Thank you very much RHG! I've always loved this book & this particular copy in fact, as it belonged to a longtime collector friend Jerome Wenker. For probably 25 years, I would visit him, bringing books to share, sometimes we'd buy books from each other and this exact copy of Tec 9 was always near the front of his Detective box. I've thumbed it up many times & it is very solid with nice pages. You can see at the top & bottom of the spine that it was slightly trimmed (probably 35 + years ago) and there is that colored tape on the spine. I can't show the label, but it feels all the 3.0 it was graded. It'll likely be out of that holder before this weekend is done. Btw, your copy is amazing!!!
