Owner's Description

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

This is the only book that I have ever sent to CGC that I was absolutely, 100 percent, no doubt about it, confident that it was a 9.8. This was from my original collection and when I pulled it out to consider sending it in for grading I felt that it was perfect. It had been bagged and boarded forever and I don't think this copy was ever even cracked open. I could find absolutely no flaw anywhere on this book. I was actually thinking in the back of my mind that this could be the one that gets a 9.9 or even a 10.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the 9.8 but I would really like to know what CGC found to knock this book down to 9.8. I did get this pressed like every other book I submit so maybe this was a case where I should have bypassed that to cut down on the book being handled. I guess I'll never know for sure.

The second picture is of the <i>Funeral for a Friend</i> Collector's Pack that some of these books can be found in, and which I mention in other book's descriptions. It doesn't really have anything to do with this particular book but I wanted to fit a picture of it in this set so I decided to add some color to this slot with it. I bought a couple of these but didn't have great luck pulling 9.8's out of them. They are really fun to open though and are an important piece of this set’s later printings history!
