Nice looking 2.5 for sure. I'm very familiar with that copy. It's a copy I almost bought back when it was fresh to the market. Oh well.. I still want it, but can't pay current price. Does it still belong to Court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to downgrade the book at all as it is still a beautiful copy, but if the book were to be regraded right now and because of the new tape rule, the book will likely get a 1.8. So if I was a serious buyer I'd price it as a 1.8.. Edited March 15, 2017 by Dark Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, pretty sure 1.8 (at least at some point) but if it started out as a 1.5 amazing how it got 2 bumps in grade.

I bought the book as a 1.5 from heritage (fc was detached)..it was never a 1.8, I'm afraid... an action 1 had just recently gone from 1.5 to 2.5 by having the FC "taped" back to the book... so I figured I could do the same thing... and so, added just a sliver of tape and had it graded...came back 2.5 (there was already a precedent set with the action 1)... keep in mind, this was 6 or 7 years ago, before cgc's stance on tape changed...wouldn't work in today's environment, and I believe book would still be a 1.5 Edited March 16, 2017 by G.A.tor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a full spine, CGC will not give a higher grade then a 1.5, and of course not after they change their tape grading policy stance. Your Gatror magic worked. I meant being a 1.5 was to harsh, for it's the nicest 1.5 out there...with great eye appeal for the grade and it should be priced at a 1.8 price. Not calling it higher than the initial grade, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One should buy the book structure and appeal. There's a nice 4.0 out there at Metro. Maybe 350k FMV for this copy? But anything is possible.
