Do the tears line up to indicate the loose page is definitely original to that copy? If the torn page turns out to be married you will get a purple Green label. 
 

Fixed that for you.

Every comic I've ever seen with married pages, wraps or covers, has gotten a Green label.

What's coming up out of the Hulk's pants?  

I thought covers were supposed to make people want to buy the comic, not run away from the comic.  This cover is so bad.

5,5!!!! 

But with "Slightly Brittle pages" 

4.0 it is.

Sent this in for grading and got a 4.0.  Not bad.

Bandits Boobs will forever be encased in plastic never to be seen again.

I sent 6 of these in....

3 got 9.6 and 3 got 9.8.  

3.0 conserved (some archival tape)

And finally I'm in; and a UK Price Variant to boot 

Wow, that's really high grade for a Pence copy.  Sweet!

(Great price too)

Perfect corners, maybe 1 light spine tic.  Why not 9.8?

You could let them do it their way, but first make a quality color photocopy of the signed page to keep with it. Or just send in the single page, as suggested earlier.

I find the actual cover to be pretty ugly.  I'm a Dave Stevens fan, I want to see the ad not the ugly cover.

The comic is nearly worthless so I may just remove the wrap, or...... just keep it in mylar.

Thanks Matt.

One more question:

What if I disassemble the comic and ONLY send in the wrap with the signature.  Can have it oriented to the front of the slab?  

Well, here's the answer to this query from CGC.

"Our graders have confirmed we would not be able to encapsulate the book like this. The cover would be folded back to the front for encapsulation to prevent damage to the book in our holders. Additionally as for the label information/designation, we would note something to the effect of "Name and inscription on Page _ in Pen". While this still would be considered a blue label we would not be able to note the signer's name on the label. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause." 

By the way, does anyone know who "Bill" is and why Dave would be thanking him?

Hi CGC

I bought this complete copy of Starslayer 1 that has the 1st appearance (in an Advertisement) of Rocketeer 1.  

It's signed by Dave Stevens and neatly folded back upon itself to the Ad page.  So the comic is kind of "inside out".

I was thinking of sending it in for slabbing just like this.  I DON'T want CGC to fold it back to the actual cover.  I want the Ad page with the signature to the front of the slab like it is right now.  

Now, I realize it won't get a SS label (since it's an unwitnessed sig), and I also realize it will get a low grade since the comic will be inside out, but..... it's the way I want it in the slab. 

Perhaps with the note "Thanks Bill..... Dave Stevens 89" on the label.

(I'm going to put this in the "Ask CGC" thread, but thought I'd put it here too)

Have any of you done something like this before for an interior sig?

I just sold a lot of 5 NM for $66 on ebay.

I paid $1 each for them.  I'm feeling pretty good.  I've got about 30 more of them.  I'll list another 5 tomorrow.

Now.... what do I do with the 100 Alpha Flight 1s I have?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166327799848

It's incomplete, but still...... Gerber 10s you don't get a shot at every day.

Picked this up in a collection I bought recently.

For whatever reason my front cover photo looks wonky.... the book is actually squared up nicely.

It's not perfect but looks pretty decent.  There's a spot on the back cover in the lower left that looks like a stain but it doesn't go thru to the inside cover.  Foxing?

This is a really nice looking copy with perfect corners. The one spine tic brought it down I guess.
