that's kinda nasty

I raise you an 8.0 and call.

on the bug chew but 8.5 as is if it is considered a production flaw.

I can see a 6.5 here. No major creasing and the spine is not too bad. A bit of a stacking curl too. It would C&P up to at least a 7.0 I would think.

I can see a 9.0 here. Seems to be a bit of a color rub up in the DC logo too.

Mis-wrap keeps it from going higher than a 9.4 to me. Not seeing too much else wrong.

Too many spine ticks to go higher than a 8.5 for me but could press up higher.

Agreed

Easy 9.2. Nice book.

I'm down with a 9.0 that has potential for improvement.

7.5/8.0 depending on what's going on with that top staple.

Wow! I always try and form my own opinion of the book before I scroll down to others comments and thought 7.5 myself. Lol, who pressed it and can I have their contact info?

I can relate, tis my absolute favorite book of all time. Such an iconic story and one that will hopefully never be retconed.

and the title is probably stupid too. Sometimes I think I'm funnier than I am. Meant as a reference to a shell game where you never know where the pea is.

Lol, the intent of this thread is not clear. Not meaning to stir the pot just sincerely curious. If it gets me a little harassment, I can take it. I'm a big boy. No, not saying Stu was guilty of anything like that. He was banned for something, I just really don't know what.

My 2cents here. You come across as very combative, with a my way or the highway vision of your opinions. You don't seem receptive to differing opinions and unwilling to learn from others here who have incredible amounts of knowledge about the hobby. I learn new things here every day and consider myself a better collector for it. I've had my battles with a few on here over the years, that will happen. We've had minimal interactions so far and I have nothing against you yet Take it for it's worth or don't...

Truth ^

Let me clarify, not looking to know who is currently on the boards. More so, is it people like DD, Stu, Dylan etc...? How do some people know the difference of who is hiding behind the keyboard? I can make my own assumptions from there.

So obviously lot's of shills here. I've read old threads about aggressive posts, writing styles, HOS/probies etc... Without calling anyone out, can anyone provide a list of the likely candidates that can't seem to let life on the boards go? Feel free to PM me if that's easier.

Have it your way, continue to not come to a resolution and forever be know as the DD shill (whether or not it is true) and become an outcast on the boards. The questioning will never stop until you provide proof, confess, or slink away and work on a new identity.

Lol, nice try but no. If we had done any business or emailed or whatever I could certainly say that the name I mailed the xxxx to was not DD. Pretty straightforward no?

I would like your post if I could

So not one person on this site that he can trust, never bought nor sold, no one to vouch for him, and no PMs or the like? Somethin' stinks....
