No commentary right now but I invite you to write your own!

 

(Colors may look off as I'm using an older version of Excel on a tiny notebook.)

AJD nails another one to maintain a sniff at a top ten place...

 

... and continues to kick himself for taking a punt on 9.9 a few rounds back. :makepoint:

I truly thought there was a sub crease on the back cover,the lower right corner of the front cover looks to be completely rounded.My 8.5 needs to be regraded because it's much prettier than this pile. :frustrated:

 

I agree 100%.

My 9.0 copy blows this one out of the water.

I will certainly re-sub it now.

 

By the way, I went with 8.5 on this one even thought I knew they way these books have been getting great grades it would be a 9.0 or even shudder, a 9.2.

I am mad about the 9.0 grade but would have blown a gasket if it had come back 9.2.

Damn, that lower right corner looked way too round for a 9

 

I thought the corner was chewed or chipped. Must have been a scanner illusion and/or mental malfunction on my part. :frustrated:

No front and back show the same damage,if this was my book raw I would grade it a 6.5

Yep, I am in the boat with you guys...I also blew this one I said 7.0. Shocked it got a 9.0....but more shocking is that so many people said it was a 9.0... :o

I guess thats the difference from the people who actually look at the book and the data miners,because nobody in their right mind would buy this book as a 9.0 raw. :eyeroll:

I thought I went out on a limb and said CGC called it 9.0. Evidently it was a thick limb as 32 others went with that too.

 

Hey Oakman, I too thought for awhile that the back showed a subscription crease . But after not finding much other evidence of it in other obvious spots I had to think it was just color rub in that area (But it made it look like a sub crease). I was thinking if it turned out that it was a sub crease it was going to grade in the 6.5 to 7 range and I was going to get a -1. I lucked out on this one.

I just find it extremely coincidental that 32 people had graded this book a 9.0 Bullseye! (thumbs u and that people are getting bullseyes 5 and 6 in a row? JC can be a little extreme at times,but I really am with him on this one. meh
