When I first joined CGC, the rule was dust shadows = 7.0 TOPs. Today the bar is set at 8.5
Not sure where you heard that rule. Lots of books including Church copies have been sitting in 9.4+ holders, dust shadows and all, since the advent of CGC.

I'm glad you brought this up because I for one thought we would never see double digit interest rates again in our lifetime, simply because the economy, North American real estate markets could not sustain it. There would be a collapse that would make the 2008 crisis look like a picnic.
However, looking at the rate of which debt is growing year after year you have to wonder if there is a point [some day soon] where the US dollar is going to take a serious nose dive.
