  1. So I recently realized that JIM 83 is recognized as the first appearance of Korg, even though he isn’t named in the issue.  Instead, he was named in a later issue of the Planet Hulk run, and retconed to have been present as one of the Stone Men in JIM 83.  This got me thinking, what is the comic collecting community’s take on something like this?  Would CGC labels potentially start referencing such a first appearance after a retcon like this?

  2. Hi all, has there ever been reports of CGC grading counterfeits as legit copies in error? The reason I ask is because I recently bought a CGC graded #1. The CGC label looks fine, I ran the registry number and it checks out, but it's so hard to tell without a confirmed counterfeit to compare side by side. Anyone ever heard of this happening? I took a close look, and it doesn't appear as though the CGC label could have been swapped out either, but there are pro scammers out there. I'd love to be able to relax with my new treasure!

  3. Thanks silverweb!

     

    Resto includes color touch, glue on spine, tear seals, and trimming on the right and bottom edge.

     

    I don't mind restored books as much as some people do. They provide me with a way to add books to my collection that I could never afford if they were blue label.

  4. Hi, my name is Mark and I began collecting and reading comics as a teenager in the early 90s. Now, as an older child in my 30s, I am recovering from the damage of all those poly bags and variant covers, and have found that there are so many great stories and artists in this medium.

     

    My primary interest in collecting comics is to read them, but I have also acquired a few keys over the past few years.
