Every time a high grade copy of a mega-key is announced these days, it turns out that it's just a recycled book.

Now that we have our answer, it will be interesting to see whether there is any perceivable bidder reaction - in either direction.

Always thought that one went from cedar chest and straight to CGC. I feel as though I was once a kid, and while a kid I enjoyed delicious treats during Christmas. I knew presents were coming from Santa, and joy would follow me wherever I went. Then, one day, a fellow boy at school decided it was appropriate to tell me there was no Santa. Suddenly, life as we know it ceased to matter. This is how I now feel having learned this. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glue removed book graded 8.5. Book resubmitted unknown number of times (I heard 2) before finally got 9.0. Book’s cover was extensively dry cleaned to remove a lot of surface flaws. It deserved a 9.0 once glue was removed, book pressed and dry cleaned. Chicago Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I never saw it in person, but it seemed pretty cherry from the photos at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
