  1. What I mean by 'checking copy' is the copy that was used to verify if corrections needed to be made before they ran the whole print run. I'm not a Marvel Comics 1 guy so I don't recall the exact details, but I'm pretty sure the checking copy is different copy from the Pay Copy. You would have to ask Vincent what he remembers.
  2. I believe even if the top corner of the cover is missing you can identify the version by the indicia on the inside front cover. The November copies have a black rectangle over the word October and possibly the word November was also added to it. I'm not a Marvel Comics 1 guy - just trying to recall when what I saw a few decades ago. Also worth noting is Vincent Z. had access to the checking copy of Marvel Comics 1 and he compared it to an October printing to see if there were any changes brought about during the checking process. He did not see any difference between the two.
  3. FYI: The cedar chest was just another part of the fictional story Darren Adams was using to hype up the sale.
  4. Great news Mike! Thanks for your help in finally making this happen. Twenty years ago I was trying to get cgc to start identifying which version it was before encapsulating it so it would be clear which version of the book I would be purchasing. The people in charge at that time wanted to keep this information hidden from the buying public. Are grader notes free to access or does CGC still charge for them?

  7. Also you might want to check out this thread from 2003 to see if it's mentioned in there:
  8. I remember the site. But off the top of my head I'm not sure what it was. Did you try asking Ian Lavine if he knows about it. It wasn't set up by him, but one of the other DC giveaway completists. If he doesn't remember it he should be able to give you a lead on who else to ask as there are only a handful of giveaway completists collectors out there. Please let me know what you find out. I also have an interest in giveaways.
  9. Please stop your attempt at trying to bully me by shoving your viewpoint down my throat as if you are the arbiter of truth. You sure didn't make any comments when I gave my strict viewpoint on the subject on the first page of the thread. Take your toxicity elsewhere.
  10. I always have a laugh when an October Marvel Comics 1 shows up. It reminds me how Metropolis Comics would go on and on about comic collectors don't distinguish between multiple printings of Golden Age comic book keys and they are all worth the same as all that's important is it's the first issue. That was until they had an October Marvel Comics 1 they were selling. They did a complete 180 and went on an on about how important and more valuable the first printing is.
  11. There's always the bag test. If it doesn't fit in a Silver Age bag then it's a Golden Age book.
  12. If you have an ebay seller account you go to selling and then click the research tab and it gives you free access to Terapeak. I agree with the other responder about mycomicshop.com as a possible way to sell the book on consignment for you. Send them a query asking about their interest of selling it on consignment. There's a stand up board member named Conan who works for them who is very helpful. You can try to message him on the boards here about it for his advice. Let us know what you end up deciding what to do. Have a great Thanksgiving.
