Signatures rate 7 to 9/10 out of 10. Book displays scattered wear to exterior as would be expected given the handling involved. Similar light to moderate wear to interior pages and as natural side effect of having the book passing through so many hands the binding has come loose at areas and numerous pages are loose. One of the most aggressive autograph projects we have seen undertaken and literally impossible to duplicate. Book could likely be rebound professionally and would certainly merit such treatment: Sigs. EX-NM/MT, Book see description ($1,500-$2,500)Final Bid: $938.00
