Owner's Description

<i>From my original raw collection.</i>

I sent this in with my second submission of 20 books. There was a slight crease in the foil near the spine but I decided to give this a try with pressing to see how it would turn out. Ironically, the grader notes did not mention the crease but did state <i>very light indent center of back cover</i> which I must have completely missed. My conclusion is that CCS can press foil covers.

The submission this book was with only yielded one 9.8 which was very disappointing but also a learning experience. I then bought a lot of 10 of this issue and found one out of that batch that was worth submitting. I ended up not submitting that one because I found a better copy in a collector's pack.

The collector's pack that this book can be found in is in the second picture slot. I have opened three of these now and only found the one copy worth submitting. The covers tend to have scratches/indents, or the corners are dinged. All of the copies of this book that I have found in the wild seem to have the same crease near the spine that my original copy had near the triangle number. It technically doesn't break color because of the nature of the foil but I think it would on any other book.

The copy I submitted from the collector's pack also received a 9.6 but with no grader notes. When I received it back I noticed a small ding on the back cover that I hadn't seen before, and which I'm pretty sure will keep it from upgrading to 9.8, even with another press. The hunt for raw copies of this book continues!
