  1. That is a "magazine" size slab. I've never found a good Mylar solution for them I use; EGerber 1114M2 11 1/2 x 14 1/2 , but wish there was a nicer fit, like 10x14 1/2.
  2. #182 was in a qualifying month (4/79) but it got the "normal" 35 cent. Same with ASM 191
  3. Thanks @CGC Mike Will the census comments be updated going forward?
  4. Thanks for that LMAO. I'd not be surprised though if at some future date the slab label is not printed and instead is a display which pulls a data feed. Something for the 7G or 8G era's
  5. 1 #38 was not enough Actually I picked one up and forgot to remove from my want list then picked up another. My #39 is "Hot Mess" for a 1979 9.8; Unattractive wrap plus ow/w and love it anyway.
  6. request filed; https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/521331-request-changes-to-slab-notations-here/#comment-12778532
  7. Hi Folks: Title Black Panther Issue No. 14 Issue Date 3/79 Year 1979 Publisher Marvel Comics Black Panther 14 (Marvel 1979) represents Bill Sienkiewicz's first published cover art ! The First cover of an artist of Sienkiewicz's caliber deserves to be recognized. Sadly CGC wrongly and mistakenly attributes the cover art to Jerry Bingham who merely did interiors. https://www.cgccomics.com/census/grades_standard.asp?title=Black+Panther&issue=14&publisher=Marvel+Comics&year=1979&issuedate=3/79 The Correct Black Panther 14 (Marvel 1979) cover artists are; Bill Sienkiewicz/Joe Rubenstein both of who will gladly verify that. The cover art was recently displayed in another thread, I sure am jelly, and you can clearly see the correct artist info near top right as per Marvel standards of the time. Marvel shows the correct credits on their websites; https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/17860/black_panther_1977_14 https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Panther_Vol_1_14 GCD also displays the correct cover art credit: https://www.comics.org/issue/33206/ It is long overdue that Bill Sienkiewicz's "historic" first cover gets it proper due from CGC! 1) Please correct cover credit to read "Bill Sienkiewicz/Joe Rubenstein cover 2) Add the following notation; "1st Bill Sienkiewicz published cover" @CGC Mike Entered as you suggested. Hoping this huge slight, even though unintended, against Comic Artist Legend Bill Sienkiewicz is quickly corrected
  8. ^ There are more, Avengers 147-148,Daredevil 133-134-135, WBN 38, Invaders 6-7 for example. But the first 2 books I mentioned were the initial ones I thought of
  9. Marvel Spotlight 28 and Werewolf By Night 39. .25 Comics were way before my time.
  10. Will takes Mike suggestion regarding BP14 Sienkiewicz and start a new thread in a day or 2.
  11. I do love the 1978-1979 35 Cent'ers. New slab was self submitted.
  12. Mike, please explain how we can have CGC correct the credits? First cover of an artist of Sienkiewicz's caliber deserves to be recognized. @CGC Mike
  13. all depends on what was paid. If it's more than a hobby as those with business acumen are aware; Cash flow is king!
