Nice one! That's what we call "buying for the book, not the grade"! How that didn't get at least an 8 beats me.

That's the only way to go....especially for the tiers that are separated by a full .5. Steve Borock was talking with me at a show once and agreed that some of the greatest disparity ( and deals) were found in the 8.5 grade....with many books not quite making 9.0...but still markedly nicer than 8.5. GOD BLESS...

P.S. Considering the amount of money that comes in to play...there really should have been an 8.75 grade (shrug)

Agreed and Steve makes a great point. I absolutely enjoy buying 8.5's and they have become the sweet spot for my collection. They allow me the best of both worlds - nice eye appeal at a generally good price.
