2024 Grading Contest Summer Edition Season 3 (#11) Round 1 18 18

[Panda2]

You should have mine now Mike! Wholly overthought and probably off by a country mile!

[Cerebus3000]

Submitted. Last minute as usual, but I am definitely more distracted than usual by life commitments for probably the whole contest.

[Cman429]

Made it with a whopping 10 minutes to spare  I dunno why I had it in my head the deadline was Tuesday. I was wondering why I kept getting notifications a day early... This was a total rush job so I'm sure I did abysmal but hey at least I can still participate in round 2!

[CGC Mike]

This round is closed.  The reveal is coming in a few, followed by the graders notes then, a link to round 2.  I should have the results up around noon or so tomorrow.

Here's a link to round 2

 

[Yorick]

There's a consolation prize for last place, right?

[Stefan_W]

The Headline Comics pretty much took me right out of this one. I figured a detached centerfold tops a book out at 2.5 or 3.0. 

[Morganmi]

Not a great round for me. Headline and Action both being more critical by 2 points.

[Cerebus3000]

Argh! Happy to have scored a 3 for this round but mad that I didn't go with my gut.  Without last minute second guessing I could have scored a 1.

[aszumilo]

Headline #6 - 5.0 (5.0)
Weird Mysteries #11 - 2.5 (3.5) -2
Detective #268 - 4.0 (4.0)
Action #243 - 7.5 (8.5) -2
Fantastic Four #86 - 8.0 (9.0) -2

Got bullseyes on the first three and was feeling pretty damn smug. 
 

Then the wheels fell WAY off.

I think you can get as high as a 7.0 with a detached centerfold.

 

I should have stuck with my gut on a couple, but I got one bullseye at least:

Headline #6 - 6.0 (5.0) - 2

Weird Mysteries #11 - 2.5 (3.5) - 2

Detective #268 - 3.5 (4.0) - 1

Action #243 - 8.0 (8.5) - 1

Fantastic Four #86 - 9.0 (9.0) -

 

[Panda2]

That cover tear and wear on the headline was way too severe for a 5.  I was at 3.5.  Ugh

[Cman429]

7 points this round. I missed every book by .5 except the Tec which I had at 5.5. You’re seriously telling me it’s a half grade BETTER than that beat up Weird and that way WORSE than than a comic with a chip out the cover and detached centerfold? Ridiculous
