and I can't say this enough. Totally dislike the new label.

 

Can barely make out the Pedigree.

[Robot Man]

A breathtaking copy of one of my top 5 favorite GA books!

You and me both don't like it at all

Not the book love that!!!!!!!!

I wonder how often pedigrees will be overlooked because of their having moved where the designation appears?

 

Not on a book of this magnitude, of course, but on other books I think it might easily happen. (I always try to answer my own questions! )

 

Edited to add: It looks like this is one of the books where "Larson" was erased. Too bad, imo.

[kinzebac]

I wish CL did scans of the back cover like CC.

Just about every new scan I see the new label(s) irk me. Aside from that this book is special.

If you look at the "U" in "Fun", it looks like you can faintly see "Lamont"

[Robot Man]

Is erasing now considered "dry cleaning" and now OK to get a blue label?

[porcupine48]

Dammm...how can there be erased without restore....N.O.D. we need you...,

[Tsp99]

Looks like the top staple is starting to rust and the bottom already is? Need a 2nd opinion....

[TheWatcher]

Bottom staple looks like it has rust on it. Wonder if it has always been present

[atomised]

I wonder why the owner had this book reslabbed as it was already a 9.2

Unless he had it pressed?

I was wondering the same thing.

[SupergirlDC1959]

Is that a crack or a scratch on the CGC case starting at the letter ''R'' in the word grade (About 1 1/2 inches long)?

[sacentaur]

Dammm...how can there be erased without restore....N.O.D. we need you...,

 

Because the erased name wasn't on the book at time of manufacture.

 

In other words, the name was added and then erased later.

 

Unfortunate, but not restoration.

Heritage did quite a few free reholders for a number of their authorized dealers and higher volume collectors so that the new holders would get out and be seen. It is very probable that this was a simple free reholder.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks Richard.

[TeddieMercede]

[Chicago Boy]
