I would appreciate all opinions on grading before I send this in. I understand it will be the Green Label due to the signature. I purchased it in 1996 and it has been in a bag and stiff plastic holder since. It is in very good condition except for a few small creases along the spine and a defect in the upper back corner. I have never submitted to CBC before so I am curious if it is above 9 or below. Thanks

It's amazing how a full frontal shot and a different angle accentuates the positives and the negatives.

I can see a 9.0 but not much more due to that 1/4 inch tear (?) on the BC. Worth grading either way.

Thanks. It isn’t really a tear as it doesn’t go all the way through. It is just a scratch. Not sure if that makes a difference.

All the difference in the world...A small flaw as opposed to a small tear ( I need to stop grading from my phone )

There are a number of color breaking creases at the spine I don't think it would grade 9.0 even with a press. I think it would be best to lower your expectations to 8.5.

I agree - it does present well, but with all those creases I think Bone 1 is a 8.5
