Thanks guys!

Well here's the story:

I always had these two pegged to sub all year. Both of the grades came out what I predicted them - FF#48 9.0 and #73 9.4. The third book wasn't necessarily a stinker. It was a #33 7.0 with WP.The best presenting 7.0 you will ever see! Unfortunately I wanted an 8.0 or better for that particular issue #...

I thought it was going to be an 8.5 due to a tiny CB crease LR corner FC that I noticed doing a quick once over FC. The problem is that I subbed them at WW Texas on Saturday 10 minutes before the Con was closing up and I knew I wasn't coming back on Sunday. I hurriedly purchased a book, kinda glanced over it and turned it in with the other two. Again, I figured 8.5. The problem was I NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF THE BAG :doh: There was a 2 1/2" Crease on the UL corner BC, in addition to a small tear. :pullhair:

It was sold as an 8.5 to me and I ran with it. Totally my fault for not inspecting it closer. :sorry:

However there was a happy ending. When I found out what grade the book was I notified the seller to see if I could get a partial refund. He insisted on giving me a full refund for the book AND grading fees! wee.gif

There's no pic because I mailed it off as soon as it arrived!

Anyways, I'm 2 out of three on my subs but I still consider myself 100% accurate so far since I never really inspected the #33 like I did the other two...I will get a better estimation of my grading prowess when I start subbing my collection a little at a time.

 

WOW! Who was the seller? That's far and above the call of duty, and is worthy of commendation!

 

Congrats on the other two, those look really really nice (thumbs u

Just a great book, in so many ways. I hope you love that book in ten years as much as I know you love it now, and that every time you look at it, it brings you good feelings about your time here on the boards. Yes, I am waxing a bit here but I think that's probably better than just being bitter that I couldn't afford to BIN it when it was offered

I can say, with all honestly, that at least half of my favorite books have been purchased directly from here, and the other half I would not have know about without this place. I hope I like it 10 years from now too, but I really doubt that will be a problem.

His Sanguinely Panted Lordship will be just fine. As will his minions scatted cross the globe.

 

It's the planet that's got me worried
