I hear you there. I just got these two back today --- and I am very happy how they graded given the poor attention they were given by my grubby little hands over the decades. In all that time, this X-factor was the only double cover I got.

Nice. I have yet to see a double cover in person.

Grading on the Vintage side of my submission was MUCH harder than the Modern side. I can't help but wonder if the Vintage grader had just been told his wife was leaving him right before his shift and that the grader who evaluated the Modern submission just got engaged. hm

Both batches were from the same collection and graded similarly by me. The starkest difference was in page quality. Most of the Vintage came out OW/W, some even OW, while the Modern batch ALL came out with white pages. 

A Vintage example of a book I graded 8.5:

Not complaining of course, but I just wish I had the happy grader on the Vintage side...:wink:
