  Here is mine. I purchased it at my LCS a few months ago. This one will be in my next batch that I send off to CBCS.It really needs a press but otherwise a pretty clean copy. The LCS must not be familiar with pressing. He had it graded at a 3.0 due to the wavyness. He had $100 on it and let me have it for $90. I was very happy to get it. I think it could easily fall in the 6.0 range after the pressing. |

| Who had that sweet copy that CBCS pressed. They had before and after photos of it. It was pretty impressive to see the difference.Hoping for similar results. | ||

| I got mine raw at a 3.0 for $80. It came back from CBCS with a 4.0 without a press. I definitely wish I'd pressed it now. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim I've considered busting mine out to be pressed and regraded since it looks like it could definitely use it. I've heard that if there are spine tears on these giant size books that a press could make them worse by heating up the binding glue (or something, idk). Any truth to this? |

| @Thanatos I've heard similar things. It's part of the reason I didn't press mine to begin with, it has a small tear that concerned me. I'd definitely do the Pressing pre-screen just to be safe. The shop had two at this grade & price. I now wish I'd grabbed both. |

In my opinion, I have the nicest looking 9.2 of this issue IN THE WORLD. Looks even better in person. Not for sale.  |

| "IN THE WORLD", I love that. @conditionfreak That is a stunning 9.2. What did the notes say that kept it from being higher? |

| @conditionfreak should press and regrade that. CGC probably give it 9.6 | ||

| @X51 - lol, that's probably true. Unless there is something wrong on the inside, I honestly would have been upset with that grade | ||

Sorry, I fell asleep watching TV.  The problem with this book is that the top of the spine is crinkled slightly downward. Not torn nor missing. Just crinkled downwards about a 16th of an inch (maybe a 32nd, hard to see). As you can see, you just can not see the flaw from the front or back. It has been suggested to me that if I crack it open and apply some glue there under the spine end (just a small drop or less) and push it back into place, this could be a 9.8 But I ain't gonna do that. Applying glue to a book just scares me. Even though I think that is how these square bounds are held together in the first place (with glued spines). So I am not sure it would or could be detected. But I would know and it would bug me. I don't keep restored or trimmed books, no matter how rare. I sold my AF #15 because it turned out trimmed and I sold my Kid Colt #1 because it has a piece repaired/replaced. I love how this book presents and do like the cut. You can't even see the problem without turning the book at a certain angle and straining to see it (because of the slab). I have never looked up the notes for this book. Because I know what the flaw is. When you have the book in hand, it appears flawless. I bought this book from foolkiler on the CGC forum. Drove a long way to meet him in person for the exchange. Nice guy. |
