Hmm. Yeah, those certificates have "morphed" a bit over time. Now they're standardized on 5 x 7 photographic sheets, have a larger scan of the comic, and contains a blow up of the date stamp as a photographic detail. (But it's a faster process.) Probably a little weird of me to do it... but it seemed a good idea at the time.

Oh.. I wasn't saying that it wasn't pressed. I was just noting that Jason (or whoever made that statement) could have been telling the truth. They bought it.. sold it.. that other person resubmitted it, etc. and then Jason got it back for re-consigning. If you look at my scans Pre-CGC (which are still available), you'll note that most people would never call that a 9.6 quality book (and did not). The edges have massive numbers of little imperfections. The scans from the later auction show what appears to be a much cleaner edge. I do have detailed scans of that book PRE-CGC and POST-CGC and you can still see the imperfections even POST-CGC. My scans are larger than the later ones provided, of course.

Okay.. my two cents. It's entirely possible and probable that Jason Ewert sold it to someone who then resubmitted it for a higher grade and then had it reconsigned back. One thing I haven't mentioned before is that I didn't ship the book to Jason directly, but rather to a friend he was visiting (another BSD.) So that explanation is entirely plausible and I have no reason to doubt its veracity.
