I had a bug in my eye! There was a smudge on my screen!! I .. I... but, hormones!!!! Hahahhahahahaha??? - I will wait for the rankings before bashing myself further ? but daymn!

It's on @jgallo! ?

Guesses sent ♡♡

Thought I thanked 3greenham but apparently I never posted it Got the Moon Girl Romance and LOVE IT! Thank you!!! ♡♡

Ok ♡ thanks!

I was wondering the same thing :-)

Thanks everyone for the congratulations! I'm not used to being able to only like 10 posts a day

No secret just been grading books for a long time and have invested a lot of time in trying to know what something would grade at (through CGC anyway... still havent nailed down voldy's style completely.) While I am not very active on the boards as far as chatting is concerned, I do watch you guys a lot and am pretty active on other forums (I am under "Love, Anna" on other things ♡ switched it up here when I made the acct. ... no idea why.) I love books, esp GA, and have a decent sized collection. I learned early on that you have to be better at knowing what you are looking at ( ie condition/resto/etc) than the person you are buying from to get the best deal. Plus, all my friends are nerds, mostly guys, and being pretty good at this is a fun party trick

That's right! Wasn't there some sort of secret bounty? ;)

Congrats to you too! Very close! I am glad it wasn't based on resto spotting because I thought the SF looked trimmed

Great game guys!

You too!!!

AWESOME! Still time for someone to add a nice fat Sephora gift card to the prize pool

My grades are in!! Regardless of who gets it this round, I just wanted to say thank you for having it! This was a whole lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again ( would have been a little bit more fun if Toro took me up on the dress wager :-) OH WELL, maybe next time :-))

Hahahaha! - funny guys! Sorry, got hung up at the day job (no, not a CGC nor CBCS employee! My day job is true to my secret identity.) OK, OK... you can stop the heart palpitations 3GH... putting my grades in now :-)

Was totally torn between 8.0 and 8.5!

Good luck to you too Toro!! This OT book was a complete coin flip for me so comfort level isn't as solid as prior rounds :-) either way this has been very fun!

Wow! Toro! Looks like technically we both should wear the dress Okay, let me wake up a little bit so I don't screw this up with morning vision :-) I'll try to get the grade in soon though.

Good luck! ♡

Same here. Submitted but definitely nervous about at least one!

Aww thanks!!

Dude... you wore the same dress I picked! Not sure if you know this... but that is so NOT COOL! (♡ -side wager... next round... loser shows pic in a/the dress ;)... do you accept?)

He was probably being nice to me because the rankings had not yet come out. The reason I thought it was much lower is that there was magic marker on the cover that I thought for sure would count against it. Also, I compared it to the 6.0 copy on eBay and the ebay copy just presented way better than this copy even with the stain on the back cover. I knew the printing defect didn't count, but, I still thought it did not present as well as the 6.0.
