Nice copy. I see enough spine ticks and maybe wear along the top edge to think you might be out of the NM range, but I have noticed a lot books from this age grade pretty high with some noticeable ticks. 8.5±0.5. Definitely higher grade than mine that got the CGC stain hammer.

9.0

Thanks for posting.

A bang on 9.0. Yet again grendelbo and I are in agreement. 

Nice copy.

9.2

Yup

Not quite what we were expecting from this one especially with clean and press; graders notes have:

• fingerprints left top of front cover
• spine stress lines breaks color

I get the spine stress lines, but I can't see the fingerprints.

I'll take the wins where I can get them. Still a very sharp looking copy

I've been a victim of the "fingerprints" also but still nice looking key.

If they did cleaning the right way those fingerprints shouldn't have been there any longer.

It took me a moment to see the fingerprints, and they smudge the ink enough where I don't think a cleaning could have helped (I'm not an expert in cleaning though, so I may be underestimating what's possible)...
