  1. congrats!! How does a book with an apparent pen mark be considered near mint in any way?
  2. I think that lower spine split was too much to overcome
  3. looks very much like your copy one of 12 copies on HA archives alone in standard holder
  4. I've had plenty of golden age books that were in old magazine holders that miraculously fit into the new standard size cases upon re-holder. This copy exhibits zero/minimal spine roll and is far from mis-wrapped. Someone got lazy and grabbed a magazine holder rather than actually try to properly fit this copy into a standard holder.
  5. if you break this copy out of the slab, you may lose the yellow label. How important is that to you?
  6. likely from shaken slab syndrome..ill fitting inner well
  7. Even as a die hard Baker fan, I don't believe he created the entire cover on his own. Likely a collaboration. I don't want to turn this into a PL17 thread as this topic has been hashed and rehashed ad nauseam.
  8. I do believe it was likely Baker and company had hands on this cover. How many, we will never know.
