GreatEscape Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 GE; Now that's a real sharp looking book for a 6.5 F+ and a great pickup. I have been looking for one of these for years now at a reasonable price without any luck. I remember Fishler had the D copy at one time, but was asking for a really outrageous price considering the condition. What are the major flaws on this copy since it definitely looks nicer than a 6.5 from the front cover image? Did you have to pay a significant premium to condition guide for this copy? Congtars again on your pickup. Thanks, Lou_Fine. I've always wanted a copy and looked closely at Metro's D copy (6.5 also) but this copy looked cleaner and brighter....the yellow background really pops in person. I acquired the book in a trade involving my All Select #4 and some cash. Paid well over guide but it's a keeper. Census shows only an 8.0 and the two 6.5s... hard to pass up.
