I skipped to the good stuff. That Clements would never get an 8.5 under the “newer” standards. Even under old standards, that divot in the back should knock the technical grade down significantly. That said, it is a GORGEOUS example of an OJ. I could stare at that one all day long.
The guy's a bit of a bobo too (sorry if you know him). Yes. NM/MT+ = 8.5. Not rocket science.
