CGC . No Case nbsp nbsp This has nbsp previously nbsp been graded . by CGC. Previous owner wasn t happy with grading and removed it from case. nbsp He was of the opinion that grade should be . / .0.
I would have agreed with previous owner s opinion of . however cover whilst complete is detached at staples and interior staples at centrefold are rusty. nbsp in view of this I believe . maybe .0 is about right.
