I Miss Dave (Stevens, that is) 9 9

[Toz]

Was this the one on E-bay?

One and the same.Fits in my DS collection and my Pacific collection.

Finally had a chance to do this. Not sure about the green. Might change it.

[Mayor006]

I probably would have gone with a blue to offset the certificate but it looks great!

[Bosco685]

No offense meant Keith, but the plain green looks like something you would use to display military or civic badges rather than this cherished collector item.

 

Maybe you can add a second layer of board that is a different color which breaks up the green? Kind of like this example, where marbleized board was added on top of a blue board to give it a little character.

I thought the same thing. Looked okay till I stuck it in the frame. Oh, well. I can always change it.

Maybe if you can find a framing store where they can print on white board, they can use something like this and line it with his later work?

 

[Mayor006]

Or just drizzle some pancake syrup down the sides.

I think there's a Dave print out there with 'nekkid wimmen and syrup"

[kdoginohio]

Got this in the mail yesterday. (black covers are so hard to scan)

[Mayor006]

That's one book I gave up on trying to find raw and luckily found slabbed already. The black cover is hard to find in sweet condition...

[Toz]

Check this out though on a real 3-D Zone 16 in the 9.X's.

 

3-D Zone 16 Q CGC 9.0

 

This was the second book ever graded, and I always assumed it received a Qualified Label because it was missing the glasses. Not so!

 

DAVE SIGNED IT!

 

 

 

Always good to have a signed one!

Anyone here win this one? Did you notice it's a second print???

[Soloist]

Yes. And yes.

[Bosco685]

Yes. And yes.

 

 

Nice job! I'd get it pressed, resubmitted, and inform CGC they had it in the wrong census to begin with. Then you can send it in with your other example and create a census of two.

+1 :thumbsup:

[Soloist]

Hmm, pressing a signed book? Has this been done with success before?

[Bosco685]

Oh yes. It will still be a Qualified Label, but does it matter with that gorgeous signature?

 

[Soloist]

Nah, the label doesn't matter, I do agree that it needs to be resubmitted so it can be noted as a second print. Pressing that book makes me nervous though, think about it, this very well could be the only signed second print in existence. I would hate to mess that sig up.

Very good point!

[This is water]

Can some explain the difference between the 1st and 2nd print? Is one more desirable than the other?

 

Here's some of my Dave Steven finds...
