Interesting to note that the user's name is trustme911 and that he/she mentions the bay's money-back guarantee not once, but twice.

I wouldn’t pay that much unless I site the book in person and follow through with the payment at a bank.

I wouldn't bid on it just because of the pre chipping...

I totally agree. I've seen pre-chips fall off in the slab. For this kind of money, it is a risk.

That's strange. The link is bringing me to an ASM #16, but the URL even says it's an AF 15. That happening to anyone else?

[360racer]

Nope

[zhamlau]

It is to me also. something off with the link. this one seems to work

The link indicates the item has been relisted.  Clicking on the 'relisted' link takes one to the book and the active sale.

Enjoy it as the spectacular book it is. 

[Spyder!]

If it were me, I would probably submit to CCS to have the color touch removed and try to get that blue label.

Problem with that is the color touch is amateur which means materials that can't be removed were used; a magic marker would be in this category. I find that even when the CT is removable, the book often looks much worse afterwards. Areas where the cover has been scraped down to bare paper don’t appeal to me.

Have you any idea how much CT is actually on the book?

[blazingbob]

Rip off the cover,  problem solved

[Subby1938]

There is a real beat up copy on eBay I’m watching at the moment. It’s ungraded but seller claims it’s a 2.0 approximately . It looks rough already north of 6K Canadian . I’m curious to see where this finishes at.

Actually if a book has slight CT on one or two corners only, youll optimize the book by ripping off said corners. And away goes the ct.

I agree. The color scrape is so obvious as the paper underneath is usually snow white. It looks terrible. IMO, it is destruction, done to game the system for profit. This book should stay as is. I like Bob's suggestion of ripping off the cover better than the color scrape.

True but the corners are not the usual target for CT. It's usually on the spine tics, often by the staple area. BTW, don't  rip the corners off, use a fingernail clipper to get a rounded effect and CGC may allow it as a bindery flaw, a chip that fell off.

"Clipping" is a 15 yard penalty assessed from the previous line of scrimmage.
