No worries :) It's understandable that life can drag a person away from free time..Hopefully it'll ease up though :D Also thanks for the rotation!

[quote][b]Set 0ne (8/3/2008)[/b][hr]Got this stickied so it's easy to see and hopefully will attract more to play :hehe:

:hmmmm:[/quote]

Thanks Set :)

I'm back after a mini sabatical so I think we should have a show of hands to see who is still in or who wants to join in. Once I have a count I will post a rotation.

To recap what this thread is about.

I find it really hard sometimes to objectively grade my own books. Since it's not possible to invite most of you over to have a couple of beers and help me grade my comics I figured I would start a thread that will let anyone pick a comic at random and spot check the grading.

Anyone can play. All you need is comics and a way to post the pictures on the web. I set a rotation and the person who posts the last comic for grading gets to randomly select the next persons comic they want to see posted and the grade that is assigned to it. You don't have to be a free or premium member but if you are you can post a link to your collection or simply list a handful of comics and their grades to choose from.

We work our way through the rotation, rinse, lather, and repeat. I try to randomize it a bit each time through so you aren't picking the same persons comics. Real simple and no presure to change the grade if you disagree, after all they are your comics.

Love to see more people join in, speak up if you are still in or interested in joining.

i see more rips in it...my god i want to throw the book away now...urrgghh! (I won't really) I'll take some photos to show what i mean cause the rips are kinda strange.

RE: Grading Sanity Check

batfan — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:53:16 GMT

probably about 3.0 with the rip.

RE: Grading Sanity Check

kamboy — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:04:24 GMT

looked good but rip? 6pgs ? i'd take it down to 4.0 maybe 3.5 that's a big rip..i can't wait till i get my new scanner...then i can play this too!

This freaking book has a lovely HUGE rip in the middle of the book and it spreads across 6 pages :angry: This would knock the grade down from a 5.0 to a 4.5 wouldn't it?

RE: Grading Sanity Check

Universal Soldiers — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:36:55 GMT

All right, I will get back on this ASAP. I'll pick a book from someone shortly and then post the latest rotation.

This thread is struggling a bit and we seem to have lost a few players. Hopefully due to some summer vacations and the like. I know my activity has slowed a bit this past month because of real life stuff. I'll do my best to keep it moving.

I got myself a freelance Web site job, and I work pretty much day and night. It's a bummer but it means a nice bit of extra loot I can spend at the LCS & ebay.

RE: Grading Sanity Check

Speedy-D — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:44:40 GMT

I'd give it a 5.0 - 5.5. Super bummer about the subscription crease, it'd be a lot higher without it.

RE: Grading Sanity Check

marmat — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 04:48:39 GMT

I agreed with 5.0

RE: Grading Sanity Check

Universal Soldiers — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:06:03 GMT

4.0 -4.5, looks like that center crease is all the way through to the back cover.
