I'd call it an 8.5.

I don't know if CGC hacks books on "dirty" back covers as I know they're from the printing process and/or stack rub. But I'm thinking this is a nice VF/NM 9.0.

[Boozad]

8.5, leaning 9.0.

[slym2none]

Of course, the scanner makes that "dirt" look worse than it is...

A nice 9.0. Wonderbread to a higher grade perhaps?

8.5/9.0

[mysterymachine]

8.5

[MagnetoWasRight]

9.0

[Calamerica]

excessive dirt back cover = 7.5.

Well, time to let this cat out of it's bag - I said months back I was going to do this. This is the CGC copy I cracked out of the slab as I totally did not agree with the grade they gave it. CAL was the closest to CGC grade, and that was due to the "soiling" on the back cover looking 10x worse than it really is due to the scanner. Here's the label out of the slab:

 

 

As do most of you, I think this book is in the 8.5-9.0 range, and I'd bet if I re-submitted it, it would come back higher than the original 7.0 - I have called for grader's notes and have thoroughly looked the book over and can find nothing wrong to bring it down to a 7.0...

 

 

 

 

-slym (got this book cheap...)

 

 

[LloydJBailey]

that!

 

That isn't a 7.0.

I don't think dirt counts for the condition as such, it looked pretty intact.

At LEAST an 8.0, but I feel it doesn't even deserve that, an 8.5 - 9.0 would be more realistic.

 

It seems like you had a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point grade it.

[slym2none]

Oh, I bought this graded at 7.0 for even less than raw 7.0 prices. Heck, my first and only submission was December of last year!

I guess this wasn't as interesting as I thought.

[zuckuss2003]

Oh, I found it interesting, I surely would have graded it at an 8.5

[JWKyle]

One thing I find interesting is it has the insert but no star on the price. Nice book by the way. Is it just me or insert books seem to not be has well preserved (maybe because the service people read their books and moved around alot ? I would say it is worth regrading and 8.5 sounds about right.

[slym2none]

Thanks, fellas...

Do not encapsulate.

[slym2none]

Do not encapsulate.

 

Oh, this one is staying raw in the collection - I have no intent on re-subbing it. I also have no intent on claiming it is a 7.0-FN/VF.
