Korvac Saga Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just in today. This book has been so difficult to upgrade for me. I was shooting for 9.4, but was constantly outbid. Then last week I picked up this 9.6 for what many 9.4s have gone for. Sometimes a little patience and persistence pays off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.J Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just got this the other day! Finally joined the club! I always thought my copy was trimmed, I still think it is really, but seeing copies like the last couple give me slight hope. Not that I will ever slab it anyway so I wont ever find out for definite.

I would rather spend the cash on something else that I dont have. Its just your book is as close to mine edge wise as I have ever seen and gives me hope that it is not trimmed.

jimjum12 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This is from a collection the LCS just turned up.....not original owner. It doesn't look to be restored, but He gave me a return guarantee if it is. He sold it to me @ OSPG 8.5......which it might get. A press would make it a shoo in for 8.0 to 9.0.....and I'm really trying to decide if I'll slab. I LOVE raw books but this one probably should be slabbed. It has white covers and white pages.....the gloss and suppleness are unreal. I probably should have held out for a better price, but it looks like a new book......although it may stall out at 8.0....which would mean I overpaid by GPA.....but it's so tough in grade.
