A little over a week apart.   Both with MC but the better PQ actually sold for less.    The higher sale was part of the Signature auction.....

I like the $49k copy better. Better PQ and no tanning on the right edge.

Surprised my wife with a Christmas gift to her years ago. She was over the moon and made up for the goofy slippers (she reminds me)  I gave her the year before LOL.

Just shows the unpredictable nature of auctions .... it takes at least two to tango and to push a book to a higher hammer price ..... the $49K is definitely lower than one would expect in Feb 2024 though .........

wow, how the mighty have fallen

I don't think it's that much of a fall.  Looking in the Heritage archives, they auctioned an 8.0 last June.  It sported a 'CVA exceptional' sticker.  Sold for $312,000.

correct me if I am wrong but weren't 8.0s going for 450-500k+ a couple years back ?

Yep, one even went for $610k. Confucius say "be patient". My 8 is still here, where it lives.

And it the same auction - this earthbound, mere-mortal 3.5 had a nice night.   Best result since last summer.

Wow! With light tan to off-white pages too. I rarely ever see this designation

You are correct.  Here's a sampling of 8.0 sales that I jotted down in my notes, sorted by date.

this was a gorgeous presenting copy for the grade, in spite of the lousy label designation. really nice looking copy!
