I was contacted by the new owner of the book. He was aware of it's prior grade of 9.2, and is very happy to be adding it to his collection.

Thanks, guys. I've had both of these for years, but it's time to pass them on to someone else to enjoy.

Not really. The telltale signs of a cleaning aren't typically seen. Most people are getting blue labels. Some people are taking it too far and ending up with purple labels, but those are pretty egregious examples where the books don't look natural. It's not an aqueous/solvent bath like cleaning has been historically. You'd be really surprised by what people are doing. That being said, it's out there in the wide open for anyone to find or see.
I haven't kept up on all this. I need to educate myself.

Peroxide, distilled water, or blue LED. There are at least 2 proprietary cleaning mixes also.
These are procedures that if caught by CGC, would result in a purple label, correct?

Last time I saw him at a show, he had a raw Prize I'd been after marked a 5.5. Took about five seconds on my phone to find the significantly lower grade slab he had cracked it out of.
Not someone I feel at all comfortable buying from.
That's really disappointing to hear.

Could be anybody, Jeff, but my first thought was Ritter. He has been known to buy big grade books, do his thing, and roll the dice on a submit. Ask him when you see him next. If he hesitates, bingo!
I'm less interested in the who than the how. I've always been under the impression that eliminating a dust shadow required a wet cleaning. If that's the case, how did CGC miss it? Or is there a new method I haven't heard about?

but the colors on the cover are considerably faded from the 9.2 to 8.5, most especially in the Superman logo.
I suspect the color variation is just scanner settings.

Nah, they don't belong together. Split them up.
You might want to list prices and terms pretty quick, or the mods will delete your post.
