Owner's Description

Highest graded SS copy. Western Penn pedigree. Just 2 9.8's exist. I had the pleasure of getting Stan to sign both of the 9.8 CGC SS that exist. This copy was signed in July of 2012 and I believe I sold it the following year as I did the other Cap 100 I had Stan sign. Years later this copy surfaced for auction and I had my eye on it the moment I saw it.
1 week prior to the auction's end, Stan passed. As one can imagine bidding on anything signed by Stan was fierce and this book was no exception. The finality of this opportunity hit home, This would most likley be my only shot I would ever have at landing this copy and the idea of having a 3rd 9.8 up my sleave for Stan to sign was moot. Final day of the auction and not only this but 5 other Key Stan books I once owned and sold were also closing. I was a bit nervous and well caffinated. NOTHING, barring an insane prices, would keep me from this copy back.. The underbidder and I battled it out in a live auction at Heritage. In the end it cost multiple times the originally price I sold it for but in the end, it was worth it. Stan's signature is displayed prominently on Cap's shield, ......as it should be. Stan, R.I.P. you have left a legacy behind that will influence generations to come, and made a kid out of me all over again!.
