Man, this round had even tougher choices.

jedimarley · Post by **jedimarley** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:11:55 pm

No upsets yet.
Though I would have liked to see EW Gold go up agianst EW Gold Embossed.

EW Gold against X-O gold was a very tough choice for me. I had to go with the X-O.

jedimarley · Post by **jedimarley** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:20:25 pm

X-O gold is a awsome cover, but EW gold is one of the first golds.
You have to go EW gold....

Me too. EW Gold was a great cover, but the X-O Gold edges it out by a hair.

Hard to beat either of the Reds. I personally like the Unity Red best.

Some real seal clubbings on that half of the bracket.

I was surprised to see some choose the CEOG over the Harb pink.

Who ever voted against Harby Pink must not have one.

dave · Post by **dave** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 12:09:53 pm

i usually voted for all the issues that i don't have...i figure even a schmuck like me has that issue-the other one must be more rare...

i contacted my bookie, and he says you have to bet $100 on either of the reds to win $10...i laid down a G on magnus 0 with card...that's why i just voted for it 45 times.

There are some guys in Aruba who will give you a better line.

dave · Post by **dave** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 2:16:05 pm

hey greg, is there a way to prevent someone from voting mulitiple times? i mean it would be obvious if every other book had 40 votes and one had 137...but if someone was dorky enough they could go through and revote several times, and shave points. i stand to lose $1000, so i want to make sure this thing's legit. i'm still angry about jerome bettis losing me all that money by switching his coin toss call in super bowl 30.

dino · Post by **dino** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 3:00:36 pm

$1000? details pls

Is there even a way to vote twice? When I click back on the individual voting catagories all I see are the results of each poll.

soundoftheuniverse · Sat Mar 12, 2005 3:53:09 pm

No you can only vote once.

I had to go with EW Embossed over XO Gold. Although Harbie 4 is a great cover my wife likes the Rai story more and cast her VETO so Rai 5 won out.

dave · Post by **dave** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 4:26:10 pm

i don't know why people like the harby 4 cover-i've never been very taken by it. i know greg likes it. the rai 5 cover is far more dramatic to me. but i AM biased. rai got me REALLY into valiant. did i mention he was my favorite? i'm going to get you depluto!

dino · Post by **dino** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 7:51:19 pm

harby 4 is a great cover, it shows so much by showing so little, if you're reading the story for the first time your heart skips a beat, the colours are fantastic and it was a damn hard book to find. In my experience whenever i see a cover printed in magazines but cant find one in stores the cover is just that much more special to me (rai 3 and 4 are great examples)

having said all this i think rai 5 has a better cover. That one is a 10 our of 10 for me.

dave · Post by **dave** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 8:50:34 pm

don't get me wrong-i don't dislike the harby 4-the colours are really neat-it is one of the best covers i've seen for portraying a "mood". but in this round it's going up against one that sets a mood even better, and nothing about the harby four really does anything for me outside of that mood.
i know it was a difficult issue to find-but i was never looking for one back then-rai and harbinger were way out of my league back then, and once i got the tpb-i was fine...til i found this site...but by then i was able to find any issue for a much better price!

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 9:35:10 am

Wow, I was just looking at some of the results again. I was surprised to see Rai #21 V.V.S.S. beating out Magnus #0 without card. Both are awesome covers, but I thought for sure Magnus would be winning this one.

Sinca Magnus with card is there I didnt vote for the none card version.

What do you mean voting twice? Like if I stayed up late one night and created a ton of shills and voted harby 1 outta the contest? I wonder what greg would do if that happened...I would have to be very sneaky about it...but would he show favor to the harby 1 folks?
