GPAnalysis has already reserved a spot for "Adventures of Mr Obadiah Oldbuck"! It recognizes the title of the book as a comic book. There just isn't any CGC data to include yet! That's a good way to start showing respect for this book. Now for actual slabbing (although query whether you would really want to, just looking at the gilt cover -- i might want to hold it in my hands every so often).

I looked into this a bit and yes, all hail Mr. Oldbuck! To the extent that comic books continue to be primarily enjoyed/produced by Anglophones the world over, especially since 1990 with the globalization effects of the great equalizer -- movies! -- it would be difficult to overstate the importance of the 1841 version of Adventures of Mr. Oldbuck, i.e., the one published in London by Tilt and Bogue. It appears that experts now agree that the Tilt and Bogue 1842 version was the very first comic book in the English language ever and certainly the first published in Europe. Arguably, the 1841 version is more important than the Brother Jonathan Extra IX version published in 1842 in the United States (New York by Winston & Co.). That is because there is no dispute that the 1842 Brother Jonathan version used the actual printing plates from the Tilt and Bogue version. The Brother Jonathan version may be the first comic book actually published in the U.S., but technically it was just a reprint of the 1841 London version! When funds allow (haven't quite figured out yet how to adjust my hunt for keys), I want a Tilt/Bogue Oldbuck book. Now if only CGC would slab this thing too.... just out of respect!

Guys, thank you for your comments. Did you notice the two horizontal creases on the right of Spidey front cover? Are those what you call printer creases? If so, does it affect actual grade? If not, what grade would you use to value the comic, in light of the printer creases?

Howdy! I mean grrr! I found this nice-looking Spidey. Please let me know what you think CGC would find/grade. If there is a crease, are they all treated alike? Don't know about interior pages yet, so let's stick with cover. Look forward to your wisdom.

Thanks

Thanks! Will heed.

Thanks.

I know right? It was a fool, I tell you.

That had a good ending, indeed! thx for sharing

Ok. Thanks!

Here you go.

So just to make sure I followed, this would not get a qualified grade, just a lower grade in light of the sticker? The sticker placement bugs...but depends on the price i guess, b/c the rest of the book is really nice.

Right....so I guess my question is, would an ink pull (assuming even up to 1/2 of the original surface area of sticker) result in the same, less, or more of a downgrade than sticker? Here's the pix:

Very interesting, indeed! But would you try to remove the sticker?

Hi folks. I posted this question just now in the noob section, but I think it belongs here. Let’s assume a FF#67 that some fool disrespected by placing a dime-sized rectangular price sticker at the mid-bottom of front cover, obscuring “Power” where it says “Power of Him”. Assume further that the book w/o the sticker is at least a blue label 8.0. How would CGC grade this book with the sticker (assuming it’s an 8.0 w/o the sticker)? Would it get a qualified grade, and if so what? Or a universal, but if so what? But also wondering what grade would be expected if the sticker were removed and some glue residue remained (making clear the dimensions of the now-removed sticker). Another question is whether you recommend removal of the sticker, all things considered. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
