I didn't get a close look at it but did notice a water stain at the top-right corner; taking a guess on VG overall but presenting nicely. I may be able to pry it loose from him but wondering what is too much. Better be careful criticizing that seller here. He's one of us...and yes, he always wants the moon...but it's better to shoot for the stars and hit the moon, than to shoot for the lamp post and hit the mud puddle...

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted July 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ad advertisement for pressing. The scan on the left is the book as I bought it -- slabbed but not pressed. Not too clear from the scan, but it had an awful spine roll. On the right is the book after pressing. The grade was unaffected, but it looks much, much better with the roll flattened out. I had to inquire as to whether they could press a book with a detached cover. Turns out that they can. comicnoir, sacentaur, Ricksneatstuff and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are talking about different sellers/items. The eBay copy was an auction by a board member and it sold for what it was bid up to. I am not criticizing him at all. There is another copy, definitely not a board member, who is basing his price on that auction. His price seems high, but I don't know due to scarcity of data. While we're on the topic, however, there is definitely an eBay seller who always shows up on my searches with high prices *and* off grading...but I guess that's why the items are still there.

Btw, both my ex-copy and current copy of GS10 were/are missing the color on that tiny upper right corner of the cover. It does make it look like a chip out.

It was also in an oversized slab before the press. This issue is from that period when the TARs were taller than regular GA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
