If the listing does not display nicely after a few moments, it may not be capable of presenting this listing properly. I bought copies of this book when it was first published and immediately stored this one away unopened , where it has been virtually undisturbed for the almost 35 years since. And for the record, I know this is a first printing, because I've owned 2nd printings as well. When I got it out to evaluate for sale, it looked at first like I had a sure-fire CGC 9.6 copy. I actually have a 9.6 copy of this book to compare it to, and from the front, they look the same, so I was excited. It is absolutely beautiful with no blemishes at all that I could find -- gorgeous! However, on the back I found a handful of light specks, probably from being slid out of a pile of other copies when I originally bought it and a couple of spots of faint color loss, which I've highlighted in a close-up. My 9.6 copy only has a single mark like that, so this seems like it's just a bit lower, so no 9.6 after all, but dang, it is still a top-notch copy, even if not absolutely perfect. Bottom line is that this one won't get you a CGC 9.8 or even a 9.6, but it's certainly beautiful nonetheless, so if you're looking for a high-grade unopened copy, this might work for you. And if you like to slab your books, this would make a great CGC candidate! Check out my Other Items!
