Come on guys.

Blow up the 2 scans and you can see it's 2 different books.

 

Look again. In all three pictures is the very distinctive "A" (or "S") written in pencil on the front cover. You can also see traces of dirt/debris that are clearly on the 6.5, and appear only faintly on the 9.0 copy, (The dash in the "Submariner" title for example), indicating either a dry cleaning or some sort of scan manipulation.

 

Nope. Same book. I bid $2,700 on it originally, BEFORE someone pointed out that it was a 6.5 in another life.

 

And this is part of the reason why "potentialization" is hurting the market, because a percentage of buyers just get turned off to these types of books and tighten their purse strings in response.

 

Definitely the same book.
