gadzukes Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I found 5 of these in the wild and they all look like this. If this is not a 9.8 candidate then I don't know what is. Crisp, clean, flat, tight, no spine tics. Let me know what you think. Edited September 29, 2023 by gadzukes Nowherebound and grendel013 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Tough to call a 9.8 by pics, but it looks like a candidate. About 15 years ago I too found this book in the wild at very high grade. I bought one copy for $3. I should've gotten the other four I saw there in that back issue bin. Thanks for posting. Nice newly bought collection by the way.

Nice newly bought collection by the way. I can't beat your $3, but the seller gave me 5 of these for $30 each. I feel pretty good about that, especially if I can get some 9.8s Edited August 23, 2023 by gadzukes Nowherebound and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I see things that could be something, could be nothing. Really hard to tell the difference between 9.2-9.8 on here. The little corner thing could be the tiniest bindery chip that wouldn't hurt much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure at least a couple will pull a 9.8 Nowherebound and scburdet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
