    I think what you're saying is a given and we all understand that (I hope anyway) - OP is asking for opinions, and I think we're all aware they're just opinions. These type of threads do seem to crop up pretty often, but I don't think there is anything wrong with them. One that popped up in General a while back was asking which artists were 'garbage' and I think a number of people rightly had a bit of an issue with the wording used there.

    Art is subjective. Some people like renaissance art, street, modern, impressionist, etc.  clearly some of the artists being mentioned here have a fan following and have been around for years. 

    Not a fan of skottie young, but I get why he has fan base.

    Grades don't mean squat to me on commissions. For me I grade them to authenticate the artwork and signature and protect the book. Nothing more. I'd pay the same for this book at 7.5 as I would a 9.8. Amazing book tho man. I don't get jealous easy but i'm pretty green right now!

    Agree with you 100%. Its all about the artwork. The book can be 1.0 or NG for all I care. 

  3. There's no guarantees for 9.8 or 9.6. If the book(s) arrived less then NM condition, say a fold or a tear.. then I would contact for a replacement. But spine stress, color rub, or any other defect is luck of the game. If 9.8's were so easy to come by then there wouldn't be any demand.

     

    JSC's people are very good when it comes to taking care of their customers, but my advice would be not to contact them in this case.. 9.2 or higher is acceptable.

     

    Best option is join a 9.8 grading club or order a few copies and hope one is 9.8 worthy.
