Gone back and forth on this as there are too many things going on this year, and I hate to give it a half-hearted.  But that being said, for tradition sake I am in. 

 

2013, 2015, 2017 winner @toro has entered the fray... Be afraid. Be VERY afraid... for it is 2019. :eek:

Be sure to do at least 10 push ups and run around the back yard beating your chest yelling, "Who Da Man?!?"

That might help :sumo:

I like this time of a grading contest.  Before the 1st book is shown I'm full of hope and excitement.  2nd or 3rd round hits and I'm doubting which way is up and questioning why i went down the rabbit hole.

because you want that participation trophy too maybe they will engrave your name on it.. lol

For those of you freaking out thinking that you are not prepared be calm for there is still hope. I offer you this one word that could save your grading from total embarrassment. Ebay. There are oodles of grading knowledge within the many comic auctions. Look for key words in the title such as "wow" or "unread". When you see someone selling a book with a color breaking subscription crease and a NM grade given to it.... just study their auctions and you will have a greater understanding of how to grade. And when you don't know whether to give a book a 9.0 or a 9.2 then go right in the middle to be safe and give it a 9.1(thumbsu and that's it. Just follow these fee tips and you'll go the distance in this contest.
