Predict the grades? $20 for "closest to the pin" guess

[Snowman]

I think I'm ineligible now, but I'll still post for fun.

51 Bowman Doby - 5
57 Topps Lemon - 5.5
80 Topps Henderson - 8
60 Topps Kaat - 7
51 Redback Kiner - 7.5
48 Leaf Kiner - 4
58 Topps AS Musial - 6
93 Topps Jeter - 9
62 Topps Billy Williams - 5

Just got word that my SGC grades are in... and the averages of all submissions were pretty close in some cases, and over quite a bit on a couple.

(Drum Roll please...)



Guess Avg/SGC Actual
51 Bowman Doby 5.1/5.0
57 Topps Lemon 6.5/5.5
80 Topps Henderson 8.1/8.0
60 Topps Kaat 6.5/5.0
51 Redback Kiner 6.7/5.0
48 Leaf Kiner 4.1/3.0
58 Topps AS Musial 6.4/6.5
93 Topps Jeter 8.7/8.5
62 Topps B Williams 4.9/5.0

So, looks like our little crowd-sourcing Net54 grading experiment yielded

Nailed it! - Doby, Henderson, Musial, Jeter and Williams

Respectable - Lemon, Leaf Kiner,

Come ON SGC! - Kaat, Redback Kiner


(I'll be back later with how we can figure out who wins the $20 "closest to the pin" guess the grade... I'll probably ask each submitter to calculate their own points - see value at the original post - and I'll double check the math of the self-reported winner. Sound like a fun way to spend a Friday night??)

Fun experiment - thanks to all who played along!

This reminds me when my mother in law would be watching the Red Sox and see the replay of the HR that was just hit and would start to yell, “Oh my god! They just hit another one!”

(But thx for playing anyway, Brian… your submission is just a touch late!)

I put mine in as well....I did not see the grades and had no idea they were posted. I am an above average grader and could honestly be working for any of these grading companies, but I can't afford the pay cut.

Looks like I got 525 points. Fun game, thanks for posting.

It looks like I am the likely winner...each one of my guesses had bullseye accuracy. Maybe there is a spot for me at one of the grading companies. Perhaps in the post-grading label checking department.
