  1. Spaceman 1 Ohio Copy (not noted on label but it's an Ohio code). This is a fantastic Everett cover with some of Maneely's best interior stories. CGC 7.5 for $800.

    Census; 1 in 7.5, 1 in 8.0 and 2 in 9.0 This copy was not pressed by its owner and, as an old label book, unlikely to have been pressed.

    There are some challenges with my scanner and these old slabs that have slight scuffs so if you have a question feel free to ask. I can take a close up picture of any spot to assist.

    Nice pick-up. That book has been growing on me ever since I saw one in another board member's sig line.

  2. I bet the old 9.2 notation is removed after this sells... I was surprised it took us this long to figure it out! You all really think a new to market early tec in 9.6 just showed up?!

     

    The fact that the 9.2 was bumped to 9.6 was brought up by me shortly after it did.

    So no, we didn't take long at all to figure it out. :makepoint:

     

    The :o was for if it sold for 50K as a 9.2 (yeah, I know when and where it sold too), what price will it bring as a "9.6". It is currently in 3rd spot of HA auction result estimates only behind the Bat1 3.5 and AF15 8.5.

     

     

    That is not a good 9.6 :makepoint: 9.2 ya but not 9.6 look at it.

    Looks better as 9.2 Look at top staple now at 9.6 ?

    I just compared the scans. Sadly, I must agree with woowoo on this point. I'm also curious to know why the page quality was upgraded from just two years ago.

    Others know more about this than I do, but other board members have stated that when a book is pressed, the pages retain some moisture that makes them feel more supple, so if a book is graded within days of having been pressed, it is likely to get PQ bump.
