    Wow that’s a grail for me. If I didn’t just buy a DD1 I’d be buying this! GLWTS! 

    Batavia, NY auction

    I’m not a big player here on these boards but I have purchased a lot of stuff from the forums and a lot of my ASM run has come from here. 

    I was the victim of purchasing this book. Thank god for these boards or I never would have known until I sent it into CGC and that would’ve been terrible. The situation is a convoluted mess so bear with me for the story. The book passed through three hands before getting to me. 

    Let me just say that this #1 was one of three books that I needed to complete my ASM run. I had opportunities to buy some copies recently but I really thought that this would have a chance of a 4.0-4.5 after a press so I was willing to overpay for my Ultimate Grail.  I traded my 5.0 Tec 359, Raw GSX VF-, plus the most cash I’ve ever spent on a comic to be able to acquire it. 

    The jerk who purchased it from the auction was in Rochester and sold it to a guy as unrestored. A local dealer I have worked with for years was keeping an eye out for a copy for me and he was really great friends with this guy. He didn’t want to give up the ASM 1 but he ended up trading an AF15 & The ASM 1 to the local dealer for a Hulk 1 4.0. I ended up buy the copy from the local dealer. 

    I asked about resto and looked it over myself but I was only looking for bleeding through the cover and tear seals. I didn’t catch it and it ended up being the most expensive mistake of my comic buying career. At the end of the day it’s on me to be more informed as a buyer. It really sucks but I have a great friend who is attempting to remove the resto from the book. It will definitely plummet the grade but at this point I’m just hoping for a blue label. 

    If you’re still reading, thanks for listening. It’s been an incredibly tough week because of this. Live and you learn I guess. It’s just incredibly disappointing that it happened with my grail.
