Just FYI, it seems 9.4 is the new 9.6/9.8....literally submitted perfect copies with no visible markings on the cover, great spines, cleaned and pressed, sharp corners...Looking at the scans, I'm still in awe about what exactly the graders saw...all 9.4's. The notes say unavailable. I've taken a long break from submissions so this was my first submission of a modern book in good long while. I normally collect golden age.
I compared these scans with other 9.8's on the big auction sites and my books literally look better.
When did the standards for modern books crank up to all time highs? Is this with the hiring of new graders? Help me understand and cope from this big time disappointment...
