2008/09 GRADING CONTEST : Round 11

86 posts in this topic

Results may be a little late tonight... Family emergency. :(

 

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone is OK :wishluck:

 

 

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, my wife's mother passed away this morning unexpectedly. She lived a long life though, and saw and experienced a great part of the past century. (thumbs u

Why so low nik ?? what were the grader notes ??

 

The 2 light bends bottom of spine.

 

Pressing candidate without a doubt.

 

I could see those, but I droped it to a 9.0 because It looks like there are fingerprints on the bc also.

Man, I missed those - thought it was a 9.6 for sure - and swung for the fences with the lone 9.9 - figuring if I was right, I'd be one of the few at best, and gain a few places in the rankings. I hate grading scans with white spines :frustrated:

 

Still, even with those little spine bends it looks nicer than some 9.4 scans I've seen.

Condolences to you and your wife Shin...although it sounds like your mother-in-law had a good run...

This, of course, is illustrative of why we should all be buying 9.2's instead of 9.8's :grin::sumo:
