It is obviously the same book.

 

We sold it in August, 2004, I don't know why the individual page is showing today's date when you pull it up, some kind of glitch.

 

I can't believe that CGC would call that book 3.5, when I called it a 2.0.

They buyer must have had it slabbed, and sold it to the person who originated this post.

 

I really don't think someone would take the time to press a book like that.

They are UNDOUBTEDLY the same book. The differences along the edges are caused by the ink flakes delaminating from the underlayer of paper. Heritage probably pressed them flat or wetted them so they'd stick together while making the scan (or maybe they just delaminated on their own), and they have now come apart while in the slab.

 

Heritage denies that they press their books. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

I didn't mean that they did an NDP pressing. I meant that they either pushed the delaminated pieces together by hand OR that the delaminations happened after the book left Heritage's hands.

 

Even if they pushed the delaminated pieces together by hand, I don't have a problem with that. It's the same thing as unfolding a corner crease with your fingers so that the inside pages don't show. And they obviously graded it conservatively and with a view toward all defects present.

Even being firmly in the anti-pressing camp as I am, I've been known to do this on occasion. Today even... insane.gif

I hope you're disclosing that to future buyers, or Mark Zaid will come for you. poke2.gif

I heard that in Washington DC, forgetfulness is a hanging offense. lynchstill.gif

I just got home from work, and I'm glad to see the mystery was solved.

 

 

Also, I don't think that the CGC grade is that far off. The book looks much better in person, and is structurally very sound. I wasn't expecting a 3.5, I thought it would be around a 2.5-3.0.

Thanks, but the credit really belongs to bobpfef 893applaud-thumb.gif, who pointed this whole thing out to me in the first place.

You guys were great. If I were the only one wondering about this thing, I'd still probably be convincing myself that somehow they weren't the same book. insane.gif

There is a second explanation that no one has considered.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between Water and stains, between science and coincidence, and it lies between the pit of man's posts and the lmiitation of his knowledge. This is the dimension of conspiracies. It is an area which we call the Comic Zone.
