I was kidding with BUTM.  At the same time it seems strange that they don't factor the overall grade into the cover's grade.  Essentially this is like having a single cover book with both a cover grade and an interior grade.  Seems like something isn't right.  

Thats why i thought the entire motive for the grading policy was to discourage people just taking off the outer cover.

I believe —— the best cover is used for the grade

:gossip:

I believe that the phrase "time in a bottle" refers to the amount of beer you can drink before last call.

Light Tan to Off White Pages would have something to do with the grade, as well as something we can’t see. 

Maybe a stain inside or detached centerfold....

I would agree about the page quality bringing down the book.  Perhaps the pages are just short of brittle, or maybe a detached staple or rust.

I have no idea who he is!  Just a little grading tournament trash talk!  :baiting:

Very nice - got me!  I'm just kidding about him being ineligible.   Hopefully he got his good picks out of his system last round.

I'm hoping I got all my bad picks out in the last round (it was ugly)!  BUTM definitely stepped up his selection for this tournament.
