there you go...maybe a scan of heritage archives will provide some coding info?

[nearmint]

The #35 and #41 have both been cleaned. You can still barely make out "Larson" on both, but no coding is visible. The #38 is blue label, "Larson" is clearly visible, but again no coding.

Very nice book!

Here's my question, what was the reason for having the Larson tec 35 cleaned when it's incredibly immaculate?!

 

The only person that comes to my mind when it comes to restoration on amazing books and literally 'killing' them is John Snyder.

 

I heard he is famous because he color touched a lot of pedigree books for no reason when they didn't need anything done to those high caliber books.

 

Did he do that to the tec 35 Larson?

[nearmint]

Like many Larsons, the Tec #35 had foxing. On top of the wet cleaning, some spot bleaching work was done to remove the foxing.

Gotcha! Thanks Jeff!

 

Any ideas what the grade was before the cleaning?

[nearmint]

As far as I know, CGC has only graded it once, and it's still in an old label slab. What it graded at raw is a matter of opinion, depending on how you view foxing.
