Brother J Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Now that the experts are here, Are there any issues in this run that are particularly hard to find in high grade? #6 is definitely a bugger. I picked up a copy of #6 from Lone Star for a decent price, they graded it as an 8.5, but I feel it was very undergraded, I feel it's easily a 9.4. Wouldn't have even thought about picking up this issue until I saw a discussion about it on this board a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abracadabra Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I know I'm a bit late to the party but nice job. That book is tough in 9.8! I remember when Grails offered a $1000 for a copy. I had 3 untouched/unread copies and thought maybe I had one that would be worth submitting...they all had multiple spine stresses. #6 is a rough one too.

conditionfreak Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have a decent #1 raw. Sadly that's all I have from the series, that I know of. Who knows what's in those boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epowe10097 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have a Primer # 2 at CGC 9.0 and this one and a Primer 6 in what looks NM. If I could figure out how to post the picture here, I would. What makes Primer 6 so hard in grade? Is it the all white back cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could figure out how to post the picture here, I would. What makes Primer 6 so hard in grade? Is it the all white back cover? Nah. Simple attrition. Nobody cared that much to save them when they came out, and they all ended up in quarter bins over the years. Same with #3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received my CGC grades, and there will finally be two copies of Primer 6 in the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epowe10097 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So in all your personal opinions, you would grade this book? What grades? 9.4 and up? 9.8 only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 9.8 only The shame is, you miss out on so many great books because everything has to be 9.8 or nothing, Sam. But hey, you leave loads of super books for me to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epowe10097 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I believe mine would be around a 9.4 or so. I guess back to the bottom box it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
