    I think an 8.0 is within the realm of possibilities with a good C&P
  2. Lninefingers
    6.5/7.0
  3. Lninefingers
    I top out around 6.0. Doesn't look detached to me, but they're going to hammer you for the staple tears.

    Pretty nice copy. Biggest issues are the yellowing/grime along the spine, and the chipping along the top edge. Sits nice and flat, staples nice and tight, clean interior (none of the writing that can plague these things). Presents somewhat whiter than the pictures would lead you to believe - maybe it was the lighting. thanks for looking

    With a good clean and press, I think this is 8.5
  6. Lninefingers
    I'll be the optimist in the group and say 8.0
  7. Lninefingers
    2.0 ish
  8. Lninefingers
    3.0 ish
  9. Lninefingers
    8ish for me

    As predicted, I'm killing myself over Punch #10 I initially wanted to go 5.0 because of how it presented, but because of the size of the corner out being more than 1/2", I busted it down to a 3.5. Should have just gone with my gut. At any rate, I still had an awesome time and posted my best showing in the contest ever with an aggregate score of 20. Thanks, @CGC Mike

    8.5ish for me

    Grades submitted. Went with head over heart on one of them, and am already getting unreasonably upset for when it comes back a big miss.

    Just a spine tick. Looks very pressable to me.

    5.0/5.5 IMO I wouldn't invest the extra money in slabbing unless you like the look for display purposes.

    Recent pickup. Thoughts are appreciated.

    I over graded all 5 books….oof.
  17. Lninefingers
    Consider yourself lucky. My experience with grades where they identify a stain is WAY worse.

    9ish very jealous

    7.5/8.0

    Zooming way in, I see a couple of tiny corner issues (rear lower left) and a handful of tiny color breaking ticks. I think you come in at 9.2-9.4, although I'm dying to push higher. It's a beautiful book
  21. Lninefingers
    9.4ish
  22. Lninefingers
    >=9.0 beautiful book
  23. Lninefingers
    7 ish
  24. Lninefingers
    7.5 ish

    Grades in. Did my typical "make guesses, wait for a couple days to forget, make guesses again and compare" strategy. I don't think I've ever had my initial guesses and 2nd guesses be so far apart. Not looking forward to the reveal on this round...
