It's probably the same one. It has a 3" and a 1" diagonal crease on the bottom left back corner. Otherwise it's a great copy, with exceptional gloss. I guess Donger got ripped on it, he said that the seller didn't disclose the creases and wouldn't take returns. Maybe you got off lucky? In any case, it's nice enough for me, but certainly won't win any prizes if it's ever slabbed.
Yup, it's the same one. I recalled it having 2 creases on it. Too bad about the back cover because when I first received it, I was extremely happy...until I saw the back cover! It's much glossier and fresher than my personal copy.
Yeah, the creases are pretty pronounced too. It's not like they barely break color. I am pretty forgiving when it comes to back cover defects though, especially when the front is as sharp as this one. The gloss is very nice and the colors are extremely bright. CGC would hammer it though. Did the seller advertise it as NM? I wonder how much Donger lost on the sale to me.
Yeah, it was advertised as NM but there was only a small FC scan. I took a chance without asking for further scans due to his feedback but was disappointed. I was able to get a refund without problems and even got my shipping reimbursed. I think Donger may have gotten it from a relative of this guy. I bought a book from someone else and his last name was the same as the original seller.
Yup, the BC wear shouldn't have been missed but who knows.
