14-6? We shall see.

Not terrible. I agree on the 2001. I don’t get it. 

[Ride the Tiger]

I calculated 12-8 but we'll see what "the man" says.

[sckao]

If you didn't get a , we disagree....

There's a thread on the boards about grading books with Siamese pages with CGC examples.  The result was don't tear the pages apart or else it would be harshly graded.

I did my research and got burned - no not burned - crispy crittered on the ASM.  However 14-6 overall I think - no bye for me.

I do the spreadsheets. Once I verify they're correct... Then BlowUptheMoon can do them going forward since the next rounds only have FOUR books and are much simpler.

It's a rather large Excel spreadsheet with VLOOKUPS, RANKINGS, and other formulas.

There was a squarebound with Siamese pages in last years Seeding Round.

I compared the "schmutz" to other books that graded much higher that appeared to have the same "schmutz". Is there something else besides the "schmutz" that lowered the grade that much? I mean look at this 2001 with the same "schmutz" 

 

I thought that the staples had some spots of rust.  Discoloration at the least, if not actual rust.

I'm sending out PMs to everyone letting know we're moving forward. 

Done. 

[boatfund]

I always do better at the seeding rounds - much more consistent over 10 books than 4.

Mine is 11-8.  4 books are pretty tricky.

So we are WAY off here...

We are getting 13-5 for you. +2, +2, -1, +3, -2, +2, +2, -1, -1, +2 = 13-5
