About This Book
This is a terrific copy - most likely a VF- to VF and has not been pressed. But the real appeal is that this book will absolutely glow from a press and slab. I estimate this because any of the virtues that produce the already desirable VF grade estimated here appear to be pressable - that is to say that any cover artifacts resulting in VF do not break paper or color, making the book a desirable pressing candidate. I could see this returning in the 9.0+ family with the appropriate preparation, cleaning and pressing as is typical with slab submissions.
But whether you slab it or keep it as-is, either way this is a great copy. All images presented here are of the actual book for sale.
If anyone here remembers my last few sales events then I'll tell you now, start saving your money because the TMNT event near the end of the year is going to be a killer!
Current FMV = $75
Asking $65 shipped from a Dromer
