If it was a valuable GA.

GPA at 2.5 - 3.5 is $250 - $400, so a coverless is less than half of that. It's not restored, nowhere near worthwhile. 

They are 2 different copies. There will usually be similar irregularities on mass produced items, like the ink drift in this instance. The tears at the bottom are likely "gripper holes" made by the mechanism that pulls each page after printing, and will line up quite perfectly because of automation.

That's because it's too expensive in Switzerland..... :bigsmile: :peace:

Idk but what I can told you is that the coffee outside is totally overpriced and drinking one a day is reserved to the high class, most of the people cannot afford it to themselves.

seriously 5 bucks a coffee! :ohnoez:

Yeah, I wish :whistle: . 

Obviously you've yet to go to a Starbucks or Ellianos :facepalm: ... 

Starbucks isn't really coffee...

Like McDonald's isn't really food...
