Yeah, but your string of 4's will not soon be forgotten. That was a REMARKABLE run! 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

I think the string of goose eggs I'm creating might end up being a little more memorable... insane.gif

 

Nah, the contest will be over before you get many more of those.... poke2.gif

i called it an 8.5 as it is a really nice looking book. Must be a little tanning going on 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I think it looked VF+ too.

 

I went 7.0

 

Figured the spine stress alone takes it to 9.0...and hammered the top edge a full 2 points.

 

Back to back goose eggs acclaim.gif

 

i also guessed 7.0. so much for my roll. frown.gif

This has been more fun (and aggrevation) than I originally thought. Chris has raised the bar and interestingly enough alot of people followed. If I can nail the next two I have a shot...

Serves me right for Nik bumping it so much. 893censored-thumb.gif

 

Looks nicer than a 8.0. Other than the one crease back cover what happened?

Said 8.5 also, must be something on the inside.

 

I was tempted to go 8.5, but I stuck with 8.0.

 

IMO, the top edge wear, the wear to the top spine corner and the small scuff with color loss on the bottom edge of the FC keep it out of 8.5.
