Grading coins from Pics Round 6

I'm really suprised those guys didn't contribute to this round. They were all so good. Ikes and Hamm especially.

With four out, the next round(s) may turn over quicker.

 

I'm surprised too. And yes they were really good graders. I wonder what happened to em. Kinda strange they would just stop being in the group and contest like that. Anyway, hope all is well with them.

 

I will now have to take over as the snail. I dedicate the next round to my fellow Gastropods. I will keep the tradition alive. I will not forget my fallen comrades. This rounds for you.

 

How many rounds again?

 

There are 10 rounds.

 

Round 6 Slabs

Ok sorry for the delay, had a work thing I had to go to. Boring, but free food..
So here are the actual grades given by the Tpgs.
I still have a hard time understanding the 65 on this one.

This one I feel is pretty accurately graded, too many marks for a higher grade IMO

And my 1940 set pride and joy. Pretty much a mark free coin, but the toning really affects eye appeal for some. I figure the toning is what caused most of you to undergrade this one.

Thanks again everyone for playing. And yep we lost a few. I will post the link to round 7 asap.

 

Hey Green, didn't I read earlier that you were buying the alcohol for this round!

 

Here is the link to Round 7

 

who's winning and losing?

 

Yup. It's always 5:00 somewhere........

 

And here they are:

OMG DISASTER coming out of turn 2 and into the backside straightaway.... Appears that one of our leaders going into turn 2 slammed on his brakes forcing a brutal bump draft that proprelled him way into the front of the pack on the backside,,, the inappropriate drafting practice pushed CAR number HAM into a tailspin,, clipping 3 other cars and putting them all into the wall,,, all 4 drivers were ejected from thier cars and into the crowd.... luckily all drivers landed on in the cheerleading section and now appear to be breastfeeding and mending fine... WHO WAS THAT CRAZY DRIVER !!

Smoke clears, the pack realigns under yellow and we see now that the culprit was in fact....

... RAIDER !! Well I knew turn 2 would be interesting, and who else but RAIDER,, should have known,,,, we've seen this kind of dirty pool from him before. Question now becomes, will the pack simply tuck tail and allow this type of behavior again,,, will we all meekly line up behind him and allow him to once again take the checkered flag with no one challenging him for the remainder of the race ?

Guess all we can do is get through the backside and see how we line back up into turn 3... All I can say is "what brake peddle.."

Group average improved this round !!
1.07 to .91 this round... although most scores went up. If your score went down this round you did very well !!

Down to 24 players: 4 drivers :hail:bye-bye......
Eye - .71
Hamm - .71
Ikes - .79
Wled - .93
.................... good cars and drivers... but there's always another race.

EXACTA's > RAIDER !! ,, oh the shame of it.:devil:

Now - THE LEADER BOARD

1 ) The most honorable HORSES A#*.. - Still holding the rein's, and trudging along behind the mule and through it's droppings .....
.... CAMLOV2 (avg. score = 1.47)... you could have dropped this honor easily had you not gone 64 on a 67 coin.. heck, you had 2 EXACTA's.

2 ) EXACTA's: only one on the backside.
RAIDER - with 9 !!

3 ) BEST GRADER (avg score): RAIDER.... at .47
