| So, I got this a couple years ago at auction. The seller said it was VF/VF+. I know more about grading now than I did then. I'd consider it Fine, probably Fine + with a press. However, I'd like second opinions. Here's the kicker: did someone ERASE the phrase "third print" from the inside cover? Possibly trying to pass it off as an earlier printing? Any help would be appreciated.             |

| I don't know anything really about the turtles book. CaptainMyke should back in a few days. Just looking at the pic and grading the book as is no press I would say your around a 5.0 with a press you'll sneak into a 5.5 maybe a 6.0 depending on how that bottom right corner comes out along with all the dimples which should come out. | ||

| The fact that someone defaced the Third Printing text is really going to hurt the value. | ||

| Out of curiosity what are third print issues such as these worth? How about higher grades as well. | ||

| @Savage_Spawn The 6 month average on 9.6 3rd print #1 is $265. So, not a lot. I bet a 9.8 is $4-$500 though. |

I did. However, I didn't catch the erased part on the inside cover.  I do wish I kept the Seller's information, but it was years ago. |

| Definitely. Here's the 6 month average on a 9.6 2nd print. An 8.0 is around $300.  |

| It's pretty much a $30 book, in that grade. I'd say scan the FC and BC in, , disclose the defect (3rd print partially erased) put a BIN of $30 + $10 Priority Shipping and it'll sell. |
