Scootk Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hi I was wondering if this could be a 9.8 what do you think? Any input will be appreciated Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Probably not a 9.8... Conservatively, my guess is 9.0/9.2. - There are a few spine stresses with a couple that are color breaking, both spine corners are blunted, some color transfer or soiling and possibly some slight foxing along the the top edge of the BC.

wheelz86 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think you have a chance. The corners look more like bindery tears to me and the ticks don't appear to be color breaking. I just got mine back that I pregraded before cleaning and pressing at about a 9.0 mostly due to what I thought was color rubs and was comparable to yours and it came back at 9.8!

Zegeroth Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Front cover looks solid. If that’s foxing on the back cover, you are probably out if luck. I’d bet spine ding on the back cover presses out. As is, 9.4. Chance it cleans and presses to 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 As is, it look like a fraggin' 9.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
