You can tell it's a third print by the greytones. The 1st page is pretty easy to see the difference. (thumbs u
But a buyer wouldn't be able to check the interior tones when they are covered by a xerox copy. If I was a buyer and was not aware of the last dozen posts in this thread I would buy the book as a first print NG, trusting CGC's label.

I was thinking raw or just plain coverless, but I see now you inferred "graded" in your OP.
It appears CGC graders aren't aware of the information in this thread. I just noticed the book in question is the same book we identified in this thread, so it was subbed recently (within this past year).
Yeah. Im traveling for dragon con right now, but ill look to see when it was subbed after the weekend.
Also, I wanted to mention again that I didnt sub this book with the intention to deceive. I subbed it as a counterfeit, and talked about it being a coverswap third print in my dealings with the cgc.
I just wanted it to be clear that getting it through as a first print wasnt my intention.
