Quick Google image search shows one Youngbloods 0 on ebay with a Liefeld sig

Finally found the Transformers 5 I’d been searching for just last  week at con, practically screamed at me. His Armor Wars was the first TPB I bought, it is well-read and well appreciated.

I’m down at the Bay scrolling, scrolling, … wait that’s not right!  A #4 labeled as a #1
CGC or (at $150 ask for a 4.5 I wouldn’t rule out)shenanigans?

A few I don’t see yet for this new Reflections thread, some of their closer pairs have been posted already.

Happy Halloween

New unexpected grocery store finds today!

I like the new Time Shifter

"Puny Banner relax. Hulk is strongest masseuse! Hulk SMASH STRESS!!!!"

It’d be fabulous if you all could help a brother out with a freaky sitch.

A while back I picked up this FFFB #1 with a 75cent candy shell and chewy pink filling. Presumably a 13th print, as per CGC and GCD consensus.

Oddly it’s numbered “1014” out of what I understand to be a limited run of 1,000.

Also my Letter of Authenticity, with matching stamp, appears to be inauthentic as it has no raised seal and the letterhead does not match one currently displayed on eBay that does have a seal, which is also stamped somewhat differently than a third LoA example found at CBR.

I can wrap my head around the printed LoA, but the book itself appears perfectly norml other than the out of sequence stamp. Would there have been 13th prints with no number stamp, that someone stamped and printed a letter to accompany… for …some… weird reason? Were the folks at ROP mixing work with pleasure and let the press run a few extra copies? Book isn’t really worth shenanigans.

what am I missing? Appreciate any dank thoughts passed.

Key, baby!

The entire run was published under Gold Key, either prior to or along with any Whitman counterparts. It wasn’t uncommon for either house to skip publication of an issue or two during a series, so Whitman may have skipped over those two issues. Neither 10 or 11 appears on the CGC census and I don’t see them listed anywhere else under Whitman, just GK.
