Yep. Just because one can afford to overpay and look
doesn't mean one should open one's wallet and remove all doubt, just as you don't pay $1800 for an $18 pizza just because you're Jeff Bezos.
I held the 9.9 in my hands at an SDCC sometime in the early 2000s (2001-03 timeframe). Back then I was known as a big Bronze/Copper comic guy and the then-owner saw my name on my badge and invited me over to check it out (I forget what price he had on it at the time, but, it was way out of my league back then). It didn't look like a 9.9 to me even before the SCS. It's been too long to remember specific details, but, I remember my impression of it: gift grade from early days of CGC grading. Not that it matters to the label-chasers out there.
We just have been at the same show as I did the same thing. Ideal Collectables was the seller , and I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment. The deep color breaking stress mark on the spine kept me from purchasing it. A decision I regret as 50K would have been a helluva deal nowadays .
It has taken me many years to find a keeper copy of this book, and with the current pandemonium I am at least happy that I got in relatively early.

Sweet!! looks nice
Thanks, I honestly think VF+ can be a real sweet spot for ALOT of books,many of my resubmissions have some back a grade or even two higher without any work. CGC seems to have difficulties in this area in my personal experience anyway

Im not 100% sure thats the case all the time. Maybe they use a wedge if they are not using the proper inner well size and maybe when the wedge is on the spine side it could pinch the cover in place and expose the inside pages to shifting and detaching from cover during shipping.

Well said Bob , it would help eliminate SCS in alot of books in my opinion. I have asked CGC to add it to many books without success

Thanks Gadzukes! I collected as a kid and then after college in the early '90s, but haven't touched my books until 6 months ago. Was floored by how much some accrued value (like this one). I want to get it graded but i'm a bit hesitant to send it through the mail. I'll need to figure something out. I sent a few books to CGC for the first time this month.
Glad to be in the presence of fellow AF 15 owners! A fine bunch for sure!
Collectibles Insurance covers the copy during transit for grading, at a fraction of the price it would take to replace that copy that is for sure .

"near perfect registration and centering. " ...Is Doug Schmell writing the verbiage? I would not call either attributes near perfect with this book.

Well a CVA sticker seems to worth its weight in gold on the right book with current record breaking sales. I think the others are referring to security, and I do agree. Personally I think it would be beneficial FOR a grading company watermark the micro-chamber paper to ensure that the book in the holder is the SAME book in the slab. This would help reduce any slab swapping as it would prove to be much more difficult to swap a book out of an inner well.
