I think the long break kind of killed the momentum on this series.

Well, the scumbag struck again. He hit a few more stores. Walked out with a box of graded books (pic to follow) from Cosmic Comics. Tried to steal some books from Stunt Dog Comics, but, the owner packs and stopped him. Heard he also hit Fire Force Comics and Action Comics, and possibly Velvet Underground Comics. Guy seems to know books as he was tryinh to steal some high dollar books from Stunt Dog.

I just got one of the non-BOMC books in the mail today. Now to figure out where it came from.
Nothing in the e-bay ad mentioned anything, but, it didn't have the price and mature warning on the back cover, so, I took a chance. Took a long time to get one, but, seems they (and the BOMC edition) are popping up more frequently lately.

That's why I do all he bad things when I'm awake, since you are probably sleeping then.

I'm still hunting for one of those non BOMC books. I thought I found one, but, it was a BOMC version. We (me and RMA) tried reaching out to BOMC to see if they could give us any info on the KJ books, but, we got no repsonse.
Very interesting on the Year One book. So far we only found the Killing Joke BOMC

Back in April at the Las Vegas Amazing Comic Con, my nephew and I submitted a Last Ronin #1 sig series book (Eastman signing) using a 3rd party facilitator (Cosmic Comics in Las Vegas. I went to the store today and was told they were informed it could take another 6-7 months for the book to be returned. The CGC website shows turn around times as 30 days. Since it was submitted using a 3rd party, I do not have the order number. I only have the submission number from the submission form (2747267)
What is the actual turn around time? Is it 30 days or so or 6-7 months? Any info you can provide would be appreciated.

if you were charged less than $100 then it was submitted under a category where max value is $1000 - which is probably how the offer to you was determined
Not exactly accurate. $70 fee for $4000 max value.

Hi Aszumilo and Stronguy. On June 4, Ebay had a 4th printing Killing Joke with the BOMC back cover for sale, There was a third photo which showed a partial inside front cover, and there was no BOMC text below the letterer line. I was going to buy this anyway, but seeing that me go, “buy it now!” I now have 8 BOMC style back cover 4th printings, 6 that have the BOMC inside front cover, 1 without, and a slabbed 9.6 that I am not cracking open to check. The slab doesn’t say BOMC Edition on it, but it could be from prior to CGC adding that category. Oddly enough, like the copy Stronguy bought, mine also came from Canada. Specifically, Quebec.
I've been trying to hunt down one of those 4th printing that does not have the BOMC text on the inside cover. No luck so far. Not sure where that book comes from, as i can fond no info on it.

Incredible!
I wonder why they used the recent Ryan Sook drawn homage variant featuring Harley Quinn for one of the Mexican editions, though.
I would imagine that it was because that was the 25th anniversary of Harley Quinn. Still seems odd since she has nothing to do with the story.

CGC now recognizes this as the 14th Print
Newsstand Editions – CGC Does not recognize these as Newsstands currently
6th Print Newsstand– Orange Title - Only issue with UPC on Front Cover - CGC now notates this as a newsstand edition, but, it is not going to get its own slot in the registry.
UPC - 0 73361 0 73361 64995 9 95 6499

4th Print – Orange Title - Book of the Month Club Edition – No price or Suggested for Mature Readers on back Cover
BOMC shown in the Indicia on inside front cover
There is another 4th print that appears similar to the BOMC edition. It, like the BOMC edition has no price or mature reader warning on the back. It does not have the BOMC text on the inside cover. There is no idea of where this book came from, so, if anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Other helpful Information due to inaccurate descriptions on E-Bay (This applies mainly to US and UK editions)
1. First print is green and only green. If it is not green it cannot be a 1st Printing. There is no Newsstand edition of the 1st print.
2. Printings that have UPC stickers placed on them are not Newsstand Editions. As of now, only 6th, 11th, and 13th printings are they only ones with verified Newsstand Editions.
3. There is no Brian Bolland Variant. He was the artist, and only artist, to draw the covers on the 1st thru 14th printings.
4. Hardcovers will not be graded by CGC, so, any listing saying to "CGC IT" is WRONG.
5. There are no "color" variants. Ink levels dropped during printing, so, some covers are lighter than others.
6. 2nd Printing is Pink, not Orange.
7. 6th Printing is Dark Orange, not Red.
8. 3rd, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th prints are all Yellow. You can tell the differences by looking for certain things
A. 3rd Print is the only one that costs $3.50 and does not have the Mature Reader warning on the back cover. No UPC
B. 7th print cover price is also $3.50, but, has the Mature Reader warning on the back cover. No UPC
C. 10th and 11th printings have the ISBN number on the lower left front corner. Both have cover price of $4.95
D. 10th print has the same UPC code as the 9th print (7 61941 20212 00119)
E. 11th print UPC is 7 61941 20212 00121
F. 12th and 13th print cover price is $5.95
G. 12th print UPC code is 7 61941 20212 00122. 13th print UPC code is 7 61941 20212 001249. Unless someone has print numbers, no, one really knows which is the rarest print. Just because a listing says so, does not make it true.
Many listings for the 9th print claim it is the rarest. Again, no one knows if this is true right now.10. CGC grades this book hard. Pay close attention for scratches and finger prints on the back cover. This will drop the grade regardless of what the front looks like.
I hope this helps everyone that is shopping for these books. Good Luck!

I've been here a couple of years now, seen many Greggy haul posts (to the point where I'm like - ok, I'm finding/buying some of the same stuff Greggy is posting, so I must be on an OK track) - and I've always wanted to ask: where do you consistently find high-grade keys like this? I'm not expecting a real answer - gotta protect those fishin' holes. But man, you always find/post such nice books! Congrats!!
If Greggy is not your hero, he should be. Plus, I hear he smells like Strawberry Shortcake. Interpret that as you wish.
***UPDATE*** Stolen Book in Las Vegas - Mad#1 3.5 - He strikes again - More books added

Well, he is over $2900 now. They do have some info on the guy, so, hopefully they get him.
