Here's my copy.
If you ever have a second and wouldn't mind posting a close up of the top left corner (notorious for defects) I'd appreciate it as that book may have the best 'Avatar' region I've seen in a while.
No problem ! There's definitely a small amount of color break on the top left edge, and a few extremely small color breaking stress marks on the spine where the avatar is, but it's pretty clean.
Thanks for doing that, that is a very nice top left corner, I'd assume that the faint stress there is what kept it out of 9.6 because I can see little else that is not perfect on this book. Its like someone whacked all the DD 1s on the top left, in the Green area with a sand paper wrapped ruler. The 9.0 I bought has abrasion there, which is undoubted what kept it out of higher grades.
Yeah to get a 9.6 you pretty much have to have perfect edges. I can only imagine what the two or three 9.8 copies look like.
