  1. I ended up buying this copy. The staples are mildly oxidized but definitely not what I'd call "rusty" and I can see no sign of any sort of transference. It was slabbed almost 12-years ago. I'm guessing they were more strict on their definitions back then? Definitely looks like it would get both a grade and PQ bump on a straight resub. Maybe a bit better with a dry-clean and press. Regardless, I'm back in the club. Awesome book!
  2. That # 89 looks out of place. It can be yours for $500
  3. The Mightiest of all runs is really coming together
  4. I'm not trying to start a fight, I just don't understand why people can't just not look. I agree fish are viewed differently I just never understood why? anyway I'll bow out here as not to cause anymore commotion.
  5. I really don't understand why so many people seem offended. Icculus didn't post pics of the hunt itself, or of him posing with his kill, he just invited us into his world, his home... you don't have to like it, but being offended by his choice of decoration.. imo that's just wrong. I've seen pics of mounted fish here, and no-one was offended

  8. Are those megladon teeth? Although most of them I've seen are black. Those are Great whites ( No bourlette, and not fossilized). This is a Meg Tortoise is correct. (Is that your megladon tooth? That is a sweet one!!) The one by itself is a lower principle and the other three are 2 3/8 - 2 5/8 inch Upper Principles . yep, that's one of mine. (thumbs u

  13. bunky brian added. 37th copy in the club. Might wanna change the grade on Bunky's copy from a 9.0 to an 8.0.. Although it may have a shot at a 9.0 if regraded Done, thanks.
