(and any other pointers on identifying resto...) Thanks!

If you zoom into the photos on a good screen (at least the photos are decently sized), the CT in the light blue areas is pretty easy to spot. It's a nice-presenting book... but yep, resto'd for sure and the seller is just playing dumb. (Point Five: thanks for "point"-ing out the resto for me.)

Like most people here (I suspect), I've had many good purchases from eBay, as well as a small number of disappointments. When I compare what I've paid on eBay compared to dealer prices, I'm way ahead. A bit of due diligence goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here... far more hits than misses, and my GA collection virtually wouldn't exist without ebay. And of course, quite a number of boardies here are ebay sellers as well. I doubt there are very many collectors here without an active ebay account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
