scooter99 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I remember reading several months ago a thread that Dr. Anderson owned the highest graded (but not slabbed) grail. Was it Tec 27 or Action 1? I also remember several people on the forum have seen the book and thought it was in the 9.2 to 9.4 range. For the life of me I can't dig up that thread. Would appreciate it if someone remembered the book and the thread. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 He owns the best copies of both books. Thanks Bruce. Are both the books from the Church collection? Could very well be 10 million in 2 books alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 No, he owns the Allentown Tec 27 Around a 9.4 - 9.6 and the Church Action 1 in the 9.2-9.4 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detective35 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Just to re-enforce what "Dark Knight" said, a while back when Steve Borock saw it, he said the Tec 27 would likely be a solid 9.6 while the Action 1 was likely a 9.4 (others have said 9.2 - 9.4) & of course this was not an official grade nor closely scruitinized.

He keeps it rolled up in his back pocket. Mr.Illmannered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Anyone know why he doesn't want to slab them? maybe cuz by the time he wants to sell them, CGC will be a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Anyone know why he doesn't want to slab them? Would you want to risk damaging them? I wouldn't. Sure, we'd all like to know the CGC grade of the books, but there's no reason for Dave to slab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action1kid Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I actually spoke to him about it a few years ago and his responce was why should he risk the book getting damaged to have it put in a plastic coffin. Dont blame him at all with a book of astronomical value I must say. Remember what happened to Robert B. Hes still after CGC with a vengence.

MrBedrock Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If he's not selling them he wouldn't care. Bingo. I also think that as time has gone by he realizes that those two particular books will have much more of an aura surrounding them as long as they remain unslabbed. The speculation about grade and value will continue to be fodder for new chat-board threads, convention discussions, and collector's fantasies until the moment the books are graded and/or sold. All of the talk adds to the perceived value in the long run. I would bet that the three million dollar books all hit those prices exactly because Dave's books have not been graded.

action1kid Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 But to be fair to CGC another huge collector John Verzyl has confidence in them. They graded his AA# 16 Mile High copy. Im sure that was hand delivered . Maybe he even watched the intire grading process.I know I would if it were allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
