This is a very early version of the CGC slab ... it has no inner well, which was later engineered to compensate for "shaken slab syndrome"... where the book could slide around inside the slab, causing damage. In coins, very early generation slabs have an added value due to their antiquated status. 

Your book is also the "Cape Cod" copy, from an original owner collection unearthed a few years before CGC opened, otherwise, it may have been a recognized Pedigree. Someone should nail this book. GOD BLESS ...

I've owned Cape Cod's before ... they're very fresh and supple. Rich Semowich brought them to market in 1997. Most have the distinctive "ND"written on the cover.

CAPE COD PEDIGREE

GOD BLESS ...
