Not sure what it is, but the Golden Record didn't have a price on it IIRC.  Never seen anything with numbers below the issue number either.

I own a Wolverine LS #3 that was graded a 9.8 with 5 color break spine ticks (4 on the front and 1 on the back cover). 

I've got the same issue, only a newsstand variant, at CGC now.  I can only hope they're as lenient on my copy.

It has a few spine ticks, a bit of a blunted corner and it looks like a touch of distributor's overspray on the back cover.  Thanks for looking!

Grades in - I had a difficult time with this round.

Yup I know mine is authentic and have the photos to prove it but this has helped make my decision to grade #1 for sale 

I'd say that's a good move!  Good luck with moving them!

It's really not all that difficult to tell a counterfeit from a real Cerebus 1 if you know what to look for.  I wouldn't buy one without having it hand to though.

2 bulleyes and 5 points.  

Yeah - sorry about the shadows.  I didn't realize how bad it was until looking on my PC screen.  It wasn't obvious from the phone.

C&P candidate 

Hard to see that going higher than 6.0.  

One bullseye but off by two grades on two books.  Overall a 6.  Coulda been worse I suppose...

Add me to the list.

I wonder if the crease on the upper left cover is not a manufacturing issue? It seems like they had to have ignored it to bring this to a 9.6.

That's certainly possible and I had that thought when I got it back.  It's an obvious thing to have missed.

6.5 - the cover discoloration was tagged as staining in the notes.

Was hoping for at least a 9.0....

A possible C&P candidate.

Will be sent for a C&P before submittal.  There are a couple of color breaking tics on the spine.  I'm not sure if the nicks on the lower cover are manufacturing issues (grippers maybe?).

Note the small chip in the RH edge of the front cover.

Seems like someone posted some "do it yourself" slabs recently.  The slabs are similar to the CGC ones.  Maybe that would be an option for you.
