Holy Karp Batman!  I won this contest? 

My goal in the last round was not to screw up so badly that the great @LordRahl didn't pass me.  I had no idea what to do on the BB54. Usually I can get it down to 2 grades, but I had that somewhere between a 2.5 and a 4.5 and I almost split the difference and went 3.5.  But since it seemed everything was going high, I went 4.5.  Just glad to get the point. 

Congrats to @comicquant, @marmat, @NinjaSealed you guys kept the pressure on all the way as well as @Chillax23 and @TheGeneral I was expecting Blowie to pull out the bridesmaid dress again for me.

I also want to give a shout out to two people @ninanina and @Comics181, who even though they were near the bottom in points they continued to play in every round and I commend them and hope to see them in future contests. 

Thank you Andy, thank you Shin!  Another fantastic contest!  You guys keep the fun alive in these boards and you both truly honor the memory of Nik.

You never gave up, never surrendered by Grabthar's Hammer!

Apparently Kav is closer to you than the rest of us.

I certainly think kav is a great guy who gets undue carp from some around here.

If that's what you mean.

Congrats to toro and all the winners! (worship)

Three of those last four books were my downfall, and one of my takeaways is that I learned quite a bit about how CGC grades books with heavy or extensive foxing/staining (ASM #129 which I undergraded, and BB #54 which I overgraded).

My biggest takeaway was that this contest was a blast, and the commentary after each round was hilarious!

Huge thanks to Andy and Shin for running this contest! :applause:

Was definitely hoping for a top 20 spot after the first couple rounds but maybe next year.  Happy to finish in the same group as guys like Blow Up The Moon, KPR Comics, Spideyfein and Entalmighty1 who I see all the time in the sales area.
