Presser's are starting to get wise on this book. Census for 9.8 copies has close to doubled in 2018.

I remember when you couldn’t give those books away. Literally for decades.

Well there is still a huge abundance of them in raw condition but because they were (mostly) sitting in sealed polybags all these years the condition of these books has suffered. Finding a 'virgin' 9.8 is almost impossible now without the pressing treatment.

These 3 I sent in were out of about 20. The 2 9.8's probably would have garnished 9.8's without the press, but I wanted to make sure. :D

The 9.6... the press didn't help. :!:
