Collectors and dealers, are you ready to test your grading mettle this summer? Classics Incorporated is proud to host the official 2010 CGC grading contest at San Diego Comic-Con, Wizard World Chicago, and New York Comic-Con. This is the only contest they will run this year, so participants from all three shows will be grading the same set of comics. The first chance to participate will be at the San Diego Comic-Con in two weeks. You can find Classics Incorporated at the Worldwide/Classics Incorporated booth #801,803,805,807.
The rules are easy: grade 21 comics in 21 minutes. The cost: nothing if you are currently a subscriber of GPAnalysis.com. GPAnalysis will cover the usual $10 entry fee for all members of their website, and will pay half of that fee for non-subscribers who participate. The goal is easy too: try to score as close to zero as possible!
The 21 comics are hand picked by Matt Nelson and will cover a range of grades, genres and companies. None of the books will exhibit restoration. After all participants have taken the test at each of the three shows, the 21 comics will be submitted to CGC for grading Sunday, October 10, 2010. The results of the contest will be announced about two weeks later, with only 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners announced. Each participant will have their own individual score and rank emailed to them... those results are kept confidential.
