Yeah just now realizing I mistakenly clicked the wrong section to post this in lol.

Dang dude lol. Did you have stan the man sign it himself or was it second hand?

Why does this look like a blender render

Went and got my box out

What's been your luckiest (most valuable comic for a price way below fmv) purchase thus far?

Oh I honestly wasn't sure people were lol. Picked up a full set of first prints so I'll post some pics when those arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for the reply btw!

よう！ Good taste in manga. Akira truly is a masterpiece. If you haven't read it yet check out Vagabond. Awesome series about the fictionalized biography of a real Samurai named Miyamoto Musashi, art style is incredible as well.

Yeesh, okay, thank you! (Also waiting on a first printing to arrive thats in much better condition but has quite a lot of slight bends and spine stress but a press should definitely fix it.). I've been collecting since I was around 10 when my dad got me into coins and comics and I've known about CGC for quite some time but had no idea pressing was a thing, coulld have saved a daredevil #10 lol.

Thank you for the response! As far as the top left goes, is it the discoloration or the severity of the moisture damage? Yeah it technically is a dollar bin book, it just hasn't seen a reprint in a long time and the series is on hiatus so everyone is scrambling to get older issues since there are no more prints out. I planned on keeping it for future value, this series has been steadily increasing in fmv (one of the variants is at around 2,400 for a 9.4) for how new it is.

I have to agree with that, the front and back covers are in pretty good shape, looks like it has some slight spine rolling but that could just be how it was stapled together. 😄

Looks like the bc might have a small stain on red lettering. Not 100% sure, may just be image compression.

So I found this copy of saga #1 (fifth printing) recently (probably a somewhat unheard pf series to most people here but I could be wrong) and was wondering approximately what grade it is and if a pressing could fix the waves on the cover(s). I have pictures of the inside front cover and back cover as well so i can upload those if need be (not in this post because some of the dialogue is apparently uh pretty cure and explicit lol). Any helpful suggestions for self grading would also be greatly appreciated if possible.

Ah, okay. Thank you for the response!

This is making me paranoid about the box of comics my dad left me that are stuck in a storage unit. All 60s ans 70s comics he collected as a kid. Lot of early spider-man, daredevil, x-men, and human torch Issues. That's honestly super unfortunate, a peice of history slightly ruined by cruel pests of nature.
