BOS was actually C+ not that long ago, Blue Marlin was B if not higher, but that was beofre my time

That's right, there have been several books make it to the B's that failed. AcesGold failed before the SBR Rating Guide was started but it would have been a B+. BetPanAm saw a high of B+ and there was BlueMarlin at B. I think I'm missing one but those are the ones I remember.

What’s the highest grade a stiff book ever had the day withdrawals became impossible or at least very difficult? That’s a lot more relevant than where it peaked, or for that matter where it was the day it closed entirely.

I think what’s important for readers is whether a book that has at least a rating of such-and-such today is any risk to go under before we have a chance to get our money out. Historically, have the rating drops come too late, after bad news is public and there’s little or no hope left?
