jmacmac Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Hi all, and thanks in advance. If a modern book has no significant flaws (9.8) other than the ballpoint ink blotches in the top left of this image, what would you expect the grade to be?

Deadpoolica Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 All depends on if it could be a manufacturing defect or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 "...ballpoint ink..." makes me think the flaw happened in-possession, in which case I'd say 8.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Pressing won’t help those ink blots much. 8.5/9.0...IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
