:banana:Welcome to the March Madness Grading Tournament - Round of 3:banana:

Rules for this and future rounds:

1. Do not talk about the books in this thread or any other thread. Do not talk to your wife about these books. Do not talk to your friends about these books. Do not talk to your dog about these books.

2. Four books will be posted. PM me all grades in the order they are listed. Use the template I provided to send the grades

3. Submit your grades in standard CGC recognized increments.

4. Due date for grades for this round is Wednesday, March 25st at 10:00p (EST) or when the last team submits its grades. All grade submissions are final.

5. No conditional grades will be accepted. Please ask questions to seek clarification before submitting grades.

6. The following is a list of things I will always disclose when posting the scans.
A. Any defects not clearly visible. (ie. NCB creases)
B. Moisture Stains not apparent on the scan.
C. Damage to a book which was not present at the time of grading.
D. Any damage/ scratches on the CGC case which may appear as flaws on the book.
 

7.  With double cover books, I am only looking for the grade of the outer cover. 
 

8. Your score will be tallied based on the sum of the points awarded for the grades assigned each book based on the chart below:

Spot on= 20 points
.2 or closer = 18 points
.5 or closer= 15 points
.7 or closer= 10 points
1 or closer = 7 points.
1.2 or closer= 5 points.
1.5 or closer= 2 points
2 or closer = 0 points
Over 2 grades off= Technical Foul -5 points


Bonus (cumulative):
2 books spot on= 5 points
3 books spot on=10 points


The Team with the highest score wins the game and advances. There will be an overtime book posted in the event of a tie.

Good Luck to everyone.

So now that we're down to 3 players, exactly how does this work?  Do I play against Warlord then the winner of that plays Azkaban?  Or do all 3 of us play and the overall winner is the one with the most points this round?  hm

I wanna take an opportunity to thank BUTM and Skao for always doing such a  great job with this game.😊

I second that emotion...very much appreciated!!  And while we wait for the Semi-Final round to conclude, BUTM please tell us, your penchant for double covers...what inspired it and your ability to acquire them?  Do you...

A) Hit the cons and start in one corner and check every box and every book while annoying the dealers opening each and every bag?

B) Along with (A) bring your minions with you and set them to work offering them a stack of moderns and lunch for the day?

C) Advertise on the dark web?

D) All of the above

Tentative grades chosen but not yet submitted.  :shy:

On a side note, the governor of Oklahoma just ordered all non-essential businesses to close for the next 3 weeks, starting at midnight tomorrow, in those counties which have positive coronavirus cases.  I admin the Oklahoma Comic Book Collecting Facebook group and just encouraged local shops to use our group to run comic sales and auctions during this downtime.

The first comic I bought off of the rack was X-Men #103.  Loved the book and continued buying X-Men off of the rack.

Got to X-Men #137 and the copy I bought off the rack had a double cover.  Stopped buying X-Men at #143 or so. 

Sold of my collection (as many of us did) before entering college.  Still looking for a double cover X-Men #137.   Can't find one.  Probably has something to do with it being a square bond book with the outer (extra) cover not being glued on. 

In the meantime, I started putting together a X-Men double cover collection; have about 40 to 50 X-Men double covers.  When those aren't available, I pickup other Marvel and DC double covers.
