book for the Board as a whole, with 26% at the same grade as CGC and 67% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board matched CGC (8.0 vs 8.0).  (thumbsu  (thumbsu
  • Book #02 (Frankenstein #13):  The easiest book for the Board as a whole, with 33% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 81% ( :whatthe: ) within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board matched CGC (9.2 vs 9.2).  :headbang:  :headbang:
  • Book #03 (Showcase #97):  The toughest book for the Board as a whole, with only 15% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and only 41% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was two and one-half grade increments more critical than CGC (9.1 vs 9.6).  :facepalm:
  • Book #04 (ASM #252):  Another average-difficulty book for the Board as a whole, with 29% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 65% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was about one-half grade increment more critical than CGC (8.2 vs 8.5).  meh
  • Book #05 (Superman #75): The second-toughest book for the Board as a whole, with only 19% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 62% within one grade increment of CGC.  :whatthe:  Collectively, the Board was two grade increments more critical than CGC (9.0 vs 9.4).  :cry:  :cry:

A strong start for the Board as a whole!  :banana:  :banana:  :banana:

I was not able to sign up this time around because I have some family stuff coming up that makes it unlikely that I will be able to finish all of the rounds. But I am still playing along for fun and to see how I do.

This round I ended up with an unofficial 5, and had one bullseye. The ASM 252 was the one that got me, figured it was a 7.5 rather than 8.5.

This race is gonna be all peloton, no breakaway unless we see some low/mid-grade specimens.  :sumo:

A round of all coverless books might be just the balm I need.  :cloud9:

I tried to hedge my bets with Showcase #97 by adding in notes when we (I'm completing this with my son)...it did not work :violin:

Showcase #97 8.5 stain/foxing on upper edge on rear cover not noted in graders notes, but i saw it!

Showcase #97 8.5 stain/foxing on upper edge on rear cover not noted in graders notes, but i saw it!

Keep in mind that I only post the graders notes above the books that are not visible.  I post the full list of notes right after each reveal.
