 👀 Both slabs have very light surface imperfections towards the bottom front of only the outer slab plastic, as both came from the same recent submission - which of course does not affect the book. See scan for detail and feel free to ask any questions... or just say hello! 

Purchased a slab from Dan - it arrived in a timely manner and safely. Thanks again!

Star Wars: Clone Wars #1  - 1st appearance of Ahsoka Tano, & Captain Rex in comics.

CGC 9.0 - White Pages

$850

per PM ! 

I appreciate all the replies and opinions. I'll likely leave the book as is and get it slabbed for the collection. Definitely plan to hold on to it for a long time and would be very happy with 4.0-5.0 !

Top staple is fragile enough I'm concerned any pressing would cause it to become detached. Do you think the page fanning in this grade makes a difference in what CGC would assign? I appreciate your feedback!

Jerry helped me with a pickup from NYCC this year. Easy to work with and awesome of him to help. Would work with him any time.

Thanks again!

Good morning,

Thanks for your message.  Our graders would have to see the book in person to be sure but generally, we can grade something like this as long as it fits within the dimensions of our holders.  The maximum size we can accommodate would be:

• 11-1/2” tall
• 8-7/8” wide
• 1/2” thick

Thank you!

Thanks Jennifer. Yes, it's right around the size of a regular comic ashcan and well within all those dimensions. Thanks for your help!

I just found another one of Gaiman's earlier softcover books from the same publisher on the census called Snow, Glass, Apples - so I'm thinking the answer may be yes. 

Hello - I am wondering if CGC will grade my copy of Shoggoth's Old Peculiar by Neil Gaiman, 2004. I was not able to find any on the census. It's 5.5" x 8.5", 38 pages, similar to Ashcan size. Here is a link to the mycomicshop item: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=22780903

Thank you in advance for your help and advice. All the best

Anyone going to NYCC and willing to pickup an exclusive vinyl figure for my wife? It's an artist line she has collected for probably 8-10 years.

The item is $115 and should not be difficult to get. It's lightweight and shipping should be around $10 or less. Willing to pay $165 shipped paypal goods and services. Please PM if interested in helping out and we can chat more. Thanks

That’s right.

I’m suggesting that perhaps what’s important about this Punisher mini-series is that its level of success might’ve been quite unexpected, and rather than disappearing back into guest appearances in Spider-Man or Daredevil, etc., instead paved the way for him to star in several continued series as a result.

Apparently though, it doesn’t fit the required criterion.

No arguing the success paved the way!   Just not what I'm trying to create a resource for here. The list would indeed be much longer if that was the focus of the thread.

Usagi Yojimbo from Dark Horse, #1 and #2 say of 3, but the series went on for 165 issues 

Savage Dragon, 3 issue mini first then series 

Nothing from Bad Idea Comics 

Savage Dragon is one of those I hesitate to include since it's not the original focus of the post. It was a new series with a 6 month gap between vols 1 and 2.  But very close
We will see what happens with Bad Idea

It can be done, but it's difficult. I did it for 'fun', a complete read of all Youngblood, after reading the wonderful last volume (that deserves reading by everybody). I knew what I was in for, but it was worse than even I expected, as as you say, it took a lot to work out what belongs to what series. 

Not recommended 

Edit: Does this help prove it was a miniseries originally? There was a remastered release of the original miniseries in hardcover form, if you check the solicitation for it, you'll see it described it as containing the original YB miniseries. Yet the first series ended at around issue 22 or so. @Rhymenoceros

I think Destroyer Duck was originally going to be a one-shot fund raiser for Gerber's lawsuit against  Marvel, and then became an ongoing series for bout a year.

Post updated to include one-shots

Yeah, the whole book is like that kind of humor, if you haven't read it. They also came out with a small hardcover book called "Just the tips" full of sex "tips" and other hilarious Fraction / Zdarsky nonsense 

Just checked - they skipped from #30 to #69

Thread updated with those I was able to confirm accurate with 5 minutes of internet sleuthing. Could be wrong but  it's accurate to my best knowledge. Open for debate.

Yes, looking for series originally solicited or planned as mini series and either were bumped during the run or before the first issue came out.

Originally just a miniseries 0-5 by Liefeld (and someone else who did an issue, can't remember who) or something like that and then there's a hiatus. Could have been the normal wait time of the day back then, but it was because of that AND it because they had to put together a team, product it, etc etc. Then it ran to something like issue 23, with no issue ?15?. 

Wow, I just tried to make sense of all the Youngblood volumes and numbering but halfway through writing it all out I just said "screw it". What a mess.

Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue Deconnick had a development deal for Sex Criminals.

Not sure if the project is still alive or not. 

I really enjoyed the series. They jumped to issue 69 and then ended it last I checked but hopefully the development deal is still going for a possible show.
