    I have been able to Complete a run on..

    follow-up to..
     
    Comic Not FoundThis book, stands corrected. I had contacted CGC.... ..., and asked what I should do with some mislabelled books, and they said, just, 'Send them in.' So, I did. *** Now, fast forward up to today, and I can share the corrected book.. in.. A NEW CASE !! (I think it's my fifth new case) (...still A One-of-a-Kind, or an OAK if you prefer, and THE SOLE Highest Graded Copy) It's one of two File Copies I have from the period, of that particular issue. (Can I get the Donald Trump name in print, and pictures, again? Please? Never mind the 'ROMPING GIRLS', ...but) Happy Bastille Day !!, Sports Fans.

    ..., or the 1113th, 9.6, or the 3567th, overall !
    Holy Smokes!
     
    Can you believe this...?
     
    Here I show, what I think is a pretty cool book..
    only for the fact that..
    IT DOESNT
    have the Spidey-head, AND
    IT IS..
    a bar-coded, newsstand copy..
    (Ive looked for other bar-coded copies, but only have seen a few....)
     
    This one is one of the few Marvels comics that I have left.
    On its way are my CGC books #200, and #225, plus some,
    up to #247, but there are NO MARVELS, in those 6, 12-book
    invoices.
     
    Anyway, ...
    Heres Spidey!

  13. !?_Clark Kant-Waite
    Congratulations (!), but..
    I STAND CORRECTED. (updated 3 July, 2016.)
    {should I be getting 200 points, in stead of 160, for this?}
    {Why, yes. You should.... So, here you go....}
    ...NOW CORRECTED. Thank you, CGC!

    Checkered Demon #2....
    ...blah, blah-blah
    (...gotta look this one up; I think I got this
    one from the BEST OF TWO WORLDS.)
    I.. DID.. buy this as a back-issue;
    yet, I'd have to.. check and see IF..
    I have a receipt for this one....
    ... was really hard to find between 1980
    and 1984/5....
    ...rumor was that 'the bikers' got.. the
    bulk of these issues..
    , which later disappeared, and (?) were passed out,
    got trashed ~ ??
    I dunno, but..
    I LOOKED FOR THIS ONE FOR YEARS !!!!
    (..., and, eventually, I'll get out
    Kennedy's description for this one....)

    I, finally, found it,
    and here it is:
    (I think CGC got the issue date and year wrong on this one.): take note
    ***
    At first, I couldn't find this one,
    ..until now.
     
    I thought, maybe,
    I was doing something wrong
    in my search(ing)...,
     
    but, at last, here it is.
     
    Okay, so it's a 'new',
    and anyone and their mother
    could have bought it.
     
    It's not a 9.9 or even a TEN..
    Nevertheless, ..
    it's the first,
    and SO FAR the highest grade.

    Well, ..
    this is my CGC book 137, and.. It's a Duesy!
    (...as in Duesenberg, Sports Fans !!)
    Albeit.. TRES RISQUE
    (Take Note Parents;
    Unfortunately I CANNOT use THIS computer..
    to CENSOR this image, doctoring it up, so,
    Adults Only),
    this is.. A Don Donahue File Copy,
    (See Cert "1204307009" for FC status;
    this copy came from the same group,
    the same lot;
    Q: Why the other got FC status? A: I Dunno; help !!
    AND..
    Anyone, why does one get File Copy status on ANY book??)
    AND
    I really, really LIKE (...don't you like?)
    the new..
    TOTAL GRADED AT,
    (..., and how ONE could cut and paste..
    the GRADER NOTES into..
    the descriptions for the individual
    books themselves...? ..., but, for me,
    NOT on this one.)
    This one,
    Cert. 1204307010, now..
    looks like this:
    as far as the TGA goes in THIS description....

    Here it is at long last,
     
    The To Susans.......just a simple share sports fans. Here-s the C4! (see image) Nevertheless, on these FIVE issues, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, of CEREBUS THE AARDVARK, .. no one, other than me, has an even number.. [from the 11 original in the group: To Susan, {Red Sophia, AFF 1979}] SUSAN, (i.e., SOPHIA) kept the no. 1 and the no. 3, aa-and I.. sold 5, 7, 9, and 11 on ebay, in early 2004. (Soooo..) The ODDS are out there. *** Repeats, but finalizes J25 *** Member Journal Entry: TO SUSAN --By: _cantwh8C? Posted: 11/3/2014 8:53:32 PM | Views:388 You are the nicest looking girl here ...TO SUSAN -- You are the nicest looking girl here Dave Sim Here-s CEREBUS No 4, from an old CBG purchase (1983). I have only 5 of the original 11, never had the No 1 or the No 3. The susan was dressed as Red Sophia at the Atlanta Fantasy Fair [Autumn, 1979]. Dave signed No 11 The Latest Issue. I have 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 from the set; ...just sent these off to CCS, and CGC....THANKS CGC, et al..
