If you guys honestly believe that if I submit your books you will receive a higher graded, by all means, send them too me. I charge $3 a book and no guarantee :acclaim:

Dude, how does that book get a 9.6 with a color breaking ding at the top of the book?

 

Is it the scanner that makes it look that way?

 

I forgot to vote last night (cause I was busy with a street fight) but I was going to say 9.4 with a Nik bump. Wow.

I don't think there is such a thing as a Nik bump. But I do think:

 

1) Scans, and especially large scans, overemphasize defects.

2) Nik deliberately picks the challenging ones.

3) Most of us on these boards are insecure about our grading, and we compensate by being overly conservative.

I love how you off-handedly remark that you missed sending in your guess because you were busy with a street fight... lol

 

Hope no one was hurt, Ponyboy!
