yes I also ended up with a total score of 2 by guessing 1.0 and 8.5.  so sickening.  My initial gut was 1.0 and 9.4 then i kept looking for defects.

Also greeneggsandham did not even have the decency to ask me if I didnt want to re think my 8.5 grade.

Meh,

I put 2.0 for IH and 9.2 for NM

I figured 2.0 was the best that IH could have gotten but I guess strategically I could have given IH a 1.8 and hedged my guess. Oh well.

 

Good strategy to round up for keys on account of the 'bump.'  At least, that was my rationale for 2.0 guess. 

Like you I now feel I should have gone with my gut at 1.8, heh.  But I forget the rule of tape and when that rule changed - in retrospect should have assumed the grade must reflect that piece was fully detached since it wasn't a visible defect or noted on the label (we only knew it because Andy told us).

If he had just done this and then when I asked should I go higher or lower then he could have said I would go higher mate then i could have said like 9.2?  Then he could have said maybe a bit higher.

Dang. I went 1.5 and 9.6. I haven’t submitted books for a few years. IMO more strict now. I submitted a detective 1 new 52 rrp once and thought for sure a 9.0. Black border on that book. Had good size spine stress and came back 9.6. 

there should be no dang involved here just jumping for joy.  2 points like I got-thats a dang.  If you get 8 points per round you will probably win this contest.  No dang.
