Attribution details include the J-1439 Judd attribution, features that matter to specialists in this series. The Bass pedigree adds a further layer of provenance, a point of real interest to collectors who track important cabinets. The Rarity-7 designation supplies an important measure of survival and availability. The certification data place it alone at the top of the grade listing.
