Time for some uninformed speculation, and not the sort that you can profit from either!  :wink:  First, the book!

Now for the speculation!  Was the cover in that state when the book was graded or was it displayed in a store window somewhere in the tropics?!  Next, if the book looked like it does now when it was graded, was it a result of the ink on the printing press needing to be replenished?!  I'm supposing that's the case since the pages haven't turned worse than off white/white.  Lastly, if my supposition is correct, then even if the book looked like this on the day of issue, should it have been given a 9.8 grade?!  The cover is positively anemic!  Cue Ice-T music!  Colors, colors colors!

If that's the case I'd throw the book some shade, but I think it's too late! :wink:

Technically if you get a color blind buyer all they see is the 9.8 and SALE>

Can you show a picture of the back cover?

Interior page quality won't change as quickly as it takes to fade a cover.

Comparing the colors on the back cover will likely give you the answer.
