I reported it too. Let's see if that helps.

It's nice to have this number one copy.  It's 76 years old book.

Yes, it's difficult to spot the defects on the white/beige cover.   I do see the crease and some water spots.

It's impossible to grade not have this book in my hands.  I give it the grade range - 5.5 to 6.5.   Are you intending to submit this book to CGC?

I’m tempted to submit it (I’ll keep you updated if I do). It could also be a great candidate for the grading contest! 😂

The biggest flaw is the noticeable lack of cover whiteness. I’m not sure about the differences between cream, tan, and brown covers

At least from what I can tell, this is tanned. Is that a bend crease through the TRFC? Is that a water spot(s) along the bottom edge of the back? The coloration of the cover makes seeing defects tricky.

Yes to both questions. Agree it’s tough to spot defects. Especially the crease. 

Many thanks 

Tiny chip (top fc), spine/staple creases, sun shadow/tanning bc

Thx!!

A pretty exceptional copy of Jo-Jo 11, the great Kamen bondage cover, with a gorgeous wrap and spine. 

 

🤩 👏🏻 👏🏻

What comic is that, Mavrick?

Secrets Hearts 11 (inner back cover)…took me a while to find a semi decent copy let’s see what CGC thinks

That is so cool.  Blank interior covers...

From the see-thru of the front cover, it looks to match the US #1.  When the bosses approve the add of #1-6, you'll have to index it with a blank page.

Do you see any hint of a publisher anywhere?  Sometimes I'll find bits of info hidden in the spine gutter (don't press the book's spine too hard....)

Bingo - info listed - barely visible on the back cover

There is indeed a listing for Lovelorn by Export.  While I'm not logged in, it shows only a #7.  There is no "skeleton" for the other issues.  First, try to add the prior issue numbers to that series.  Once it's approved, you'll be able to upload an image of the cover.  Once that's approved, go ahead with indexing the individual book (that's the really time-consuming part - page counts, artist/writing/lettering/coloring credits, etc).

52 page count

Is the series listed?  If you want OtherEric to add it, I'm going to volunteer his services. 

I have an account.  I can create whatever set you'd like to upload images of, but when you create your own account - you are assigned a "mentor" to assist in guiding you on data input.  I believe there are also some wiki pages of how-to info.  I'm not at "master" status yet, but I've been able to fumble through creating some UK series books that were not there

It is listed (Lovelorn 1 ACG) I attempted to add it earlier today after I created an account but I think I messed it all up.  I’ll probably receive an email with “WTF” in the header.  
 

Both books look identical  ( the Canadian Version has blank pages on the inside front and back covers).  Believe it’s published through Export Publishing Enterprises. 
 

As you can tell, I have limited knowledge in this area…🤦🏻‍♂️

If you have the time to put them into GCD, all us nerds of "foreign" books would be super excited and pleased to see it!  I have done a few (fully indexed), and it is time-consuming.  At the very least, if there are no pictures of the books you have - upload a scan (please).

CGC has their own methods of identifying comics.  There were/have-been many threads trying to inform/guide CGC of "best practices", but alas....  Poor Yorick will need to label his comics himself.   

LOL yes sir I’ll give it a go…at first glance it does look like a bit of work 😝 

I have a few books that aren't listed in the GCD (eg they're Canadian variants).
 

Do they need to be registered there if I request CGC to include "Canadian Edition" on the label?

Thanks

This was fun thank you CGC Mike et al

Key takeaway for me: I won’t stop applying the wisdom from those graders on "Hey Buddy" any time soon.

Beauties!!!! Tough to find (if not impossible) to find them in that condition. 👏🏻 👏🏻

Never heard of her!

Bummer that CGC didn't note the Price Variant, but at least the difference is discernible by the cover.  That is a super nice copy!

Thanks. I'm definitely going to try to send this back to them to correct the label. It was noted, but unfortunately, the grading team missed it.
