For you scanophiles, I post the mega-scans:

$20.

Is that how much a 9.4 goes for?!?!?

[deathlok]

If diva had posted a scan of a 9.4 book I would have offered $45.

I spit on 9.4's

$20 still.

How sharp are the top and bottom right corners in-hand? I think the JPEG compression is making them appear slightly rounded. Sure is gorgeous. I don't see anything that would prohibit 9.4. Could be a 9.6, but I dunno.

 

I won't tell anyone if you want to straighten out that top edge if ya know what I mean.

You mean you think that upper staple stress is worthy of NM grade?

 

At best this is a 8.0 book.

[jimm94]

Could be. The scan is much larger than actual size. I think it's making the stresses look larger and more severe than they actually are.

That's what I figure... besides, with the grades that I've seen given on CGC'ed books lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one hit a 9.6.

[deathlok]

Yeah, maybe 8.0 is a little harsh, but not in the NM range though.

[garthgantu]

I agree there's a bit too much going on w/the top staple, plus the corner blunting...

What's with the line thru the top of the "D" in "Deathlok"? Is that just scanner artifacting or a production crease? Assuming yes, I'd say this is a NM- 9.2 book.

I think it's 9.0/9.2.

This is the funniest post I've ever read!

That one almost looks better than the other copy. Both for $30. Final offer.
