VALPARAISO SPIDEY 55 9.8................SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrWatson]

I've always thought of thumb dents/ finger dents to be the very light crescent shaped dents in the covers that come from to much pressure or weight being placed on the free side of a cover when held in hand. Some books may have one, some books are littered with them.

 

next time you should just wait to see if i've already addressed the subject. would save you some writing time.

 

 

 

 

 

I only read COI's posts.

It's very hard to ignore Sal's posts when you keep quoting him.

 

It's also useless for me to have The_Question? on ignore when everyone quotes him all the time.

Who's The_Question?

I don't think people are saying that CGC or OS does not allow a Color breaking spine tick per book to achieve 9.8 status. I think people are saying they shouldn’t.

 

No, you're saying they shouldn't.

 

But seeing that you're not a grading authority (unlike CGC and OS, I might add), which defects you think should and shouldn't be allowed in a grade is irrelevant, and has zero bearing on the actual grade of the book.

I don't like seeing color breaking spine ticks on 9.8 books, but I have seen several that have them. That is why I no longer buy CGC books sight unseen. This also why when I find a 9.6 CGC book that doesn't have one, I buy it.

you shouldn't turn from your betters like that. it makes it more difficult for you to improve yourself without adequate exemplars to follow

[fantastic_four]

I'd like to hear more, please?

 

 

Do a forum search on "procrustean" between now and 8 years ago and you'll find a lot.

Yes I am 100% saying they should not a give any book a 9.8 with one spine tick.

 

I guess I am on of the few that believe a 9.8 should mean 9. freakin 8.

 

OS is out dated by the way....

I like my 9.6s to look like 10.0s.

Well, then you are gonna have to have that thumb dent pressed out. (thumbs u

[NewWorldOrder]

I think these two books look awesome together.

 

A Canadian and American joining forces.

 

 

 

 

[ChasingKingKirby]

Now are we talking about a CGC 9.8 or an MLMeade 9.8?

 

 

All I want is one that is consistent with the rest of the 9.8s I see. Is that too much to ask.

[COI]

So what are you waiting for? Do you need my address again?

Told your arse to send me the book.

I guess I am on of the few that believe a 9.8 should mean 9. freakin 8.

 

OS is out dated by the way....

 

 

If you want a book without any spine ticks at all, buy a 9.9 or a 10.0.

9.8 doesn't mean "mint".

[RockMyAmadeus]

If so, you are more likely to fart twelve quatrains of Shakespeare than for that to happen.

 

I tried doing that, and only got up to 7.

 

Not enough beans and brocolli, I suppose.

Nope, I will just find alot of 9.6's w/o them.

 

Maybe CGC should have a promotion called:

 

Loose Grading Weekend Bash, and use the ASM 55 as an example to promote the submission sale.
