Let me clarify what I said above. I found that I did have a copy of N_A27 in 
may book bag. The intro explains that the dagger in the 27th edition is to 
show readings in the footnotes that were readings in the text of the 25th, 
the last edition which did not print the same text as the UBS GNT. I checked 
several of them (Matt. 7:18 eg.) and found that many are the same readings as 
the Nestle 21 prints in the text. Now also there is a list in the back of the 
27th edition in appendix III. Editionum Differentiae that list all the places 
in where the 25 edition readings are put in the apparatus in the 27th. I 
would think that many of those readings are pre-Aland also.
