The Lions Den Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is a case where I'd do a comparison with as many other copies as I could find; if they all exhibit the same anomaly it's likely production related. Books with these kinds of defects can vary in grade, but if it's a common issue and there are no other problems, it could still grade in the Near Mint range... lostboys and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostboys Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks for taking the time. Theres a 9.8 for sale on Ebay and I think i see the line by the spine but I can't be sure. Now, if I sent this in for a press, you think that would that take care of it regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The spine edge looks like a stacking crease. The middle front cover crease I don't know. My copy, bought at publication, displays neither. Press for 9.4 or better. Thanks for sharing. lostboys and The Lions Den 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
