2008/09 GRADING CONTEST : Round 11

[Designer Toast]

 

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

 

Just made it through most of this thread and saw your post. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

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

 

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone is OK

Hope everything goes as smooth as it can go in this situation.

Ugh.

 

My screen sucks at whites covers (front or back).

I messed up the other white cover with a -1 too.

I've undergraded a lot and tend to see defects that aren't so bad, so I ignored the bends and the spot towards the left and bumped my grade up. I think this has been my poorest showing in a grading contest yet.

 

 

 

 

Shin - sorry to hear the news. My condolences. Take care.

How i guessed 9.2:

 

I was not sure of the creases on the back cover, so, as my first guess was " the grade should be somewhere between 8.5 & 9.6, depending on the creases", i went with 9.2
