Gerber's scarcity index rates it as 7 (21 to 50 copies in existence)

I would be scared to touch that book with a 10 foot pole. It screams resto or reproduction to me. That raw book is to me why grading companies exist.

Bottom staple looks like it was swapped out, if not both staples.

And from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like the correct era of vintage staples were used.

It’s likely color touched with tear seals.

There’s something off about the color tone around the top staple - could be piece fill or CT.

I’m on my cell so I can’t make out too much detail but yeah, one could strike a deal on it via BO and just return it if it has resto.

Though you’d have to be good at spotting it or know someone that is & you trust to look it over.

Very good video on using a microscope to see CT on a purple label Hulk 181 8.5:

On second look, I should have extended that circle ⭕️ I made to go all the way up the spine.

A spine should not look that perfectly straight.
