Hi everyone!

So I have officially been bitten by the CGC bug. In addition, I also felt that these forums needed a contest so let’s have one!

I am not trying to compete with other great contests run here. If anything I want to give back and offer one as thanks for those who always do run contests and holiday exchanges and what not!

So what is the contest? Well it will be a grading contest but as I am first and foremost a dad, this contest may not be as quick as ones you are used to. But I am going to do one. And here is how it will shake down.

Phase 1: Helping Me Decide!

That is what this thread is for! From now until April 30th, I want your help picking the books to send. I want you to pick ten modern books and three from what I will dub the “big boys” section. I will be providing a list to choose from and all you have to do is reply to this thread with your picks! I will reveal the books going in during the first week of May!

Phase 2: The Grading Contest

This will come later, likely during the summer. I will post pictures of the books and those wishing to officially partake in the contest can submit their grades for the books. There will also be prizes. We can have people donate and if no one does I will offer up a grand prize or something. We can figure that out. There will only be 13 books going in so we there will be a tie breakers in place.

Phase 3: The Reveal and Prize Picking

During the final phase, I will do a reveal video where I (along with you at your convenience) can see the grades. I will then tally results and we will announce prize picking orders. If we do this, I may need help having someone organize and new track of who picks what, provided it is decided that people want to donate prizes. Otherwise I will have a couple prizes for the top 3 winners who are the most accurate graders.

 

So hopefully you all are up for a contest. To get the ball rolling let us start Phase 1!!!!

From the following list, pick the ten books you would like to see submitted!

1. Thor 337

2. GI Joe 21 (Canadian Price Variant)

3. Avengers Annual 10

4. Predator 1 (first Dark Horse app)

5. Usagi Yojimbo 1

6. ASM 210

7. Hulk 449

8. Sheena Queen Of The Jungle 3-D (double cover)

9. Ms Marvel 12 (double cover)

10. Batman 635

11. TMNT 4 (second print)

12. She Hulk 1

13. Marvel Spotlight 28

14. Avengers 196

15. Secret Wars 8 (origin black Spidey costume)

16. Daredevil 9 (first Echo)

17. X-Men 96

18. X-Men 129

19. X-Men 130

20. Moon Knight 1 (1980s series)

 

Finally from the 7 listed below (the big boys category), pick the 3 you would like to see graded!

1. ASM Annual 1

2. ASM 129

3. Fantastic Four 49

4. Fantastic Four 6

5. Captain America 117

6. Terrors Of The Jungle 17 (LB Cole cover)

7. Marvel Preview 7

An update!

Currently, X-Men 129 seems a sure fire send in! As does ASM Annual 1! But still lots of time for people to get votes in and shake things up!

To help diversify the grades, I have 2 books that are MYSTERYYYYY BOOOOOKKKSSS!

image.jpeg.3eac1961f282a91410fca826bd9c87c9.jpeg

First book has a unique flaw that should cause much debate, debauchery and discussion as to where it might grade. The

interestingly odd second book has some  funky fresh flaws itself AND will be the book I enter as part of the prize. Again, we

shall iron out the details eventually about whether we should all do a "submit a prize" or not. 

That's all for now! Oh and consider this a HINT at what the one of the two mystery books are...

....and the hints will come into playyyy with the contest!
