FINAL Commentary and AWARDS

What started many years ago as Nik's Grading Contest has now become The Green Eggs Grading Contest. The torch has been passed.

In 2013, perennial winner toro once again stepped up to claim the inaugural prize. When 2014 dawned, it was the Age of canickus, and he arose to seize the trophy, winning with a legendary 15 bullseyes out of a possible 20! 2015 saw toro storm back to reclaim his throne. TheGeneral laid waste to the competition and laid claim to 2016.  Starting a pattern of winning in ODD years, toro once again climbed the ranks and emerged victorious in 2017. Thus are the legendary grading contest stories born and passed from year to year, generation to generation.

Now it is 2018.

And so the clarion call to battle issues forth anew. From nearby towns to cities from far off lands, they come. From the far reaches of the Wintry north to the warm shores of the Southern Isles... all come to stake their claim once more and to compete for the Ultimate Prize. 

140 Contestants. 20 Books. 10 Rounds. ONE Champion.

Whether they were old hands trying once again or babes in the woods learning round after round, each found that this was not an ordinary Grading Contest. Nay, it was something far more. Low grade Golden and Silver Age books abounded! :cry: Super High Grade books were few and far between! :frustrated: Few realized that what they had stumbled upon was THE hardest Grading Contest to date! :acclaim:

Some could not take the pressure and immediately dropped out. Others quietly withdrew as the rounds grew tougher and the journey that much harder. We started with 140 challengers and we end with essentially 110 challengers to see the journey to its climactic conclusion.

The ROUNDS are now over. The Mathematically Eliminated Line has done its silent and deadly duty. Quiet floods the land once again. Weary eyes lift for the final judgment!

In the end, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Congratulations, Azkaban, the 2018 CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest Champion!

Congrats to Azkaban (a worthy winner). To Red_Hood (for keeping him honest) & ElrodAllWrong for claiming the final podium position. Special mention for Mr.TawkyTawny who fought so hard for so long.

Now that toro has had his customary year off I suppose he's a shoe-in for 2019. :ohnoez:

(tsk) not so fast lol

Way to go @Azkaban!

'Grats to everyone. I'm going to spend the offseason training hard in the PGM forum. Whew...I had some stinkers in this one. Missing a round entirely did nothing to help me.

thank you Sir :applause:
