The 2010 Nik Memorial Grading Contest *Round 23*

Bombed this one. :) Had myself convinced that there were some faint stain areas on the back cover? If this graded 8.5, I guess either they couldn't have been there, or if they were there they were extremly minimal. Ah well!

I made that mistake in round 22. I gave it a 6.5 :tonofbricks:

I guessed 7.5. In addition to some little bitty blotches at the top of the back cover, the LLC of the back had what might have been a "tide line" about an inch from the corner. I guess there wasn't much there? I remember it being quite noticeable when I viewed it on my office screen, but I can barely see it at all on my home screen. This was probably a good candidate for "better to just grade it quickly and submit than to wait and overthink it".
