Hello,

I re-read the new guidelines to double-check, and I think I understand correctly, but I'm surprised the set doesn't exist. I know some sets have been moved to legacy, but it says they will be broken out into their own sets however there isn't a Star Wars (1977) set that is only the main issues. The other breakouts are there but not a set that is only 1-107 (and the 3 annuals?) first/original prints. I can make the set request, but I wanted to make sure I'm not misunderstanding how things work now.

Hello all, I am finally parting ways with my Infinity Gauntlet #1 CGC 9.6 SS, it truly is one of a kind with all of its remarks (please see below or see the listing), it is located at https://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?id=1716474. Offers are welcome & encouraged!

Below are the details of the book and the notes:

I've listed tons of raw and CGC graded Blue Beetle and Blue Beetle related books on eBay for auction starting at 0.99, these auctions end over the next 2-4 days. There are some affordable low grade copies in this lot, as well as a couple higher grade books. Additionally, some GGA books and the extremely rare Real Hit Comics #1 is offered here.

For ComicLink, all books are CGC graded, most of the books started their auction tonight, some of these books include Real Hit Comics #1 Coverless Edition (THE ONLY ONE ON THE CENSUS), Mystery Men Comics #1, Mystery Men Comics #7, Blue Beetle #1, Blue Beetle #42 in CGC 8.0!, the single highest graded copy of Blue Beetle #58, the super rare Blue Beetle #59 (Canadian Edition, SINGLE HIGHEST GRADED), and the hard to find Blue Beetle #60, All Top Comics #13 and Big 3 #3 and more!! Blue Beetle #32 in CGC 7.0 (the Hitler cover) will go on auction on August 12th.

Same issue here, none of my submissions are showing up, I check my submission status almost every day because I have a submission CGC received on the 17th that they still have not input into the system.

Well packed and shipped in a timely manner.

Thanks again

Hi Mollie,

Could you please add a set for

Riverdale (v1)(v2 if enough books are eligible)

I created a Riverdale (Vol.1 & Vol. 2) Set for you. There are no issues of the 2019 series graded yet, so they are just empty slots.

Real Hit Comics #1 (only one issue, the regular edition, and coverless edition) - If this one can't be created because there is only one graded copy then I can either request for a comprehensive Blue Beetle appearance set to be created so that this could be added (because I've noticed a good amount of the books he is in are not listed) or I can submit the second copy of the book that I have so that there would be two on the census.

I included Real Hit Comics #1 in the Blue Beetle (1939) Set. Real Hit Comics contains some stories from issue #25 and even the cover is the same. Just some ad swaps really. It seemed like the best fit. We don't build sets that consist of one book. Meaning even if there is a regular and a cover less, it's still the same book. Real Hit Comics is a one-shot with a variant. There has to be an issue #2 (or #3 or #4). Never worry if you have the only one on the census, I'll build you a set even if you are the only one that has it graded... But,  it's not a series you are collecting, if it is just one book. If you wish to build a comprehensive Blue Beetle Character Appearance Set, I would use the custom set feature. Character appearance sets tend to create controversy between members on what should and shouldn't be included.  

Thank you so much Mollie!

I'd send this in an email to me, and I'll send this on to the graders: brittany@cgccomics.com

If you need a question answered by someone at CGC, it's best to contact us directly: 1-877-662-6642

Thank you for your timely response! I sent the email, please keep me updated! I'd love to know when this goes through so that I can start submitting some of my own collection in regards to these books.

Hello CGC, and anyone else who peruses this thread!

I'm creating this thread because the label update thread hasn't had a CGC response since 2015, and the changes I'm requesting are quite wide, a simple note within the books when being submitted wouldn't fix this problem for years. This has been on my mind for quite awhile now, and I finally realized that hopefully you guys can fix this. There are many things I collect, but two of the main things are Spawn and Blue Beetle. We all know that most of the early Spawn books were heavily overprinted for the direct market, what most people don't know is that they also printed books for the Newsstand, only ONE percent of what was printed for Direct. This means on a book such as #1, where there was around 1 million printed, there are only around 10,000 Newsstands. Now I know for #1 CGC has started to recognize the difference, however this difference is not only limited to number 1. Newsstands were printed from issue 1 through 112, and then 117-137. The Newsstand counterpart only becomes more rare as the print run decreases, combined with the fact that companies printed less and less newsstands as time went on. For example, Comichron indicates that for issue 137 (the final newsstand) there were 34,735 Direct units, this would mean that there were only around 3400 Newsstands printed IF Image was still printing Newsstands at 1% which they most likely were not.  The whole point of this is that the CGC census is incorrectly displaying data unless you separate the two, for a book such as Spawn #98, there is only 9 on the census, so only one of them may be newsstand. That makes a huge difference, and would greatly help collectors like myself if we knew how many newsstands were actually on the census. With all that said, here are the specific label updates I am proposing in the event that a Spawn comic has a UPC, I will start with Spawn 2, even though you may already be labeling those.

Spawn #2-63, 65-100, 106-112, 117-137 - Label: Newsstand Edition
There are two different UPC editions for the following books, one with a sticker, and one without - Spawn #64 (only book with the UPC on the back, the sticker version has the barcode on the front) #101-105 - Label for those with a sticker: Sticker UPC Newsstand Edition; Label for those without a sticker: Newsstand Edition

This means that the books on the first line should have two different designators on the CGC census (Direct and Newsstand Edition) and the books on the second line should have three different designators on the CGC census (Direct, Newsstand Edition, and Sticker UPC Newsstand Edition)

The market needs to see these updates from CGC, it will help establish a true rarity of these books over the years. We, as collectors, know that they are very rare but it isn't being quantified.

Please consider updating the early limited series' for Spawn as well, the complete info on which books have Newsstand can be found at the SpawnWorld link below. I also hyperlinked an article from 2015 that goes into more detail about the Newsstand differential and has info from Chuck from Mile High Comics. Lastly, I hyperlinked the Monthly Sales page for August 2004 to show the assessed order of Spawn #137 which supports my statistics above.

I'm begging you all as a true fan and collector of these books... do them justice.
