There's a few things going on with this, especially on the back cover around the first paragraph of the advertisement, text is smudged, and either creased or a sealed tear (?)  Several spine ticks breaking colour more evident on back cover. Couple of light creases brfc., tanning to the top of interior fc.

I'm at 6.5 at best.

What's the PLOD for? CT?

Among other things, I’m sure. I bought it as restored about 20 years ago, but that’s all I’d know until the CGC verdict.

You nailed it, sir. Well done!

(my apologies for the blurry scan... this HP scanner doesn't do slabs for poo ... how do you guys photo your slabs? If I use a camera, there's a massive glare!)

It will be interesting to see what this can fetch... like my AF15 (R), it presents way better than 6.0. If it had gotten an 8.0 or something, the discount would be monstrous.

Reglossed. 

Hey congrats on the book though ;)

I remember being willing to put a down payment on a 2.5 FF#1 at the LCS that offered a 3 month payment plan, but I chickened out even though it was only $2000, wah wah wahhhahaha!
