Curses - 9.8 was the obvious answer, but I honestly couldn't see a flaw, and there were no disclosed 'invisible on the scan flaws' so I took a punt on 9.9 in the hope of catching up a couple of points on the leaders.

 

That'll learn me. :tonofbricks:

 

Me too, thought they were throwing a curveball at us :censored:

Passed ya! :baiting:

 

At least for now...

 

As previously mentioned, went with the probabalistic outcome here which had to be 9.8...I haven't submitted many 9.8s but the one's I have, and/or still own, are virtually flawless and certainly worthy of 9.9 consideration if not perhaps 10.0 on rare occasion. But I have never gotten a 9.9...flawless books as a rule get graded 9.8... 2c

Nik told me once that he was still waiting for the elusive 9.9. That is why I couldn't pick 9.9 (even if it was).
