Picked up this Mayhew just 48hrs before McGregor was announced. Got lucky.

Very nice!

Still plenty of time for me as well 

Here is one book that I disagree with CGC's interpretation.... Love and Rockets #1 Fifth Printing.  There is not a great sample size since these are two of the only three books on the CGC census, but here are two of them.

One copy is missing only the yellow ink with the exception of the very right edge. The other colors are not faded, only missing the yellow. The greens become blue, the reds become pink, the purples become brown and yet the blues stay rich and even (especially around the blue glove on the right side where the color change should be the most dramatic).

Any opinions?

It looks incredible!!! I love it and so Happy it went to you so you could improve it! When you said you where adding to the back, it gave me an idea on one of my own.. it is with the artist now, hopefully it turns out as good as yours. 

Thanks, Ash did a wonderful job. Thank you again for the older sketch cover!

Will be posting two prizes tomorrow or Friday. 

I almost forgot about the raffle... I am in for a gift!

I came within $48 and stumbled into a flashing gift this afternoon, so I will count today as a win! Thank you again @DR.X

My two graded copies of Epic Illustrated #8 came in today. Unfortunately, the labels are switched. This would be the only U.K. Price Variant #8 on the census. I am sure CGC will switch things back.

Just now, DR.X said:

you got it.

Thank you!

Sorry. I thought I saw that package pulsate just a bit.

That back cover is wonderful!

Barry Windsor-Smith has one of my favorite signatures.... his signature matches his art (especially the head dress on this cover).
