Reassessing Gerber "8" Designation - Frankenstein #21

There has been much discussion in these threads about re-evaluating Gerber scarcity designations. Obviously 1989, when Gerber published his books, and 2008 are vastly different times, particularly due to the evolution of the Internet.

 

I, and others, are going to make a concerted effort to reassess the ratings and see how they have held up over the years. Once I compile all the information I will, at some later date, publish it in one compendium.

 

In separate threads I will list a specific book and solicit information about that book only. Please keep your postings to the specific book at issue.

 

If you own a copy of the book, please either indicate so or - even better - post an image of it.

 

If you know of a copy for sale somewhere, please indicate that as well.

 

If you know of someone who owns a copy, or can offer some observations on how often you have seen a copy in either someone's collection or for sale, please do contribute that information.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!! (thumbs u

 

In this thread we are exploring a book that many seem to perceive as a Gerber "8" aberration:

I presently own a good copy. Complete but with a missing 1 inch piece off the front cover corner. I will say this. I specialize in collecting Gerber 6, 7, 8's and 9's, and was happy when I found this copy. However, I have since seen several copies on Ebay for sale.

 

My opinion is that, at best, this issue is a Gerber 7 and more probably a Gerber 6.

I can probably help you with info on many Gerber 8's, as well as 7's.
