How does a new style label generate a grading number of 0000003001??? Doesn't that serial number belong on an old-style label? Oh, and by the way, that book never left the assembly line with any of those 3 open edges it has now, in my opinion 3 impossible FF 1 edge configurations as the book was printed in 1961. That top edge has all the earmarks of being the handiwork of the infamous "Slash", and you can count 500,000 times on it being an engineered 9.6, all with CGC's blessings! Of course, that's only my opinion and just what do I know anyway?

It was originally one of the early graded books. Doug stated that the case had a lot of scratches, so he had it reholderd, thus the early serial number.
Personally, I would have dealt with the scratches and left it with the old label.......let someone else buy it and reholder it. I'd feel more confident purchasing it with the old label. Just MHO.

It is reholdered, but still has the old-style inner well.

The book really is unique! What he's got there is the only high grade FF1 in the world without a trace of interior page protrusion on all three open edges. How quaint. Unfortunately, the book wasn't manufactured that way. Shades of FF 3 and 10!

So, you're saying that the un-natural configuration is that the INTERIOR pages are not protruding on any open edge.
That would mean that the INTERIOR pages have been trimmed?
