Cgc only designates tan if book is close/borderline to slightly brittle. No way that book comes back cr/ow
That's the reason I didn't bid more. Pq scared me.
Rick, I know you put a lot of stock into the unverifiable and mercurial "PQ" labeling of CGC, but with all due respect this is simply not true. There are at least 15 different possible "PQ" designations and sub-designations between "light tan to off white " and "slightly brittle", including "tan", "dark tan", and "brown".
"Light tan to off white" isn't even close to "brittle" and Peter is right, as there are numerous accounts by boardies (including me) of the "PQ" on a label flipping from "Light Tan" all the way up to "off white" in some instances on resubs.
Frankly the book is just looking soft right now as we have seen other GA keys set or approach GPA highs recently with "brittle pages" on the label even.

i simply stated why I didn't bid more on this copy and one reason why the realized price was lower than it would have been had this book of had ow/w pages.
