Could any photoshop experts out there help the blind (me hi.gif) and point out the stains and the crease for me? (and for the few others who can't see them)

 

Thank you in advance!

Ernie

 

Done that route in the first round and got razzed endlessly...or maybe it was because adjusting in photoshop heightened any flaws 10x and made things that weren't there appear (hence my grade being off by a mile) foreheadslap.gif

 

ps. the scan of the slab seems to be much better to me....

Bright colors on the cover hide it pretty well. A few asked about that corner and I replied.

 

 

This book was very hard to grade, no doubt.

 

Plus I like the fact that I am bouncing grades all over the place to keep people of balance and start looking hard for defects, and not just assume everything posted will be 9.X or better.

How about 7.0s that have creases visible to the human eye? poke2.gifflowerred.gif

 

I have a few of those already cracked out and would like to use them also, but I dont trust people not to check the census 27_laughing.gif

From worst to "spot on". 893scratchchin-thumb.gif893scratchchin-thumb.gif I need to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

 

Well if you put a monkey in front of a typewriter long enough, eventually it will learn how to type poke2.gifstooges.gif

 

Well spotted, either you have a secret weapon or you ask just the right questions.

Keep it up 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

27_laughing.gif Well, I was born under the Year of the Monkey! yay.gif Any other Year of Monkey-ers out there?

 

Thing that did it for me on this one was the browning on the book. Don't know how much is really deducted for browning (foxing?), but when I first saw it, I equated it to the rusty staples from the earlier book--which was a 7.5. I thought the browning was a little worse, and so I brought it down a notch.
