    9.0 or 9.2. Not sure a pressing will give a better grade because of spine stress that breaks colour. It is a bit large for a 9.4 isn't?

    That LOOKS like a spine tick but it's part of the cover art. If you check out 9.8 copies of the 1st or 2nd print online they all have that and it's 100% smooth to the touch. It's printed. But it bothers me every time I see it on this cover, it's terrible lol

    Very nice!

    I think the key (or at least for me when sending books) is all the edges. This copy had a flawless spine, top and bottom edge and corners both font and back. No bends, or wear really visible. I guessed 9.4-9.6 before scrolling down but a 9.8 make sense here...the only thing I thought I saw was some discoloration spots on the bottom staple (not sure if thats the case at all). 

    I did have this book pressed and cleaned to ensure the 9.8 but I was pretty sure this had at least a shot at 9.6+. I bought a few hundred books from this seller and a solid hundred of them are NM+. I'll get around to posting some of the other annuals that came in this $40 lot later. Need to go through this guy's other Ebay listings sometime today lol
