Deutero Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Around a 6.0 for me. Higher if that back cover can be successful cleaned. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Agreed. Whatever that is on the bc drops it down to 6.0 at best. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The back looks like ink transfer to me, unless something is written on the inside of the back cover. It's like it was stacked next to a book with "125" written on it in marker. Almost like ink transfer from a distributor mark or something. I think a 7.0 is possible.

Haljordanfan Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I believe the answer is 7.0. Part of me wants to say 7.5 but I’m sticking with 7.0 ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 125 written on the inside of the back cover. I think it’s a distributor marking showing the cost of the stack of books delivered. $1.25. The 25 is written slightly smaller than the 1, and it looks like the 25 was underlined. Unless someone was marking this .12 book up 125% Here is the inside back cover pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrispyC66 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Most of you had this one guessed correctly. It came back at 6.5 with White pages. The grader treated the writing as a stain MrRoboto, scburdet, grendelbo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
