I bet it was just a resub....yeah, that's it...a resub. Old labels too. Nothing wrong with pressing anyway. those who complain about pressing are taking food out of the mouths of the children of those who have books pressed and resubbed.Why do you hate our country so much Shield?

Not sure how that book was ever a 9.0. Judging by the scans at least, it's a 9.4 all day long IMO.

It may just be a matter of the discolored spine and dust shadow on the right edge dropping the grade to a 9.0 the first time around (as it should be), and being ignored on the resub.

that's a sweet 9.0

If you look at the back cover, you can see why it got a 9.0. Unfortunately, we don't have a back cover scan of the 9.4. Judging from the dirt and spine stresses apparent on the back of the 9.0, someone would probably have to dry clean and press the book in order to get it to 9.4. There's no way to confirm that without being able to see the back cover and compare it to the front cover though.

This book is cleaned and pressed.

Arty, can you post a large scan of the back cover?

Thanks!

 

This is what frustrates me now about high grade CGC books - had I hit the BIN on that 9.4 and then found out it was formerly a 9.0, I'd always have regreted the purchase.

Actually that designation applies to my wife. I just follow orders.

I agree. Thanks for posting the back cover scan. I wasn't able to locate it on Heritage. Dry cleaned and pressed it is.

 

This book is cleaned and pressed.

For some reason original scans are removed from Heritage database. Luckily I stumbled into this resub years ago and saved them. Recognised immediatly that I have seen this one before.
