yoda12288 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I hoping this is 9.8 material ! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don't think it's possible to accurately grade at the top tier from photos. Hard enough in hand. I see what looks like a stress line at the top staple. Some of the dark ink looks like it's lost a bit of gloss or had very light scuffing. I see 9.2/9.4, but it is hard to be confident when the smallest details are important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda12288 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Yeah, after examining it more I tend to agree. I hoping a nice clean and press will help bump it up some more . I've definitely seen 9.8s with small color breaking tics . But you are right also about grading by photos . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
