  1. Last week I bought a #8 from eBay. I message the seller first to make sure it was a first print. He assured me it was..

    I received the book this week. I opened it immediately to check the printing.... It was a second print. :mad:

     

    So I had the seller give me a refund.. and I put that towards a different #8 on eBay. I made sure to message this new seller to confirm it was a first print. The new seller confirmed that it was. So I received it today, opened it...... Another Second F'n Print!! :frustrated:

     

    WTF!!!!!

     

    You should be able to tell the printing by looking at the UPC box. The second print has 00812 inside the box.

     

    That is, if they're showing the actual image in the listing.

     

    Wow that's great info.. I never knew that!

     

    Thank you!

  2. love that second print!

     

    I know.. but I don't need two second prints when I don't even have one first print!

    I really wish there was a way to tell by the front cover :(

     

    I just don't understand why two separate buyers would tell me it was a first print via message. Wouldn't you make sure before just saying yes?..ugh

    Happened to me too man. Kept it and got another one first print

     

    I kept the first one that was wrong.. just had the seller give me a significant partial refund..

     

    I'll have to return this new one.. I just feel like all the first prints on eBay are actually second prints.

     

    Anyone have a first print for sale?

  4. UPDATE:

     

    I just spoke to the head modern grader and he said as long as you request it and that information is correct that they will go ahead and add it.

     

    If you do decide to do that though, just so that there isn't any confusion can you go ahead and when you ship that in put ATTN: BREE on the package so that I know what you are asking and I will take care of it for you.

     

    Thanks

     

    In case anyone else wants to do it, the issues I inquired about are:

    Issue #1:

    Marko, Alana, Hazel, Prince Robot IV, The Will, Lying Cat

     

    Issue #2:

    The Stalk

    Izabel (Cameo)

  6. I submitted the request and received this message:

     

    HI,

     

    In order to request that first appearances or etc be added to the labels you would have to send the books in for us to grade. With a note asking that those appearances be noted. If the graders fill it is relevant they will then add it. If you already have a book that is graded that you wanted the label changed or things added you must send that back with a note and you will be charged the $12 reholder fee if the label gets changed.

     

    Thanks

     

    So what do you guys think?

     

    About what? Seems straight forward.

     

    The part that has me concerned is: "If the graders feel it is relevant they will then add it"

     

    So does that mean I could submit a bunch of books and they could come back without the first appearance notes on it?

  8. What does it take to get CGC to note the first appearances on a label? I would love to slab some of my Sagas and be able to see "First Appearance of The Will.. Gwendolyn.. The Stalk.. etc"

     

    Did a quick search. Send them this list. I think I covered the major appearances.

     

     

    ***First appearances

     

     

    Marko- issue #1

    Alana - issue #1

    Prince robot -issue #1

    The will- issue #1

    Lying Cat- #1

    Stalk - issue #2

    Gwendolyn-issue #8

    Izabel #2

    First sextillion- #4

    Slave Girl - issue #4

    Klara- issue #6

    Barr- issue #6

    D. Oswald Heist - issue #12

    The brand - issue #17

    Dengo (the janitor)- issue 19

    Ginny - issue 19

     

     

     

    Wonderful!

    So do they need to get a certain amount of requests before they start adding this info to the label? If so, where can I send the request?

     

    Oh, and I'm thinking issue #2 would be 1st Izabel in cameo, no? And #3 being first full appearance? Do we have to differentiate when making the requests, or does CGC do it's own research?

  9. All of this is so unbelievably awesome! :cloud9:

     

    I wonder how much effort Marvel has put into getting the Silver Surfer film rights back from Fox? It is hard to picture the Infinity Gauntlet story without him.

    You know how the movie industry is. They don't have to strictly follow the storyline from comics. They can do whatever they like.

     

    I think Aunt May would be a good sub for Silver Surfer lol.

     

    K.

     

    Sony owns Aunt May doh!
