That book is been on my want list for a long time, but every copy that I've seen offered for sale has had a transfer stain, some much darker than the one on this copy.

I used to have a beautiful copy I got from Jim Payette. I foolishly sold it. This one is a placeholder, but I agree that the transfer stain is an eye sore.

Ohh, rating GA books on cover alone - that means an excuse to post my custom babies! WILD CARD, SUCKERS!!! 
These GA babies are now hitting AAAA+++ since they actually feature the awesome first appearances within! As for actual grade rating, you can see that here as well (covers detached, obviously :D )

(also can somebody confirm it is okay to post these slab pictures, I could not find any non-sales board rules anywhere for it - if not cool I'll pull em asap. I know selling any non-CGC books is a no-no, but I've seen pictures of PGX stuff as well for discussion and other random slabs. These are obvious NFS and are for my PC only).

Those are great (love your work on ‘em), but look for a cease and desist from Matt Nelson or perhaps Blackstone’s legal department for the unauthorized use of an oversized grade box even if it isn’t neon white.  Note: Of course, I’m joking (I hope).

Ah but you see, these don't contain their patented rounded corners - it's the border radius that must be tied up in legal! These use a generic public domain square! :D
