Cerebus3000

The back cover could also use a cleaning, but it looks like there is some tanning and/or foxing. I also think this is about an 8.0.

Hello, I won't be submitting this to CGC due to the autograph. However, I am wondering how much the colour rub hurts this comic. Back right rear corner is not a tear (just more colour rub).

With less than 24 hours before this round closes Mike has made no mention of multiple bullseyes or low scores for this round. I think those surprises are imminent.

Ohh…a Cerebus book…I’m feeling lucky now.

Grades now submitted.

In the grading contests my errors skew towards over grading, but it seems I am the pessimist today. Looks like an 8.5 to me.

6.0

8.0

I see two colour breaking ticks with another one possibly hiding in the glare…but for a cover with that much black it looks pretty nice. I’d say 9.0.

A very nice looking 7.0.

This book would benefit from a C&P for sure. Even if you don’t get it graded it will look a lot nicer. However, I think some of the grime on the back might be foxing which I don’t think can be resolved with a basic dry clean. There is also a stain above the red E in “Mega”. I’m also not sure what is going on by Wolverine’s left thumb. I would guess 7.0 after C&P, but possibly higher depending on how thoroughly it can be cleaned.

Calling occupants, of last tour-na-ment class! (Part One) Thanks for the nudge. Please include me.

Colour breaking tics are the limiting factor. As mentioned, a press won’t change that. But I think a good press would help overall and could get it to an 8.0.

9.4-9.6

7.0

Ack…and now I can’t either.

Hi again, This needs a clean and press because there are some slight finger bends that don't really show in the scan. There are a few minor spin ticks and slight corner blunting visible mostly on the rear top spine.

I am slowly compiling my first CGC submission. There is nothing like a high res scan to make you a little sad about your high grade key comics. There is slight corner blunting, at least seven colour breaking ticks, and what I hope is a production issue (like a roller issue or something) visible on the front and back. I think it still might be worthy of CGC grading.

9.4 Regarding a clean and press, the scans don’t show much need…but it could help ensure you don’t have any “light finger bends” type defects holding it back. Is it the scan/my eyes/iPad or is that back cover white with blue text? Is it a variant of a variant?

9.0 to 9.2

Looks 8.0-8.5 to me. The blemish on Blade’s boot looks like a colour breaking fingerprint. Combined with the small corner crease I do not think this can make 9.0. Very nice book!!

This was cleaned and pressed already. I don't think that stain on the back is going anywhere. It looks like it might actually be a printing error of some extra yellow ink. Thanks for your input!

I bought this one for about 50 cents out of a box of returns in the late 80's. As it was a second print, and slightly larger than normal, it didn't even get bagged for quite a while. Fortunately it stayed in decent shape, and now 2nd prints are no longer the red headed step child of comics. The main defects I see are two colour breaking spine ticks, a tiny crease top right front cover, and both spine corners are slightly blunted. Thanks for your input!

Hello, There are some slight wavy parts that you can detect in the front cover scan mostly beside The Tick's right shoulder, but I am assuming these will easily be resolved with a press. Slight blunting at all corners I would say. Thanks for your input.

Hello again, last PGM for today. This one will get a clean and a press.
