I just bought a mystery men 7 with stated cream to off-white pages only to discover the grader notes stating "brittleness splitting interior." I find this extremely frustrating because I usually do not buy brittle page books. I feel duped by CGC not the seller. So frustrating!

Just got back my Gobbledygook #1, 2 original art back from the framer. Looks great!

These copies have an interesting pedigree. I am only the second owner. The first owner was Marc Estes. His family rented Eastman and Laird the space where Mirage Studios began. It was a humble space and hence 'Mirage.' Marc held onto these copies until a few years ago when I purchased them. I had Eastman authenticate the books not long after I purchased them; however, CGC was not certifying them at the time and they remained ungraded until this month. As a collector, the certification certainly adds value. :-)

My recently graded copies from the fabled 50 print run. Woohoo!

They are definitely a 'blue chip' level collectible with the certification done. They will always be rare. :-)

Yes, I heard about the second signing. I registered for the Eastman event within an hour of it going live. He's such a nice guy it's great to participate in his success. May the grading Gods be with you. I feel like the grading on the #2 was a little harsh, but I can't complain too much. Feeling grateful to have these copies certified.

Just got these back from CGC. Thanks to Kevin Eastman for authenticating and signing. :-)

My copies came from the son of the owner of the apartment (Mirage Studios) that Eastman and Laird rented. I also own original art from both issues.
