Those indents on the BC are a little funky, but I'm cutting it some slack, as it's a giant-sizer.

 

 

 

All very nice books!

9.4 seems slightly generous, but i agree, sharp looking book.

Nice pick ups Dan.

9.2 on account of the BC indents, although I'm thinking my copy has similar issues that might mean PQ problems

9.6 which is also what I had as a grade.

I did good with yours.

3.5 out of 4 points.

 

You had nice scans. That helps a lot with us old folks.

All that stuff is excess glue or staple bulge.

100% production defect.

I would call it a 9.2 myself, but it's CGCs rules so I went with 9.6 and hit it.

 

9.6 is the highest grade for significant production defects.

I haven't seen a 9.8 in person, but I can't imagine a book without the staples pushing through. Is that what you need to have in order to get a 9.8?

 

Thanks.

From what I've heard only the smallest production defects are allowed in 9.8.

I didn't know these three words could be in the same sentence: 9.6, significant, defects.

Me either...

I got a ASM 140 graded at 9.6 with significant ink transfer. The white cover was 25% light pink front and back.

Some people just buy the label so I was a happy seller.

My copy of 137 looked exactly like yours. it had the same staple issue on the back cover and they gave it a 9.8. So based on my experience with that book a 9.8. In all reality though their consitency is not that great on a borderline book like yours. When I submitted mine I expected a 9.6, and was very pleased when it came back 9.8.
