Mixed up my photos. Meant to show this one.

Thanks for posting both!

I am trying to get a sense of grading above 9 so looked at the grader's notes for these two copies.

The 9.2 copy has:

light creasing to cover
light spine stress lines to cover

while the 9.4 book has:

light spine stress lines to cover
very small stain left center of back cover

So it seems that "light creasing" lowers grade from 9.8 to 9.2 but they do not penalize small stains on BC at this level. Also the creases must be light because I can't see them in this image - how obvious were they to you?

Don't forget Howard made it possible too until they appreciated his masterworks and transformed his stories to master Conan artworks.
