Still Only 35c

Would appreciate thoughts on the grade of this UK price variant from the Ian Penman Collection, Tales Of Suspense #46; will be cleaned and pressed before submission.

Last one today, another UK variant from the recent Ian Penman Collection sale for Thor 132.

From the recent Ian Penman Collection sale for Thor #129.

Super happy for the grade on this UK Price Variant from the Ian Penman collection and only one of 11 UK price variant graded copies 9.0 or above (6 x 9.0 inc 1 x sig series, 2 x 9.2 and 3 x 9.4).

Hard to give an accurate grade without seeing the back cover, so playing it safe with a 7.0 from me

Something to remember for the next grading contest.

Super pleased with this one! Again, my clean and press seemed to work its magic.

Not quite what we were expecting from this one especially with clean and press; graders notes have: fingerprints left top of front cover spine stress lines breaks color I get the spine stress lines, but I can't see the fingerprints.

Appreciate your thoughts on this one - a shot at the title? Having this cleaned and pressed to increase the odds.

This one is strange one. This was originally cracked from a 7.5 slab and sent to CCS for clean and press, however it originally came back graded 7.0 (see below). It was then resubmitted and reviewed (no press this time) and popped out back at its original grade (7.5).

Another one extremely happy with and now the proud owner of one of only 7 UK price variant graded copies 7.0 or above (3 x 7.0, 1 x 7.5 and 3 x 8.0).

Here are the before and after pics from the pressing. Amazing 🤩.

Super impressed and happy with this one, my presser did a phenomenal job to secure this grade.

Pics post clean and press.

Another superb submission post clean and press; making this one of only 3 UK price variant copies of 8.5 or over (there are 2 x 8.5s and 1 x 9.0).

Sharing the before and after pics from the clean and press. I'll try and do this for all my "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?" books from now one (if published on my presser's IG).

Grade now in post clean and press. Very happy and loving the conserved label (appears bottom staple was replaced).

+💯% CGC need to address this

Can't believe this mess and that CGC, Clayton Crain have taken a stance on this and both alongside those said influencers have all lost my respect. This C2E2 book isn't a variant, it's a bootleg/unofficial item! The Stray Dogs example CGC used to justify their actions here was an official product. CGC should recall the grades and books. In terms of Black Flag, everyone should vote with their feet and not entertain these Frankenbooks.

I hope so; I'm submitting two of these UK variants too (here is the other from the Ian Penman collection)

Final one for today and my second UK variant copy of this mega key. Thoughts on grade? Will be cleaned and pressed prior to submission.

How do you think this will grade? Again, plan to submit post clean and press

Appreciate thoughts on this copy. Will be submitted with clean and press.

Grades in.

Thought it would be interesting to also share the before and after pics from the clean and press too.
