rainmaker Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I know the fella said he was stoked about getting a ga bat book. Kinda sad to see it become overpriced sale fodder. It'll probably end up on ebay too at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmaker Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yes the book structurally looked more vg+/F- but those stains were killer. I had it at around 9k to 10k current market value range and traded accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front cover shows pretty well, apart from the one prominent tape stain. But that back cover is a bit of a mess; the tape residue looks like, well, blood. As if that knife on the front cover found its target. 'Tis pricey for all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Tis pricey for all that... to be fair that scan is over-saturated. the book looks better in hand but its a rough copy for the grade. of course it is in the marketplace and these books certainly dont grow on trees.

'Tis pricey for all that... +1 Based upon what I am seeing being slabbed as 3.0 graded books nowadays, it's like the difference between night and day. Almost makes me think that CGC graded books should probably have an expiry date or Best Before Date in order to eliminate the sometimes blatant grading inconsistencies when CGC is swinging between loose grading and tight grading time periods. Yes, much more money for CGC , but much more money taken out of the pockets of collectors. I guess the best solution is to buy the book, instead of buying the label.

Lots of wisdom in those comments, Mr. Fine! One could reasonably infer that a restored book with great eye appeal should demand more interest than an unrestored book with ho hum looks, when matched (more or less) for grade.

I am a big fan of Guardineer's work on all the Pre Robins. 28 is my personal favorite, but I am probably in the minority here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
