Chudders Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Really appreciate any thoughts you have on this issue. The pictures are of an encased Hell Arisen #3 graded at 9.8 It looks as one might expect other than this spine wear or spine burn. Should this type of damage preclude it from 9.8 I am trying to determine what it is and if it is a slabbing or post slabbing problem, or simply an acceptable attribute that does not impact grade. I see something similar on quite a few modern books albeit not so pronounced, so would be great to know the grading implications. Many thanks.
