Hawkman23 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think Peewee's copy could be pressed up to a 9.2. A QUALITY press could sharpen the left top corner, which is holding it back from 9.2 status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peewee22 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Wow, I did not realize that the original buyer of the Keller copy took such a hit on it. If the buyer could have held on to the Keller copy longer....would done better. how much longer? 10 years? Might even be longer than that. They bought it at the wrong time and paid a premium for it. Based on the rumblings we have had posted here, there are other HG copies lurking out there that will top 9.0. When that happens, this book will likely drop further as it will no longer be tied for top census. K, You still have to look beyond the "value" of this book to see what it represents to the hobby. Overall, it will always be in high demand in all grades. There's too much BST (Blood, Sweat & Tears) associated with this book. Every oldie and newbie has a story to tell about a 22 they had or still have. We keep hearing about these 9.0+ copies but they yet to have surfaced (and they probably will). Today, there are only 3 9.0s out there and nothing higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the number of GA and SA collections that are turning up annually chances are that there are still a lot of HG copies out there. The biggest question is whether they end up slabbed or not.
