PGM EERIE #25 4 4

[Axe Elf]

One of the last pieces I found for my full run collection of EERIEs was #25.  Most of the copies I was seeing for sale on eBay were for like "Fair" to "Good" 2.0-3.0 copies priced at $15-$20 ($20.90 w/Shipping, $19.72 w/Shipping), or a 5.5 priced at $80 ($86 w/Shipping) or even whatever THESE are (4.0 and 6.0, maybe?) priced at $139.99 each.  (At least one of them offers free shipping.)

I was trying to limit myself to $10 per issue, shipped (it helped to buy several issues in lots, but after paying more for a few of the more hard-to-find issues, I ended up at $10.29 per issue shipped; $8.20 per book minus shipping and tax paid)--but I also wanted to get decent copies (at least 4.0) wherever possible as well, and paying $20 for the low-grade copies or $80 or more for a mid-grade copy just wasn't on my radar.

So when I searched Amazon and found this little beauty sitting there for $6.95 + $4.50 shipping, I snapped it up.

Well, it arrived yesterday, and it's even better than I thought it was.  The only kinda major flaw it has is a long barely-color-breaking scratch line horizontally just under the lowest tree branch, and then there is a little yellowing at the edges of the back cover.  Other than that, it's pretty impeccable.  The pages inside are in pristine off-white condition.  So what grade would you give my $7 find?

I've seen 8.5's worse than this so I'll go in at 9.0.
