9.4 grade20955
 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| I'm a firm believer in by the book, not the grade, but I'm also a bit of a grade snob. I don't like going below an 8.5 on Silver Age books (preferably 9.0/9.2), 9.4/9.6 on Bronze, and 9.8 on Copper and newer. I can partially lay the blame on OCD. |

| @flanders That's a really really nice looking book. Grader Notes say a Stain in middle and other smaller stains on front cover? Here's my thought. If a tree falls in the woods; does it make a sound if nothing alive hears it? If there's a stain that can only be seen by electron microscope, is it a stain to the bare human eye?  Kinda kidding but damn that Nick Fury book looks good and I certainly can't see any stains from that picture. That's for sure. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @Nuffsaid111 thanks, I certainly won't try to find those stains. It looks good how it's displayed. | ||

 Keep your $6.87 bro... not even saving tax with that.

| I walk past all the 9.2's to buy the 9.0 lingering in the back of the room a drink. | ||

| I generally find rare -books- more interesting than high grades. There is no magic going from a 9.2 to 9.4 to 9.6, etc. Visually, for the vast majority of books a 9.0 does as good a job of representing a book as a 9.6. For many, especially of a certain age, even low grade with patina represents extremely well. Cover art isn’t meant to be enjoyed with a magnifying glass or through scrutinizing small imperfections from reading. When a book exists in the thousands or tens of thousands of graded copies, paying big $ for these fine grade distinctions… not for me. | ||
