Ok - here's a link I found.  Looks like it was distributed to US Embassies to introduce Kennedy to international leaders

JFK Pre-Assassination 1961 US Embassy Comic Book (ep.tc)

Yep, I've done a terrible job of Googling by the looks... interesting stuff though! I just might contact the owner of that page and pick his brains a little, I wonder if many more have surfaced since that post was published  Thanks again! @MattTheDuck

Maybe I'm not doing a good job Googling but could anybody point me in the right direction as to what this might be or who published it?

How much are those colour breaks in the black gonna kill it I wonder... 

Pretty beat, but complete! 

Not the best pictures in hindsight, but wondering how much the cover tracing will knock the grade? 

IGNORE 😊

Would it be possible to remove the ink and indentions left behind by the tracing seen in the attached picture? Would the overall grade take a big hit as is? Thanks all!

What is going on with the back top edge of your book? That black should not be there....should look like this

 

Looks like the back cover's been cut/ripped across the top, that black's from the interior page (I think? )

Title pretty much says it all! 😊 You guys think the covers been trimmed or a miscut? Also I've never known Canadian variants of GA Superman? Would I be right in assuming they're not as coveted as the US edition?

Not my books but have some with this exact stamp on the cover. (I would've posted mine but in work and just got to thinking!) 

Could probably benefit from a C&P 

Thanks guys! 😊 

Morning all,

Would anyone know of any CGC dealers in Ireland that I could use to submit comics through to be graded by CGC? The only one I know of in the south isn't currently taking submissions for awhile. TIA  

The price is roughly $800 but seller assures me that the tear was the only defect when submitting, just can't see CGC making that kind of mistake

Not ideal, but it's useful enough.  Now we know three things (with certainty) that we did not know before: (1) the book in question is a U.K edition; (2) the missing piece contains part of at least one story panel (and therefore affects a story); and (3) the missing piece is significant enough that CGC deemed this copy to be INCOMPLETE. 

See the tear at what looks like the bottom staple, which (like LGB said) I could happily live with but a large piece from the top corner is a different ball game. I've heard stories of CGC making mistakes but this, I don't think so. Funnily enough I thought the graders notes would mention the tear pictured but it didn't?

I agree with LGB above -- that's not a missing piece but a simple tear.  And it's not at the top right of leaf 14 (interior pages 27/28).  I'm looking for a scan of the encapsulated book (the entire slab, including the label).

That's the best I got 😊

Thanks for the feedback all, much appreciated! This is a picture taken before submission of the noted defect but the graders notes states, "large piece missing from top right of page 14" can't be the same thing, can it?

Usually buy books raw but am currently being tempted by a 4.0 Qualified Amazing Spider-man #5 (missing some of page 14) How much of an affect does the 'green label of death' have on a comics value? So let's say the FMV for 4.0 Universal is $1400, would $1000 be Green or even less?

This may sound like a ridiculous question so go easy! But I'm looking to trade a copy of FF52 (not through a LCS but to other collectors) but as I always usually buy not trade is it as simple as pricing it roughly to the grade it fits and work off that or is trade value lower than FMV? Once again I know it sounds ridiculous but I'd rather ask!

Two more to finish out the week! 

I'm going to go with a 1.8 on this one 

The colour loss on that bottom right corner looks like it's disappeared after C&P, congrats on the grade! But I have to ask, is it the same book?
