I just got it 32 days ago today, I contacted eBay and they contacted him. He responded saying he had it checked at a local shop and no restoration. I told him cgc picked it up and he said sorry no refund. eBay wants me to wait 3 business days before they step in. I paid through PayPal on my credit card. 

Do I have recourse with any of them if item is not as listed?

So does this make it worth about 10k?

Did CCS work on the book (press/dry clean)?  CCS should've let you know about the restoration if you instructed them to.  The type of restoration you mention in the graders notes will take around 70% off the value of an unrestored universal grade.

What was the grade?  The spine looked a bit worn so I'm at 6.5/7.0

I purchased it on eBay, no mention from Cgc on trimming. The grade is at 7.5.

i'm in the book 14,100.00 this was the cost plus Ccs/Cgc. I am kinda glad about the date stamped on the front. Kinda makes it unique to me?

How burried am I in the book?

its gonna be with me for some time I guess. 

Thanks for all the help everyone

I think the book shows in the 7.5 range ... are you worried about the wear along the spine?

Not really, I'm happy with it. I'm hoping most of the dirt lifts in Ccs. It's been there over 3 solid weeks and expect a grade anytime now. Do you think the wear is seveee along the spine?

Count me in

Here they are

PQ, centering, MC, eye appeal, and the extent of the restoration all go into the factors determining the real value of your book not just the grade IMHO. Scan a picture and I'm sure there are many here who could help with your question. At the end of the day if you are happy with owning the book its priceless to you.

 

I posted pictures, please review and let me know. Thanks in advance

Here are the pictures, please review

Big question, I own an AF-15 3.0 With slight-A resto (light color touch)

About how much is it worth?

Grades should be in by mid next week.... Anyone else want to take a shot before I post ...?

Will the dry clean lift a lot of the dirt off the cover?

Best of luck, very nice book either way.

suspense on grades is killing me as well.

Folded cover and wear along the spine. I agree with the 4.0

still looks like a keeper to me

Neat book, I agree with the 5. I see a lot going on in the spine

Very nice condition imo.... 9.4 on my newbie eyes I thought I saw a small nick on the lower part of the spine. If not a nick the bump me to 9.6

Any more quesstimits? I should be out of CCS with a press and a dry clean then a grade. I will post a picture as soon as I find out and ship it into safe keeping. Grade away and thanks for making my 1st experience here a great one.

I was told it was in an attic in a box for nearly 30 years. 

Does anyone think CCS pressing will help improve the grade? And do they include a dry clean?

I'm brand new to this and still learning but I will try. The book has eye appeal with a few defects on the cover and by the staples, i'm seeing a fold down the middle on the front. Back looks good with a stain on the lower corner.

grade 6.50 but again i'm a stone cold newbe.
