Hi, I’ve seen quite a few CGC graded comic paperbacks, but never the Empire Strikes Back marvel illustrated paperback. Is there any reason why you couldn’t slab it? (I don’t believe there are any on the census). I have a ton of other similar comic paperbacks I’d love to slab. Thank you! Tim

I love how you have an image of the interior placed on the outside of the Mylar! It’s probably a lot of work - very cool.

Just FYI for Whitman lovers: I did a post about the Whitman Marvel branded 3-packs back in 2017.

Those are beauties!

I bought most of my bags online. I’ve been searching them for 20 years. I can tell you they are a lot harder to find now. Possibly because folks open them for grading?

Most of the bags I’ve seen and owned only offered a penny off the cover price. I used to buy them simply because I couldn’t find comics anywhere else.

I enjoy Regie Collects, Pop fun to play, Very Gary, and Aznfunk, on YouTube. Comic Gains is a pretty cool new show too.

Great books packaged well - thank you!

The Marvel paperback was published before all of them. It had the original Yoda, drawn by Williamson before they knew what movie Yoda would look like. Then revised to movie Yoda for MSS 16, SW 41, 42, etc.

This is odd. Why wouldn’t they use the Canadian priced (.75) books in the Canadian bags? Sorry about the upside down image - it’s correct on my phone, but flips when inserted?

@batmiesta just posted a pic of his nice copy in the ‘Bronze Age Treasuries’ thread below.

Could be, but I doubt they’d go through the trouble of printing the back (Surfer logo), and “aging” the paper. More likely just cut out of a low grade copy, but yes, keep an eye out for reproductions - they are all over eBay.

Thanks for the reply! I like to collect error versions, but I also like to collect $125 for a book I paid $25 for haha. of course I would note the error if selling the error version.

Haha I did the same thing! Couldn’t pass up $390 for number 3 and 4 - now still a giant hole on the shelf. Thanks for your response!

Wondering what you all would do here? I purchased the BPRD Hell on Earth #2 hardcover when it first came out. Before I received it I got an email from IST stating that there was a printing error, and I would be receiving a corrected version once they received them from Dark Horse. They said I could keep the error version. I did receive the corrected version, and have both. Now the price is over $100 for the book, so I want to sell one of them. The copies I’ve seen sold don’t mention the error. 1. Which one would you sell? 2. Do you think the error version would be worth more or less? 3. Anyone else have the error version? Interesting note: both copies show first printing. SPOILER: second image shows last page of one of the stories. Upper copy is corrected version. Lower copy missing last page of story.

The Authority is fantastic! Highly recommended.
