Grades on this German DD#1

[bullseye]

just got this in the mail today, and it looks just like the scan i saw before i bought it, thanks to awe4one for the scan and the book.

Why bother asking the forum what they think of the grade? It's a modern reprint.

Nice.

9.8

 

That top spine corner looks so perfect it reminds me of a certain eBay sellers scans...

[bullseye]

why bother? they sell well on ebay, and if it was above a 9.2, i wanted to get it slabbed for my collection

Contrast on the scan too harsh to tell for sure.

after looking it over for a long while last night, i noticed a small ncb indentation, how much does that drop the grade? it isn't noticeable unless you hold it at a very weird angle, and it is not very deep. Still prolly gonna slab it, because for one it looks incredible, and #2 i am going to be slowly slabbing my DD's when i finish my run
